Parker County is known for superb peaches.<br /><br />Whitt, TX (pop. 35) claims to be the cutting horse capital of the world. There are 10 major cutting horse breeder/trainer ranches within a few miles.

You tell me, please. What is Scandinavia & Norway known for?<br /><br />We would tend to think that our stereotypes would include some things like: Liberal blondes keeping up the viking traditions of fornicating in the streets. Polar bears, fjords, high taxes, expensive beer, midnight sun, reindeer, skiing, trolls, backward dolts, bland food....<br /><br /> :confused: :confused: :D

Seeing that I am in the metropolitan St. Louis guess you could say that it is the gateway to the west at least that is what they call it at the arch.<br /><br />Also contrary to what the above cheese heads say we have been known to play little football and baseball as well as making the best beer in America. :D ( rams Cardinals)

Fishing and hunting. Jimmy Carter keeps coming to this area to fish. And Stan Belinda came from here and has a farm just up the road - posted, no hunting, so he and his major league buddies have a place to archery hunt.

Oh, oh yeah, we're known for a particularly ugly murder in the '80s by an escapee from the State Prison in Chino. :mad: We're still trying to figure out how to fry him, we got within 4 hours a few months back . . . Need a lesson from you Texans for that.
