Nothing too exciting about the town I live in, except maybe for the tornado that tore through here last year. It was huge and devastated the area.
When we lived in KS, the closest was this town. |

Beeston, Kuz eets knot vat Ey karnt spel
Also the train station has it's own wiki page Notable residents, I haven't made the list yet but "Dr Robert Felkin, medical missionary and explorer, ceremonial magician and member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn." is an interesting guy, when you're the son of a non conformist lace manufacturer, I guess the only way to go is out. |
