We have a Super Wal-Mart, Super Target, PetCo, and PetsMart, all within a mile of each other, on the same road. But not a single bookstore. We had a small used one, but it shut down.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
My hometown in Michigan is famous for three things:
1) Wine. Lots of old wineries out there, ensuring we have more than enough alcohol for anyone over the age of eighteen. It's fucking everywhere. One of the reasons I went to college was so I could get away from the damn drunks.
In Baltimore, our chief exports are murder and tv shows about all the murders. Hooray!

i grew up in los alamos, new mexico. we're known for being the town where the atomic bomb was invented during WWII and subsequently the home of the finest national lab in the world for like 60 years
it's pretty much going away though. subsequent administrations under pressure from defense contractors have pretty much abandoned the national lab structure. it's a shame, but there you go.
I was born and raised in Skövde Sweden. A town right smack in the middle of the "talk like a farmer" region of the country. So other swedes tend to giggle when we speak because we sound like we should be covered in mud up to our waists and carry a pig under each arm. So there's that to make you feel like an idiot when traveling the rest of the country. It's an average city by Swedish standards. In fact it is so average that it was selected for some US funded study once because it was the most typical Swedish city.
Tim Sköld is the only person from here who has achieved any kind of international fame, as far as I know. My mom actually knew his mom a little bit. He is a multitasking musician. If you're into heavy metal/punk you might recognize the name.

What is this I don't even

Closest (non-Christian) bookstore to me is at least an hour from here.
Can't wait to save up enough cash to move.
There are towns in Saskatchewan that I swear are a single fucking shack
I once went on a date with a girl from the Yukon. She described her town as "about six hours out from Whitehorse."
Edit: pretty sure it was Barlow:
