'Mr. Christmas' is from my hometown, also Tom Bodett of Motel6 (keep the light on). Went to school with Tom. A nice guy.
Verne Troyer grew up in neighboring town. Can't forget Colon which is 'The Magic Capital of the World', which is another neighboring town.
The only thing the hometown is known for now is that it is slowly dying due to losing jobs. The housing is declining due to people losing their jobs. Buyers market here. Tons of houses for sale. Tons of foreclosures in paper nightly.
Really sad.
