Something Remarkable in Your City?

Locked

NOT your country.

Is there something remarkable in the city in which you live or a nearby city?

Remarkable as in unique, mysterious, original, different, etc

In the community I live is small and rural and nothing remarkable about it. I am about a 30 minute
drive out of Jackson, Tennessee and it has some unique stuff there.

For example Jackson, TN has 'Casey Jones Village'.
home

A little history:
Tennessee history, preservation and educational artifacts

The Casey Jones Village in Jackson, TN is nice. It has a train and some stores and a very great place
to eat. Often famous and political figures when visiting Jackson, eat at the Casey Jones Village diner.
I eat there some times and it is really good home cooked food.

There's always Nashville, Tennessee and Memphis, Tennessee with plenty to do in those cities. I am
a little over an hour drive away from both. There is way too much to mention in those cities as most
do know that Nashville is the Country Music location and Memphis is the Blues location.....not to mention
Elvis Presley. There's never a shortage of places to go in either city or things to do.

I wouldn't call it remarkable but some info from my city:


Quote:The city is nationally known as the "Metropolis of the North" and as "Martinistad" referring to the tower of the Martinitoren, named after its patron saint Martin of Tours.

Although Groningen is not a very large city, it does have an important role as the main urban centre of this part of the country, particularly in the fields of music and other arts, education, and business. The large number of students living in Groningen also contributes to a diverse cultural scene for a city of its size.
Museums

The most important and most famous museum in Groningen is the Groninger Museum. With the construction of its current building, designed by Alessandro Mendini, the museum has been transformed into one of the most modern and innovative of its kind in the Netherlands. In addition, the city has a maritime museum, a university museum, a comics museum and a graphics museum. Groningen is also home of Noorderlicht, an international photographic platform that runs a photo gallery and organizes an international photo festival.
Theatre and music

Groningen has a city theatre (Stadsschouwburg), located on the Turfsingel; a big theatre and concert venue called Martini Plaza; and another major cultural venue on the Trompsingel, called the Oosterpoort. Vera is located on the Oosterstraat, the Grand Theatre on the Grote Markt, and Simplon on the Boterdiep. Several cafés feature live music, a few of which specialize in jazz music, including Jazzcafe De Spieghel on the Peperstraat. The jazz music students from the Prince Claus Conservatoire have been known to hold regular jam sessions in cafés such as Peter Pan on the Voor Het Voormalige Klein Poortje and café De Smederij on the Tuinstraat 2–4. Groningen is also the host city for Eurosonic Noorderslag, an annual music showcase event for over a hundred bands from all over Europe.
Nightlife
Groningen's nightlife depends largely on its student population. Its cultural scene is vibrant and remarkable for a city its size. In particular, the Grote Markt, the Vismarkt, the Poelestraat and Peperstraat are crowded every night of the week, and most bars do not close until 5 in the morning. Between 2005 and 2007, Groningen was elected "best city centre" of the Netherlands.[7] Groningen has a red-light district, called Nieuwstad. A second one in the A-kwartier (an area) has been closed as of late 2015. Both areas are in or near the city centre.

I left some info out of purpose,as I'm sure I would break the forum rules :lol:

Joan of Arc is remarkable for us in our area. She is a hero here. Locally we prefer celebrate the Joan of Arc festival more then the Nationnal day.

Don't know if it's unique,But here's a bit of what Copenhagen has to offer.

We have city bikes you can rent, They're partially running on electricity, Saves you a bit of enegy when going uphill :D

And then there's the Red square (It's actually painted pink) :lol: with swing sets where you can lie down while you swing, Comfotable and a bit weird :D
In the summer time its also used as an outside cinema showing B or low budget movies, Until 5am in the morning.

And then there's Christania if you're longing for some weed, All the stalls gets removed once a year by the police, Come back next month and they're all back again, Its been like that for over 30 years now :mrgreen:

And we have our very own Red light district called Istedgade as Marcel mentioned :mrgreen: , Riight next to copenhagen central station (Very convenient) :lol:

Speaking of red ...

Unique to Denmark ( assuming in your city too ) is well red sausage and tons of pigeons.
