And before I knew this, the only claim to fame that my hometown could lay claim to was that Richard Marx was raised there.

He's on the right.
He was also in Stripes (which he co-wrote)
And a bunch of other movies (some of which he also co-wrote)
An SNL and Second City alum.
Brilliant guy and funny as hell.

I forgot... Michael Jordan lives near my parents, too.
Saw him at the vide store once back in '89. He was friendly enough.

John Adams and John Quincy Adams are from my hometown.

Howard Johnson's and Dunkin Donuts started there.

Derek Lowe used to live there up until he was traded.
