Answer 1

Mazatlan, Mexico

The cathedral that is downtown (Catholic, of course) was financed by a jewish person. His only request was that the Star of David appear in every window, which it does!

Answer 2

Spencer Mountain - There is a mansion located at the end of the road. It was built in the late 1700's. No one has ever lived in the house. This lady that owned Pharr yarns built it for her grandson. He died shortly after she built it. Since he died she said no one could live in it. The town has since tried to make it a haunted house and the proceeds go to the local fire department. Rumor is 2 men and a woman haunt it. People that work upstairs have seen and heard stuff to where they have ran out the house white as a ghost and breathing as though someone was trying to kill them. They have reported seeing a woman upstairs holding a baby's head in one hand and another head in the other. People have been going downstairs and heard someone following them and turned around to see no one. Also reports of pictures in one of the upstairs room just fall off the wall as if someone was knocking them off. - Fair Warning, you most likely will be charged to go though it.

Had a call...
This is 3 minutes from my house and when you drive by the old house at night gives you chills. It's a freaky looking place. I tried to find a picture but couldn't find on online. I have heard people all my life say they have seen a Shadow or a white looking thing in the window. I never look at the top window when I go by the house day or night and I do not walk thur it on Halloween. I don't won't to know if it's real or not....lol

Answer 3

Actually not alot of interesting stuff going on. That's why I like it. It is quiet and clean. Compared to the surrounding towns it's beautiful. It has a really nice pit that they have put things on the bottom for scuba divers. A pit is a hole left from the mines that they fill and landscape the sides if possible then put in a beach. They are very deep and usually very clean as they haven't been around long. Really pretty blue-green. 300-400 ft deep they are nice for scuba diving. I still have never but plan too some day.

Answer 5

My town Alpena is the home to the world's largest cement plant and about 40 miles north is Rogers City home to the world's largest limestone quarry. There is a sign just out of town stating you are at the 45th parallel half way between the equator and the north pole. My town is located on the shores of Lake Huron but anywhere in Michigan is no more than 85 miles to one of the Great Lakes. Off the coast of Alpena there is an estimated 200 historical significant shipwrecks. Less than 100 miles north is Mackinac City home to one of the world's largest expansion bridges at 5 miles long across the straits of mackinac it connects the lower and upper peninsula. It's also where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron meet.

Answer 6

I live in Smalltown, U.S.A. The town closes at 8:00 pm. Everyone has satilite (dish) TV because we have no local channels. We have no radio stations excepts the local weather and how much beef is going for. Cow tipping is the only thing to do in this town, but I out grew that. So, I guess I'm not getting 10 points from you. That's ok, I got 2, thanks.

Answer 7

Pearland is the fastest growing towns in our County, and in the State. High School football rules, we only have one very crowded high school, 3 Wal-Marts, 2 McDonald's, 4 Sonic Drive-Ins, 2 Movie Theaters, 1-shopping center, but 2 Malls soon to be built, and 3 Hospitals in the works. BUT, you would have a difficult time finding any Pear Trees!!!

Answer 8

I live in East Hampstead N.H, and my apartment building has a bunch of weirdo's it's hysterical!!! Just yesterday I hear my neighbor to the left of me fighting w/ his girlfriend.. Now mind you he is handicapped... Next thing I know I hear all this screaming and noise going on for like an hour... Right so I go outside to have a smoke, and I see my poor neighbor lying on the ground outside.. I run over to him to help him and he proceeds to tell me this story of how his girlfriend had a fight with him ( which I already know cause I heard it) and the broad actually knocked him out of his wheelchair and onto the ground.. He was lying there for an hour until I helped him up and back into his wheelchair.. This woman stole his handicap van, so now he can't leave his apartment, took his money and cell phone and did all this while he was totally helpless lying on the ground!!!
Check it, so this morning I get up to go to work and I hear once again some commotion outside... This time to the right of me, apparently the Chinese guy that lives there ( who just moved in like 2 months ago ) hates frogs... Well it rained last night and our building is surrounded by the woods... I look out the window and this crazy bastard is out there with a damn broom beating the hell out of the frogs on the walk way!!! Believe this ****? I swear to god I so have to move!!!

Answer 9

I live just outside Nîmes (in the South of France) and a few miles away from the Pont du Gard, a huge, two thousand year old Roman aqueduct/viaduct which was the model for the 'standardized version' of the bridge portayed on the 5 Euro note... So I see it everywhere I go (except when in the the UK !!!)

Answer 10

I live in Sandy, Utah. I believe we held the record for either the fastest or second fastest-growing city in the mid 1970s in the United States. If you head south of Sandy you can find Timpanogos Cave (about 20 miles south near Alpine) and climb up to the cave, where you will find two rock formations inside (among many others) which are called the Salt and Pepper Shakers, so named because they look like medium-large salt and pepper shakers. The salt one is sort of a light reddish-brown, and the pepper one is sort of a dark gray.

Answer 11

Redlands, CA. It is an old law...I'm serious but no one rules against it. It is illegal to walk down State St. backwards eating a donut. State Street is probably one of the oldest streets in Redlands. Oh and conviently there is a Yum Yum Donuts at the top of the street.
