Okay, Wikipedia isn't as lame as I'd thought.

It has an entry about Malvern, the place where I live. Better still, it's a really good entry, with a photograph of our train station that looks as though it belongs on a postcard and cleverly hides its creeping decrepitude. Neat.

Seeing the article inspired me to look up my hometown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules%2C_California). We don't have a train station yet but we have a sister city. I'm a little envious of your city being the site of an important Revolutionary War battle.

One of the nice things about living on the East Coast, for a history buff, is the enhanced likelihood of living in or near a important historic site. As the Wikipedia said, Malvern, like Philly, was first settled in the late 1600s. That gives it 200 more years of history than most American communities.
