Question: What do Palm Springs, CA, Evansville, IN, Zanesville, OH and Arlington, VA have in common? Answer: They’re all hometowns of KindleBoards members.

From Bellingham, WA to Venice, FL, from Ottumwa, IA to Waco, Texas, our KindleBoards members have been sharing their pride in their hometowns. The challenge: “What should we see in your hometown OTHER than what would be in the travel guide?”

Cowgirl told us about the Elvis Chapel and the Lost Dutchman’s Mine in Arizona. Rhiathame surprised us with underwater pyramids in Rock Lake in Wisconsin. Kindle Convert’s hometown of Venice, FL is the Shark’s Tooth Capital of the World. The Hobo Museum is in Britt, Iowa. Hibbing, MN is where “Bus Andy” started Greyhound Bus Lines. Cooperstown, NY? Home of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Want to know the best place for beignets in New Orleans? Kathy says go to Café du Monde. Where to go for fried clams in Portland? Leslie says it’s Ken’s. Look for chocolate covered raspberries in Laguna Beach. Soft pretzels in Philly. Pizza at Pepe’s in New Haven. KindleBoards members can help you plan a culinary tour of America!
