I have no idea what Denver is famous for and I have lived here all my life. Perhaps someone from somewhere else could tell me what they have heard about Denver.

I'm originally from Wolverhampton, which seems to have a lot going for it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverhampton) but now it's something of a doghole. Now I live in Kingswinford, which is a nicer place to live but has virtually nothing of interest at all! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingswinford) Cheesy

San Clemente California.  Speaking of Nixon...... ha.  His western white house "Casa Pacifica" is here.  But we are definately most famous for our fantastic surf spots, like Trestles, T street, and San Onofre.  We are also known to have the best climate in the world.  Avg year round temp is 68.  No need for an air conditioner this close to the water...........
Also, it is the first master planned community in the US.  woo hoo.
Oh, and there are few decent looking girls here too.

Grew up in Brea (next door to Fullerton).... famous for oil fields. Nothing else.
Need an air conditioner there!
