Idea from Soundless Voice's thread, talk about the state/province/country you live in such as events that have happened, interesting locations near you, climate/ anything else. No you don't have to say where it is, you can just say "such and such is here" or something among those lines.


Kurt Cobain of Nirvana died here

so not too far from where I live is this place called newgrange which is this burial tomb that's like 5000 years old and something like the oldest standing monument in Europe or summat

President Taft vacationed here once.

Umm let's see... My city is kind of boring. But I guess that the Narrows Bridge collapsed in 1940.

My town became a city on July 1st, 2012.

I remember this so well because I saw my city on the plane map and got so excited, because when I got on a plane in 2011 my city wasn't there.
