1) Patty Columbo & her BF Frank DeLuca murdered her parents & brother.
2) American Airlines Flight 191crashes & kills all 270 passenges & crew.
3) Largest business industrial park in the US (or world). Est 100,000 people in EGV  between the hours of 9-5.
 
I believe that's about it. If not those would be the top three.

She worked for a while at WKRP as. Les Nessman's?  PA.  

I entered DD's birthplace from memory. When I looked it up I found two birthplaces, so who knows, maybe it was Swindon after all.
She had a lovely voice but chose to sing rotten songs. IMHO.

Status: offline 		i was raised in Warm Springs, Ga... FDR died there: he went there to sooth his polio in the natural hot springs (i've never actuaally seen any of these) he built the "Little White House" and finally stayed there to die relatively painlessly

i now live in bellflower california, i've lived here for over 3 years and haven't heard anything in particular; so i looked it up and came to the conclusion that there's nothing special about this town... that's interesting, i guess

Status: offline 		Bridgeton is a city in Cumberland County, New Jersey, United States. As of the United States 2000 Census, the city population was 22,771. It is the county seat of Cumberland CountyGR6. Bridgeton, Milleville and Vineland are the three principal New Jersey cities of the Vineland-Millville-Bridgeton Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses thoses cities and all of Cumberland County for statistical purposes.
Bridgeton has the largest historic district of any incorporated town in New Jersey; it is dominated by large victorian houses and a downtown area constructed in the 1920s. It straddles the tidal Cohansey River and is located near the center of the Delaware Bay lowlands. It has a zoo and numerous large city parks.
Although it suffered an economic downturn in the 1980s, immigration from southern Mexico has recently led to a revitalization. Immigrants work primarily in the agricultural regions around the city, which are among the most productive in the New Jersey. A significant minority of Bridgeton residents speak Zapotec.
South Woods State Prison, the largest state prison in New Jersey, is located in Bridgeton. Several other correctional facilities are located nearby.
