Is the town or city where you live famous for anything?

We have the annual Rose Parade on New Year's morning, and we have several museums including the Huntington Library where the paintings "Pinky" and "Blue Boy" are housed.
We have "Yuma Territorial Prison." It's a museum now. Very interesting info to read on the place. They let you in the prison and there is one cell they call the "dark cell." You are told if you go in there you will probably see bats flying around your head. Dont worry, they won't follow you out." It's true! Lol! The first prisoners had to build their own cells.
Yes, we are the country music capital.
Yes our City is famous for having a Chruch called the Bethel AME Church , known to have Harriet Tubman who once help free slaves to freedom with a underground tunnel built under the Church that led them to the Monongahela River where a boat was waiting for them to go in to sail to freedom . This Church is located in Monongahela PA.

Where I live now is known as the "Birthplace of Speed". The first timed automobile race happened on it's hard packed beach in 1903. Many automakers had their winter homes here. And it is not Daytona.
