Panama City Beach (PCB) is a suburb of Panama City, in Bay County, Florida, United States. The population was 7,671 at the 2000 census. According to the 2004 U.S. Census Bureau's Estimates, the beach area continues to grow very rapidly at 10,199. During the winter months, Panama City Beach is a popular destination for Americans from the northern U.S. as well as Canadians, or Snowbirds. In the spring season, Panama City Beach turns into a spring break mecca, drawing high school and college students from all over the country, often in numbers that outstrip all other spring break destinations combined.

The summer is high season in Panama City Beach, drawing crowds of all kinds to enjoy its sugar-white beaches and warm, emerald waters. Recent hurricane damage and a new-construction boom are serving to raise the economic image of the area, as pricey high-rise condominiums and luxury homes replace older motels and homes. However, this is turning unobstructed beach views and affordable waterfront property into rarities. Panama City Beach's slogan is "The World's Most Beautiful Beaches." On one of those beaches, the last "WCW Monday Nitro", was telecasted in 2001 which was credited as "a landmark event" in the entertainment industry. Monday Nitro and the then-WCW returned to Panama City Beach every Spring Break at the famous student resort "La Veda".

Yay?

Halifax Regional Municipality



The former city of Halifax was founded in 1749 by an expidition led by British General Edward Cornwallis (uncle of Charles Cornwallis) governor of Nova Scotia. Also province house in the downtown core is the oldest legislature in Canada, opened in 1819. Where the Nova Scotia assembly has met every year since. Citadel hill is one of only 5 or 6 star shaped forts in the world. The Halifax explosion was the largest man made explosion until the nuke was detonated at trinity New Mexico. For celebrities the only I can think of is Ellen Paige (Kitty Pride/Shadow Cat in X3), my brother claims she is a friend of a friend of his. I never met her so I don't know.

Don't forget the cast of Trailer Park Boys who are bigtime celebrities in Canada (which once included Ellen Paige, who a cousin of a friend of mine claims to have dated). Had a beer with Rob Wells (Ricky), Mike Smith (Bubbles) and Jean Paul Tremblay (Julian). Other celebrities include Sarah Maglauchlin and NHL star Sidney Crosby.

i only have 3 "famous" people living over here, of which i only know who afroman is.

Ron Hornaday and Lance Hooper, NASCAR drivers

On "Because I Got High," Afroman states that he is from east Palmdale. In the song, "Palmdale", he chronicles his life and experiences there, giving the city of Palmdale credit for his misspent adolescence. That's where his heartache began, Afroman soulfully sings.
