I live in our Nation's Capital in Canada and we're most noted for our NHL Senator's Hockey team, beaver tails, the Parliment Building (kind of like White House with as many corrupt politicians lol), we have an annual tulip festival that people come around the world for, and last Winter Carnival I love it - people with blocks of ice sculpting them out of blocks of ice one year the person made Cinderella's garage, and our canal freezes to become the world's largest outdoor skating rinks.

Well I just live around the corner from Johnny Cash's made famous - Folsom Prison. It is set right on Folsom Lake, so water one side, hills and the road to where I live on the other. I can hear the lunch siren at noon. There are rolling hills, so one really doesn't see the prison.

El Campo, Texas - are you ready for this? We are "The Pearl of the Prairie". I kid you not. This is flat, flat prairie land here and the story goes as the cowboys were out at night when they looked towards our little town the lights made it look like a ... pearl ... on the prairie. Yep - the entry signs in town actually say that.
