roots in the city

Do you know something that has always fascinated me? Knowing that someone famous is from my hometown. It is absolutely amazing, knowing that someone so lucky now came from the same background and surroundings as I did. It gives normal, average, every day people like me hope. Hope in that one day maybe we too can become famous and do something great for the world.

I found a list of people who are from Philadelphia. I was surprised by a lot of them.

- John Wanamaker : creator of the huge department store, Wanamaker's
- Kevin Bacon : incredibly talented actor
- Dick Clark : host of the New Year's special
- Bradley Cooper : super hot actor
- Tina Fey : amazingly funny comedian, actress, producer, etc.
- Seth Green : funny guy, voice on Family Guy, acted in Austin Powers
- Grace Kelly : famous actress
- the Lawrence Brothers : actors I group up watching on the Disney Channel
- Will Smith : actor, rapper, good guy
- Boyz II Men : that smooth sounding band that used to sing love ballads
- Eve : rapper
- Joan Jett : rock star who recently had a movie made about her

Pretty impressive, huh? And now even more cool ... those who attended my school : Temple University

- Bill Cosby
- Michael Schoeffling (the hottie who played Jake Ryan in Sixteen Candles)
- Bob Saget
- Jesse Williams (actor: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, Grey's Anatomy)


I am simply astounded by this information. These famous people have walked the same streets I do every day; stroll through the campus I set foot on every week.

Neat stuff if I must say so myself.


you're too kind, oxox
