Hometown "Landmarks"

[Humperdinkel]

Hey everyone. I live in a really old English Village, no real landmarks to speak of other than the fact the Beckhams live there....(Boring!!) But I do work just around the corner from the Imperial War Museum in Duxford... Which is just an amazing place!

Only thing better than a Spitfire as a landmark is a mighty F-111 & there just happens to be one of them at Duxford too :thumbup:

I live in MA now, but grew up in Erie, PA. couple of landmarks from Erie:

No pictures of "cruising the dock"?

Cruising the dock and drag racing in my Firebird was my favorite part of being in Erie for school from 88-92.

Then again, if you're younger than me, from what I hear, "the dock" doesn't really exist for cruising any more.

Hi I am from Basingstoke, England. We have more roundabouts than probably anywhere else in the world, giving us the nickname doughnut city. Basingstoke is where Elizabeth Hurley is from. And more recently it was where Top Gear filmed the sequence of a Ford Fiesta being chased by a Corvette through a shopping centre. Many people make jokes about my town calling it Amazingstoke (sarcasm), Boringstoke, Basingjoke, Blazingsmoke or even Basingscrote. But in between growing up in both Switzerland and Denmark this is where I call home.

Here is Festival Place the shopping centre.

Here is a photo of some skid marks in a shop from the filming, it took them weeks to remove them.

Here is one of the many roundabouts this one is called victory roundabout.
