I grew up in the same town as Patrick Dempsey. That's probably its biggest claim to fame today. Muhammad Ali once had a heavyweight championship fight there, and some people still remember it for that. Because it was a small venue in the middle of nowhere, that fight set a record for lowest attendance for a heavyweight championship fight. Only 2,434 people attended it.

I currently live in a town perhaps best known for its cemetery. But which ranked 1st in 2005 for being the most walkable city in the US, and ranked 1st in 2006 for being the most educated city in the US. Hopefully, most importantly, it ranked 1st in the US for being the safest city in which to weather a recession.

It contains the world's largest office building.
