I'm not a big Phoenix history buff, but here's some trivia: Stevie Nicks was born here (and has a massive house here, too), Judas Priest lives here, and so does Alice Cooper. So, a bunch of rockers have their estates here...

Hi Spook
A bit more about my town, Hereford
We've got the world famous cider makers H P Bulmers here.
Local industry includes Wiggins Nickel alloys, who supplied metals to Rolls Royce, and used to supply the blanks for some coins, (may still do).
We're the home of the SAS.
Hereford United knocked Newcastle United out of the FA Cup back in the 70's and then held West Ham to a draw at our ground. We were non-league at the time.
I mentioned the Mappa Mundi - an ancient map of the world, stored in the Cathedral, which is also home to a world famous chained library.
A few miles out of the city is a BT Satellite station, similiar to that at Goonhilly.
