Those living in the world's most well-known cities might be lucky enough to be in the vicinity of iconic landmarks, such as the Empire State Building, Big Ben, or the Golden Gate Bridge.
Then too, some people might live in a town that might not have any places that are popular photo ops, but have a distinguished legacy all their own, such as Salem, Massachusetts or Bentonville, Arkansas.
Of course, even if they don't make the travel guides or the history books, just about every city or town in the world has its own claim to fame.
Some that residents proudly promote, others that people hope never get any major attention outside of town lines.
Redditor Worried-Stable-9963 was eager to hear the biggest claim to fame of people's hometowns, leading them to ask:
"What's the most iconic thing where you live?"

Even if some might only be remembered by its residents.
