Largest city in America that no longer has a single movie theater in it.

Also, used to have a Ferrari dealership.

The hair salon scene from Edward Scissorhands was filmed at the Southgate Shopping center in Lakeland, FL...and Ace Frehley (KISS) was electrocuted mid-concert in 1976.


My barbershop was prominently featured in the movie "Rushmore."

To add even greater historical significance to the film, one scene was shot in the parking lot of a high school football stadium I played in my senior year.

Ohatchee is a dump.



I never said it wasn't. Regardless, I was a private school snob, so the country wasn't so bad sans the school system.

Regardless, pretty much all of Calhoun/Etowah county is a dump.

I don't know...add to the intrigue I guess

Shouldn't be hard to figure out though, a few of them are pretty easy giveaways especially for SEC fans. There's also an AU poster from there as well but I didn't want to mention him in case he's not proud of our hometown...it has definitely gone hill the last 15 years.

Ben Thomas, former Auburn football player, is the current city manager. Population around 4000.

Tadric Jackson, current Ga Tech basketball player, is from there and not from Tifton.

Olive Branch, MS

Home of NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Also home to some shitty football player for the Seahawks named KJ Wright

A white flight community on the outskirts of Memphis that is probably most known for mid-tier golf courses and chain restaurants.

The town got its name because it was the landing site of Noah's ark 40 days after the sign he received from God of the dove bringing him an olive branch. The ancient remains of the ark were bulldozed last year to clear land to build a new Malco movie theater because the Southaven theater had started drawing too many African American customers.
