I'm in New York. You tell me. Jay-z, Biggie, Nas and probably some other people. I think Michael Jordan originally. At least that's what I remember in some book I bought of his when I was a teenager.

I live in Oshawa Canada, its east of Toronto. The most famous person would be Robert Mclaughlin, the fouder of GM Canada. He was a major person at the start of the automotive industry. His Estate is downtown and takes up a city block, many movies have been filmed in the mansion, and the sounding gardens. There is also a museum and many other buildings built in his honour.

Hey a fellow member from the 'shwa (as it's lovingly called). Except you forgot *does quick wiki search* ummm.... gee, guess that's it. Just McLaughlin and no ones heard of him outside of Oshawa either. Bummer.

Thats pretty cool, always nice to meet other people from the shwa

But there have been some other people, we have a list of average hockey players, plus i think its only fair if we include all the guys that have played for the Generals

The only famous person i can think of who was from here in hayle is Richard trevithick the true inventor of the steam engine.

"I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn't have to have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anybody. If anybody wanted to tell me something they'd have to write it on a piece of paper and shove it over to me. They'd get bored as hell doing that after a while, and then I'd be through with having conversations for the rest of my life"

My parents went to Pasadena High School with Eddie and Alex Van Halen and partied with them all the time over at our house. Apparently I partied with them too when I was like 3 or 4, but I barely remember it. I MUST'VE BEEN TOTALLY WASTED, or something.

According to Wikipedia, all these people were either from Pasadena, California, or lived here:

Albert Einstein

Amelia Earheart

Bobby Fischer

George S. Patton

Jackie Robinson

Jaleel White

John C. Reilly

And that's less than half the list.
