Just a fun, boredom topic. Has anyone ever looked up any famous people who came from your area? Just post up any you know of.
(PS- if this is in the wrong forum, forgive me. I wasn't able to find a more approapriate one)
--Clarence Darrow- Kinsman, OH
A lawyer known for several important cases of the early 1900s
--Niel Armstrong-
I think people ought to know this one
--President McKinley- Canton, OH
We have a school & a suburb named after him. Ironically, neither in. Or around Canton
--Kelly Pavlic- Youngstown, OH
Local boxer who everyone & their mom rallied around for a while
--The Original Warner Brothers- Youngstown, OH
The old Warner Theatre is actually a local landmark
--Chris Columbus- Warren, OH
The guy at the head of 1942 Pictures. Maker of the first 2 Harry Potter films, the Gremlins & Night at the Museum, among others. I actually live right up the road from the high school he attended.
--David Grohl- Warren, OH
Drummer from Nelvana as well as Foo Fighters
--Mike Tyson- Southington, OH
Ok, this one technically doesn't count. He had a mansion built in Southington & it was one of the several "summer homes" he foreclosed on when he refused to pay the bills.
This is all I know of, but if I find more, I'll post here. Just goes to show, fame & talent can come from anywhere!
