I can't tell you how many Californians truly believe that quite literally everything good was invented in Los Angeles. Being from Dayton I was always quite pleased to be able to inform them about the Wright Brothers from Dayton, Ohio, Charles Kettering, etc, etc...When I told em the flip top can as well as the modest step ladder were invented in Dayton they about blew a gasket and accused me of just making it all up.. 

When I told my New Jersey father in law that our suspension bridge was the prototype and predated the Brooklyn bridge he swore that couldn't possibly be true.  I proved to him that it was, and he came back with "Well, they did the first one in Ohio so if it fell in the river no one would know."
