I know a lot of you are from big cities so this really aims towards those who live in a smaller town like mine. Or if you know the person personally that is also worth posting as well. But are there any celebrities from your hometown?

My population is about 8,000 and we have few. Most of them are athletes.

Robert Purkisher: Played basketball at Purdue and professionally in Europe

Everett Scott: Played with the World Series champs Yankees and Red Sox in the early 1900s and was the original Iron Man of baseball. It would be really sweet if my friend will go pro and bring that Iron Man title back home

Adam Ballinger: Played on Michigan State when they made 3 consecutive Final Four appearences and one Championship. He now plays proffessionally in Australia.

Jenny Bermudez (Jennifer Rene): Shes a techno singer for as much as I know in Europe. One of our exchange students is obsessed with her

Jarrod Parker: 9th overall selection in the 2008 MLB Draft straight out of HS

Scott Woodward:plays infield at Coastal Carolina. He was the conference freshman of the year last season. He also made the USA College team

Theres also a few others that can be someday like Andy De La Garza and Justin Parker who play in the minor leagues.

Can only think of two.

Alanis Morisette.

And Tom Green. I actually used to occasionally hang out with the guy at a bar called Zaphod Beeblebrox's just after his show got picked up in Canada from local Roger's cable access. He used to go there all the fucking time.
