I'll split the difference, if you don't mind?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorley
I'd never looked up my hometown on wikipedia before, but it seems my family name comes from a bunch of bones buried there in 1442.
As for the name of the town, it apparently meant "peasants' clearing" in Anglo-Saxon. Time moves on, but it's funny how some things stay the same. |

And would your family name be Fat or Sam? |

Haha, I DO. He went by Rob Zimmerman, and he lived in Wisconsin. He had long hair, loved metal, and was an all around Bob Dylan hater.
... and no, I don't know that other guy... |

But it's so much easier to tell people that I'm from Chicago. |
I'm from Michigan...and often I say 'Detroit' to more blank stares...then I say 'it is kinda near Chicago'. 
Ahh... |

There aren't many Australians on here.
I am from the most beautiful place in the world. 
It is an Island state in Australia called Tasmania.
Home to the cleanest air in the world, the Tasmanian devil and weirdos.
I come from Devonport.
I only ever met one other Taswegian in Korea.
I reckon the people are too backward (or stupid) to venture too far out.
I am now settled in the best city in Australia (Melbourne). |

East Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
Home of 38th President of USA, Gerald Ford
Adam Hertz, a fellow alumnus, based his American Pie movies on his days at EGRHS
Go Pioneers!
Some Korean Christians know of Grand Rapids, because of its Christian Book Publishers (Zondervan, Baker, Kregals, Eerdmans) as well as Calvin College and Seminary.
Yes, my hometon was a suburb of Dutch Deformed Grand Rapids, but I'm not Dutch, and I'm not Christian Reformed (I'm German and Lutheran Church Missouri Synod). |
