Per capita, is there another town that has produced as many famous ppl as:

[maxamusa]

Same.

I think the other thing to consider is how famous we talking? I was originally going to say YO/Mt. Vernon.

Mt vernon aint YO...its different....all love tho

I know, but based off population alone the NYC metro area should have the most famous people.

I feel you; but that would really take away from mt.vernon's contribution. its the smallest city possible. plus in NY the lines in the sand are firm.


don't want to slight them; they earned that title.

Compton!



The number of rappers, atheltes, and famous ppl is ridiculous for it's size. You can chalk the rappers up to NWA family tree making the city popular and marketable. But how do you explain the number of professional atheltes from there?

Clarksdale Mississippi maybe

BROOKLYN NY

Today I learned Compton and Los Angeles are 2 separate cities in Los Angeles county

Always thought it was a neighborhood/district of Los Angeles

Never knew this…

Bush's Compton Roots Raise Thorny Issue : Tribute: Some criticize landmark quest for apartment where President lived in 1949. Complex is now plagued by drugs.

When George and Barbara Bush lived in Santa Fe Gardens, the sprawling apartment complex in Compton provided clean, affordable housing within minutes of downtown Los Angeles and the Long Beach Harbor.

“I can’t believe they want to make a historical landmark out of a crack house,” said Lorraine Cervantes, a Santa Fe Gardens resident and community activist.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Feel like it might be NOLA.

Topped out at 620k in 1960 but has been on a steady decline since then.

Obviously bigger than Compton but proportionally, it might have more star power.
