So the other day, I was watching Jacksucksatgeography, and he did a video on this really nifty map that shows you where famous people are from down to the city/county levels of places! it's pretty freakin cool!
here's the site
https://tjukanovt.github.io/notable-peoplei'm curious as to what people find, and what catches them off guard!
for me, i was surprised to find that i live near where the cinematographer for jaws is from and also the director for the latest Spiderman movies!

Both Tony Hawk and I hail from the County of San Diego, with those cities being a huge part of our lives!

>>1165163They did a cool mural back in 2020.
The schools in that area had fun music programs mostly because of his legacy.
Part of me wants to go back and try to save it from textile death all the old mill towns face.

>>1165156I live in Southern California, specifically near Palm Springs.
I don't even need to look at this list to know that tons of famous people were born or raised or were "from" the areas I live or have lived.
Michell Pfeiffer, Tiger Woods, Will Ferrel, Jeff Buckley, Richard Nixon, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stafani, and Kevin Costner, just to name a few.

>>1165178It would be interesting if somebody attended high school or college with an influential comedian and then later reported that the individual actually was quiet, reserved, and not at all anything like the 'class clown stereotype'. I swear that I've seen this in stand-up before. A guy in a full television special going, "I never was the 'class clown' in school."
>>1165195>>1165197Didn't seem creepy at all, but, eh, whatever. No offense was meant.
>>1165198Ween is a group that I would like on paper, yet, weirdly enough, I've almost never listened to them! What're your favorite tracks from that band? Or maybe entire albums?
