Darren Sproles went to my rival high school. Good times
In Atlanta we have Ponce de le Dong. He's famous for standing on the side of Ponce De Leon Ave in midtown, sporting spandex bike shorts and the biggest dick known to man. He just waves and smiles knowingly. He's a local legend.
Ibn Battuta from Tangier, Morocco
World-class traveler and explorer
Bald Vinny. He's the guy who leads the Bleacher Creatures at Yankee games.
Freddy Sez was another big fan who would walk around with a pan with a shamrock on it just banging it everywhere for good luck. I actually got a picture with him at what ended up being his last game, in 2010. He had a heart attack like a couple days later and died.
Michael Jordan, he was good at sports.
That guy from Blazing Saddles that says "Want some more beans Mr Taggert?" He lives like 30 minutes away from me and does all the advertising for a local car dealership. He dresses the same way he did in the movie.
We got a bunch of them. Unfortunately they are actually famous for doing some important things which make the easy to Google and for some reason I don't want to share my location publicly on reddit.
Richard Nixon. He's known for once being the president of the United States.
