How could I have forgotten Dick Tracey. My town is the hometown of Chester Gould, the cartoonist.

Orange County Classic - runners come from all over the world. And Orange County Speedway - dirt track. We have a Community College. Historically, we were a railroad town.

Someone sent me an e-mail saying that they were closing the Roy Rogers, Dale Evans Museum and auctioning off the contents. Is that true?

Reynoldsburg, Ohio.... birthplace of the tomato!

They say that, but really it is the home to Andrew Livingston who had something to do with cultivating the first tomatoes in the US.
