There's always something inherently charming about where we grew up. The memories, the family, the old haunts- visiting is just so special. But there's always that one thing that our hometowns are known for, for better or for worse. Here are a few examples from the kind people over at Reddit.

u/reva_r asked: Without naming it, what is your hometown known for?


Stereotypes suck.

Crime, unfortunately.

That's what it's known for on TV and movies and video games but it is so much more than that. It's amazing communities and small businesses and sh*tty roads and a lot of diversity ... I just love it so much and it makes me cringe every time I hear a flippant joke about my beloved home.

I guess if you're not from here you probably don't notice it, but we're the butt of a LOT of jokes.

I'm from San Diego too!

A whale's vagina.

San Diahhgo. Of course.

Yikes.

Hitler was born there.

Sorta similar, but my town is known for the "Hitler Dad".

I thought the joke was if you ever flew in the US you had a layover there.

A plate of food that one would think was the hot item at a raccoon restaurant.

Long shot but Rochester? I'm thinking of the garbage plate.

Honestly, this could be a lot of places.

How wholesome!

Jelly Belly Factory!

Ball_is_lifex17

I got to go there in 2005! I was disappointed we didn't get to see the jellybeans actually being made, though. Just a tram tour around the perimeter of a warehouse.

I just recently found an old jellybean container full of dried-out jelly husks, it was the most fascinating thing. I'd never seen a jellybean rot and leave this porous exoskeleton behind.

StrawberryR

Houston!

Giphy

We're the place you call in the cliche when you say "we have a problem".

brutallyhonestfemale

I love calling my dad (ex Mission Control) every so often and saying this.

What a kind city.

Helping people who Come From Away when they're stranded.

In the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, Filipino boxer Hergie Bacyadan, a transgender man, had to compete in the women’s event because of their stage in their transition.

In the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics this year, per International Ski Federation regulations, Swedish moguls skier Elis Lundholm also has to compete in the women’s moguls event because he hasn't begun a masculinizing hormone replacement therapy regimen yet.
