Definitely, those Cincinnati pigs got really old, really quick! It was a knock off of some larger cities painted cows.

The coolest thing about San Diego is you can have breakfast at the beach, lunch in the mountains and dinner in the desert and be home to sleep in your own bed.
Compared to Colorado or Wyoming we don’t have a LOT of outdoor coolness, but we have got diversity in spades. -

I just realized how small this world really is…I was entranced reading about all these places I have never been…And then you show Caledonia, MN!! I have been there! It is only about an hour away from where I live. It is also home to Caledonia Haulers which is a group of very nice, friendly long-haul truckers. It is a town of about 2000 people.
I read this blog daily (sometimes several times a day), and it is very cool to see a familiar place noted here.

My old roomate was a bar tender in Caledonia, MN for a few years. I currently live about 3 hours west in St. Peter, MN. Beautiful country out there and our MN river valley is nothing to shake a stick at either! very cool post!

Just a clarification on Cincinnati Style Chili. And I am sorry, I’m a bit of a Cincinnati Sytle Chili Nazi….so much that my work makes refuse to go with me to Skyline because I critize their eating habits. I mean, it’s just wrong to stab the fork in the middle and twist like normal Spagetti. It’s borderline sacrilegious in Cincinnati.
And Gail did a good job explaining Cincinnati Memes, she just went old school on Chili Spaggetti. Which is NOT the same thing as Cincinnati Style Chili. The image you included next to Gail’s text is Cincinnati Style Chili, a 3-way to be exact. Gail’s Chile Spaggetti contraption can be found here: http://www.frischs.com/menu/img/dinners.april06.jpg
Yeah, it taste as bland as it looks. So PLEASE, if you come to Cincinnati, ask for the Cincinnati Style Chili, not the Chili Spaggetti. You will thanks me for this. Not now…but some day. -

All I’m going to say is, the real McCoy is actual the real Mackay and is probably from Scotland.
It got converted into McCoy in the USA at a later date
*knowledge’d*Incidentally, this is a great meme and I applaud the creator, as well as the tagged for following it up.

I wished I had found this website at the right time, but here is my towns claims to fame;
Fryeburg Maine; 1. Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of telivision lived here, while he was here he invented the Incubator and a vaccum wood drying method still used today. 2. Daniel Webster, (Websters Dictionary) started the high school in this town. 3. Admiral Perry, the first man to reach the North Pole lived here for a while. 4. Clarence E. Mulford, the fellow who wrote hopalong cassidy lived here.

Your story about Gandhi statue is good but presents only one side. It says Muslims protested because they think Gandhi didn’t prevent Muslim deaths. First of all, the unfortunate bloodshed happened on both sides. More Hindus were killed in what is now called Pakistan. Your story forgot to mention that. Secondly, on the day of independence, Gandhi was not in the capital city celebrating independence. He was in Bengal nursing wounds of riot victims. Those objecting to Gandhi statue should blame someone else who in the first place caused the partition of India. And that person is not Gandhi, but someone else.
