Asheville was where Zelda Fitzgerald (F Scott's wife) died from a fire t Highland Hospital (a mental institution) in 1948.

Husker Du will always have a special place for me since I went to college with Bob Mould and had a few geography classes with him. Also: another cultural moment for Erie PA is that it's the hometown of the Oneders from the 1990's film "That Thing You Do" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o40za1wAlI |

Speaking of Netflix, I'm catching up on the show Big Mouth, and Harry Houdini was part of the storyline on one of the episodes. Harry Houdini died in Detroit of appendicitis while on tour. |

Phoenix, AZ is pretty weak in pop culture touchstones, but since he made an appearance up-thread, I'll note that Alice Cooper is still one of our go-to local celebrities (which says a lot about our celebrity culture as well). He's from here, went to High School here, and even got divorced here. The other local person that I associate with Phoenix in pop culture is Aidy Bryant from SNL. Here's her singing various jingles that Phoenicians hear all the time on the radio: https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDM5C6A1AE/ |

I loved watching Alice growing up in the 70s

Ottawa- Beavertails (pastry), Alanis Morissette, Tom Green,Paul Anka.Dan Aykroyd,Lorne Greene, Rich Little, and Sandra Oh.....I think Matthew Perry, but not 100%..
re: Alice...Yes..I remember that Phoenix based series as well!..It was circa the same time as Different Strokes, Three's Company, and maybe a few years after All In the Family. |

When I think about movies where Detroit actually plays itself as a character in the movie, "8 Mile" and "Gran Torino" jump immediately to my mind. Not only are they both absolutely outstanding films about detroit, they're both just flat out awesome films period, two of my all-time favorites. Robocop is 100% grade-A nonsense by comparison. |

There is also "South Detroit" :haha: where the "city boy" was born and raised in the famous song by Journey.

^ South Detroit is my favorite part of the city. It's beautiful.
