Lawton, Michigan. Pop. about 1,900.
I been here since 1970.

Nothing much here. You can walk from one end of town to the other in about 15 minutes.
We do have some pretty bars,though!

I was born in East Orange, NJ (now, a shambles, maybe better than it was when I lived there decades ago).  I live in Monmouth County, very near the sea.

Höchstadt a.d. Aisch (Bavaria, Franconia)
Pop.: 13.319

Home of carp breeding



and beer drinking



Those small houses are Bierkeller (beer cellar). That's where people keep their beer (in the cellar!). Bierkeller are privat, and are meant as a weekend getaway (to get drunk). Some have bedrooms and there's usually a kitchen and a bigger room for parties or for Brotzeit (traditional German "time for a savory snack")

Saugus, Massachusetts


Home of the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site





The Hilltop Steakhouse (no longer in existence . . . but I think it was the biggest money-making independently-owned restaurant in the United States at one time).





Route 1





The Adventure Car Hop (long gone)





The Kowloon Restaurant - Still in business. We had our 35 year high-school reunion there last November.





The Saugus Drive-in Theater (gone for many years . . . but I saw lots of movies there in the 1970s)

They tore down the restaurant, but the sign is still there. Sort of like a local landmark. They also tore down the Ship restaurant in Lynnfield.

My hometown is Louisville, KY. I was born here but moved away as a child and grew up all over, in Texas (a couple of tours), North Carolina, Delaware/Pennsylvania (a couple of tours). Back now, though it will never truly feel like "home."

We're famous for a horse race and baseball bats. Also as the birthplace of Muhammad Ali (and Hunter S. Thompson, and Jennifer Lawrence). More importantly, we're the capital city of bourbon country.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
