Mayville, Mi. Famous, I don't think so, maybe for being 22 miles north of the famous Lapeer court house. At least I haven't had to appear there YET. The famous Mayberry Misfit

Hometown is Spring Green, WI. Famous for Frank Lloyd Wright and his architecture, American Players Theater, and House On The Rock. Now ask me how many times I've ever visited any of them..........not so much. LOL....Nice clean respectable town though. Sometimes I wish I still lived there. Now we're only 6 miles away, but holy crap, what a difference 6 miles makes for a village, its reputation, and its residents.....Sure, now I live in Arena, but I would NEVER call it my home town

Hubbardston, Mass. Famous for a t-shirt that reads "where the **** is Hubbardston". Also, the Rietta Flea market and some of New England's best apples. I was quite famous in town if you ask Officer Barret, just because I drove a car with duel exhaust and a four speed when I was 16-LOL
