Not much going on in Laurel, Maryland...

Future President and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower and their first son (Doud Dwight, about 5 months old) lived at Mrs. Ray's Boarding House at 327 Montgomery Street and Halverson's Boarding House in Laurel in March 1918 during the couple's second year of marriage.[29]

Hall of Fame race horse jockey Ron Turcotte trained at Laurel Park race course in the late 1960s.

Rap artist Biz Markie moved to Laurel in 1996.[30]

Former Megadeth lead guitarist Marty Friedman attended Laurel High School in the 1970s.

it's the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.

it has 6 km's of pristine beach, as it's main beach, and heaps of private cove beaches south... it has loads of indigenous wildlife.

it's in the middle of bloody nowhere, and for a long time, was Australia's best kept secret.

I live in NorCal! That is far from SoCal where the blonde surfer types live.

Yep, I'm closer to SoCal than to Australia but if I go to Australia, I can meet Lee!

Cali is not all it's cracked up to be! It's not the blonde, surfer body haven most people believe. sad2

Don't believe the hype! :laughing:

If you lived here, you wouldn't think it was funny! tongue2

I still love Cali enough to stay though! smitten I'm headed to SoCal after graduation. :thumbsup:
