so in addition to what i said..i'm adding on.. i looked it up haha =]
+The TV show Ed filmed some scenes in my town. +In October 2005, many scenes of prominent locations in town were shot for the film World Trade Center, starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Oliver Stone +This town is probably famous among video gamers, mainly because it is the headquarters of the game developer Imagineering, once a developer of console games. In every game they had produced, the following message always appears in the title screen and in the instruction booklet: "Developed by Imagineering Inc., my town". This blatant advertising practice of displaying their hometown in their games is considered a very rare practice among game developers and is probably why this town become famous among video gamers. +Unlike most suburban towns whose names have little or nothing to do with reality, the town i live in was actually settled around an enormous rock left by retreating glaciers in a small valley (glen). From a 1985 The New York Times article, My town "is named for a 570-ton boulder, believed to have been deposited by a glacier, that stands at the northern end of Rock Road*, the town's main street. Called Pamackapuka, or Stone from Heaven, by the Delaware Indians, it served as a base for Indian signal fires and later as a trail marker for colonists." oh and the guy holding the record for teaching over 5,000 days of school straight (he taught summer school and teaches in 2 colleges along with my high school) teaches in my town. its kinda gross..he'd come to school sick, he never missed a day of school.. i didn't like him though he never taught me anything. |
