who's the most famous person from your town

for mine it's probably Raymond Collishaw, the fighter pilot who probably shot down more planes than the baron but didn't say so cuz he wasn't a claimer.

Im from a really small town in Wisconsin. Uh I guess the guy that first started the Onion News Network went to my highschool but later sold it to someone else or something. And Reed Grim if any of you watched american idol this year, he made it to like the top 20 or whatever. he was the guy that did all of the scat.

Oh that's funny, because tom is from Pittsburgh PA.

Wallisch and Wiz Khalifa are probably the biggest from my town. Honorable mention to Chip Ganassi (owner of Ganassi Racing's motorsports teams) who knows my name.
