Fremont is 51 years old and I have lived here for all of my 42 years of it. So I'm a moving historic landmark.

M.C. Hammer lives here. Vanity (Goes by Denise Matthews now)lives here in our fair city as well. She's now an evangelist so she got rid of the "Nasty Girl" routine. She dated Prince, Adam Ant and Billy Idol and was engaged to Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx in 1987. I think she's single cause I know she got a divorce in the 90's.

Think I'll go ask her. Mrs. Matthews these flowers are for you. I'm 5'10" single, and available this weekend.

The Marquis de Lafayette came to town with George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
When Lafayette saw the town on the Chesapeake Bay and Susquehanna River, he said, "C'est Le Havre, Le Havre de Grace!"
The town of Stockets became Havre de Grace from then on.

Havre de Grace (pronounced Hav a de grace) had a Horse Race Track from the 1920's to 1954. It was announced in the movie "The Sting" as "the 5th race at Havre de Grace" only they mispronounced it as "Havre de Graw"!

George Washington slept here! As did Lafayette!

The town had a defense against the British in the War of 1812, when they sailed into Concord Cove and John O'Neil manned the only cannon against the British. He was captured and taken aboard Admiral Cockburn's ship and O'Neil's daughter was rowed out to plead for her father's life, which was granted. The British then set fire to the town, and sailed onto Baltimore and Fort McHenry, MD (where Francis Scott Key wrote the Stars Spangled Banner while a captive on a British Ship) but, several pre- Revolutionary War houses escaped the fire and are standing today.
Havre de Grace is the "Decoy Duck Capitol of the World"
It is against the law in Havre de Grace to feed the ducks!!!
Most recently the LPGA plays annually at the new Bulley Rock Golf Course- where farmland once was all that was there.

It is a beautiful city and I moved home after living in VA for 35 yrs, and in Germany for 3 yrs, during the time the wall came down. We went to Berlin and chipped pieces off the wall!

Appleton, WI has three claims to fame: Harry Houdini was born and raised here. Appleton was the first city with working electricity -outside of New England- in the early 1800's. "JAWS" author Peter Benchley maintains a summer home here and can often be found downtown on summer days mingling with the locals.
