Apparently when you’re from Jamestown, NY and the neighborhood, your options are: become famous, run the NFL, coach in the Super Bowl, change the world, or just quietly brag that you’re from here.
For a town that barely takes up a corner of the map, it managed to produce a comedy icon, a Supreme Court Justice, a world-famous naturalist, an NFL Commissioner, a platinum-selling band and maybe someday soon, the National Comedy Hall of Fame?
Jamestown, NY gave the world Lucille Ball, Robert H. Jackson, Roger Tory Peterson, Roger Goodell, 10,000 Maniacs, Nick Sirianni, a Backstreet Boy, and let’s not forget, Stacy Matjoulis!
