Default Intresting things about your town

Write up. Anything remotely intresting about where you live. Mine, Citronelle, Alabama, was where the last battle of the civil war took place and the final surrender of the south.

Louisville Kentucky, nothing really muched happened here. Louis and Clark started their voyage across the river, but besides that, we have this thing where we give directions, except everything is in relation to something else (typically a White Castle). Its one of those "left at the flascube, then take your second right onto the interstate, go around the DQ, then straight at the high school. A lot of the stuff isnt around anymore, so it only makes sense to people that live here.

My town used to be a very happening place before the lake was but in. There was a civil war battle here. A world class golf course and resort and mineral springs the people from all over the world and Presidents to hang out here.
