Wellington

Wind, Politicians and Left Wing Greenie activists

Oh...and let's not forget middle aged cardigan clad, bearded english folk wearing socks and sandals and driving Austin Maxis...usually seen covered in "Anti GE", "Clean up the Envorinment" type stickers while belching clouds of smoke out the exhaust trying vainly to keep pace with rush hour motorway traffic :rocket:

Grand Forks, ND - (city I'm in now) Famous for the humongous flood back in April of 1997 (I think) that wiped out the entire city. Other than that, I don't know...

Chicago, IL - (city of my birth) Jeez!! What ISN'T it famous for? Sears Tower, O'hare Airport, Michael Jordan, David Schwimmer, Sammy Sosa, "The Magnificent Mile", and the list goes on... (oh, and lest I forget, it's famous for ME!!)
