I'm from Waltham, MA. The Industrial Revolution started here!

We also had the first factory to ever make watches in an assembly line fashion.

Now, ever year we have a steampunk festival, too. It's fun.

For my town, it's the scene in Tommy Boy where he hits the deer-- that happened near my city.

We also were given an award for being one of the Best Communities for Music Education in America for 2010, 2011, and 2012. But that's not important.
