I'm going to go with Peggy's cove!
-
Mark Twain's house and the birthplace of Noah Webster...woo hoo....
-
The Hollywood sign and Graumann's Chinese Theater/Hollywood walk of fame are closest and equidistant.
-
@lawbee11: I was going to say the Enron building...
-
@swedishfish: The duck is my hometown too!
Now I'm in CT... we have the Pez factory... haha.
-
@babycanuck: I was going to say the CN Tower, your addition to that is funny.... And awful! Ugh Ford.
-
@Smurfette: I would probably go with Centennial Park, Coca Cola, The Fox, and/or The Varsity! ETA: The Capitol building is also pretty snazzy.
-
CN tower.
And I grew up in a city known for the best bagels and smoked meat.
-
@MsLipGloss: I did think about coke!
-
@californiadreams: Did you grow up in Montreal?
-
Only this
-
@Katrocap: yup
-
@Caly: I went to W&M!
The Rocky Mountains, I suppose!
-
umm...These, I guess.
-
@Amurray: yay, Oregon!
I'm kinda in the middle of nowhere so no famous monuments or landmarks, but our town is really well known for our watermelons.
-
These 2 islands (mokes) waikiki I guess and diamond head?
Eta: doh! The Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor -
The Vienna Operahouse or the Hofburg Palace.
-
My city was bombed virtually to the ground during WW2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_Blitz
They built a new Cathedral but the Old Cathedral ruins still stand today as a reminder of what happened and a testimony to peace and reconciliation.
-
@Cherrybee: that is beautiful! My Mum was born in Coventry, well Kenilworth...but I've never really been there.
-
I'm not sure what landmark Cornwall is most famous for....but here is St. Ives, one of the most popular tourist destinations here.
-
A la Legoland
-
Niagara Falls
-
I live in Somerville, which borders Boston so I guess there are a lot of monuments and such, but I can see the Bunker Hill monument from my house and I live on the road that Paul Revere took to signal the British were coming. There's a monument almost next to my house for it.
-
@Mrs.Panda: so I guess we live in the same area. Which part of Ybor would you consider most famous?
-
@bisous: that's my guess too - The Liberty Bell!
-
@swedishfish: I have never heard of the long island duck before, lol! Had to google it!
-
@ScarletBegonia: *only*??!!!
@Anagram: so is Carlos bakery any good? Will it be worth the wait?
@illumina: @Cherrybee: you two win in my book!
@GrapeCrush: ditto
-
@sunshineandsushi: that's cool! Maybe La Columbia? Since it's such an old restaurant. Definitely not the night clubs!
P.S. I love both sunshine AND sushi!
-
@locavore_mama: my sisters went to college in Hoboken. They said Carlo's was much better before the TV show. Now it's just overpriced and a long wait for basic bakery items. I had a cake from there once and our local bakery is much better.
-
@swedishfish: I had a feeling! Darn food network is always ruining things!
-
Jamestown. America's first landmark!
-
@Cherrybee: wow! That's beautiful!
-
@babycanuck: Same here! CN Tower...But *groan* Rob Ford.
-
Proximity to Banff, and the Calgary Stampede.
-
A lot of popular places in Atlanta have already been listed. I work next door to the Margaret Mitchell house (the author of Gone with the Wind).
-
Probably Chimney Rock (although I've never actually seen it!)
Otherwise manmade would be the indoor rainforest
-
Ummm...nothing where I live now? So closest famous landmark to my hometown - Table Mountain!
-
There are quite a few landmarks where I live. Sweet home Chicago!
-
@locavore_mama: yeah, for me not worth the wait. But I've never ordered a specialty cake from them or done a baking class, which is what they are known for I guess. I went in once with my 8th grade niece who was visiting (only because it was a drizzly morning and there was no line) and everything we got was very meh. But also, I've never watched the show, so there's not much appeal to me. There's a great French bakery about 3-4 blocks away that I LOVE though!
-
Oxford University and Winchester Cathedral are both very close to where we are, but the closest (only about five minutes up the road) is a little shack called Highclere Castle.....aka Downton Abbey!
