Hometown of Paul 'Bear' Bryant. And the 'Rolling Stones' wrote a song about it after some of their members were arrested for drugs.

In order to answer this question, my I pretend that I am from Whitby, England and NOT Whitby Ontario? Please? Cause you see I just did a search and there is NOTHING interesting about my town. I mean at least Whitby, England has a Dracula museum, and is know for all there fossils. Heck they even found the skeleton of a pterodactyls there.

So PLEASE Can I say Whitby, England and NOT Whitby, Ontario?

Main Street is paved with red bricks....


Hey now we actually still have one of the main streets that is paved with Red Brick. Awwww looked it up and found this:

Black Gold, Red Bricks

The petroleum industry played a major role in the flourishing of Camp Bowie Boulevard, which formed part of the primary route between downtown Fort Worth and the gushing oil wells of West Texas. Businesses sprang up to serve the needs of well-paid roughnecks, and in 1925 the street welcomed its first automobile.

The era’s primary mode of transportation, however, was Fort Worth’s trolley system, for which the boulevard was a vital transit corridor. Trolley cars traveled along what has since become the boulevard’s landscaped median, connecting the west side to downtown.

Though the street was very busy, throughout the early 1920s it remained unpaved. That changed in the late 20s and early 30s, when many thousands of red bricks were laid to provide a more durable driving surface. These high-quality bricks were manufactured 70 miles west of Fort Worth in Thurber, Texas. Bricks from these same kilns also came to grace other splendid Texas streets, including Congress Avenue in Austin, Seawall Boulevard in Galveston and Exchange Avenue in the Fort Worth Stockyards
