My town of only 18,000 people is absolutely stuffed with tourists all year round...It's not that great.

My town at 16k, pop. is famous for a few things, but This movie took place here, so it keeps a lot of the tourists away.

Small fact, barely known by even the residents of my town, the exact median between Washington, D.C. and New York City is in my town. There's a small monument up and everything. Apparently some old president had to meet with the mayor of NYC and they couldn't decide where to go, so they met in the middle.

I'm living in China. Towns here are occasionally famous for something like the Oriental Pearl tower (Shanghai) or the beautiful West Lake (Huangzhou) but for the most part, it seems towns are known for their industry. Further, industries tend to cling together. Presumably for shared logistics.

I'm chatting to students this week, asking them to talk about their home town. One tells me that her hometown is famous because it makes 80% of the world's socks.
