What's your town famous for??

Trenton, Michigan is a small suburb about 15-20 miles SW, downriver from Detroit.
It was originally a small Indian village called Monguagon.

In the 1800,s it was know for building steamships for the Great Lakes. Trenton also was the halfway layover for people traveling from Toledo, Ohio and Monroe, Mi to Detroit.

The Battle of Monguagon Township took place here in the war of 1812, and is the only Victory of that war in Michigan.

Trenton is also known for it's Hockey Program having turned out many Players for the NHL, and is the most hated in the state when it comes to Hockey! Not bad for a city of only 800 hockey players when I played.( CW, You'd be proud of us....LOL)

Just a few miles north of us is Lincoln Park, Mi were the MC5 are from.

There is just to much history to try and recall about this area, from battles and sports, to rumrunners and the mob.

Fairfield, CT is in the top-ten most expensive cost-of-living locations in the USA. Therefore unable to save enough move AWAY from this plasticine Country Club nightmare.

Just don't tell the Mexicans hanging around Home Depot; they still need cheap-labor to build mansions.

I will give you 10 things why Toledo Ohio is famous...
1. You get tired of hearing about Katie Holmes.
2. You freeze your butt off walking around The Toledo Zoo at 10 degrees because you want to see Christmas lights.
3. You know how to drive in snow, rain, and hail.
4. If you see a driver that is driving erratically you automatically check for the Michigan licence.
5. Visiting Cedar Point is a tradition dating back to the elementary school years.
6. You know who Jamie Farr is.
7. You felt cool going to Ohio Skate on weekends as a kid.
8. You know who says 'Turtle'. (HAHAHA! I'm Steve from Car Stereo One....Turtle)
9. You know where the original Tony Packo's is at and you know what type of food famous people sign on the walls.
And last but not least:
