Millennium Falcon High

Old story, but it came up in our latest Star Wars d6 session, so it bears a post. It's mentioned by some Star Wars fanatic every year that Parkland High School, outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania, resembles the Millennium Falcon.

Amusing anecdote: I've never been closer to that high school than the football stadium on the far left.  Parkland was the only team to beat us in track for the three years I ran varsity, and ruined an otherwise perfect season of a league championship, league meet title, and proverbial district title (we seemed to be the only district that didn't keep team score).  

Nearly thirty years later, I still have enough vitriol for the school that I barely crack a smile from its similarity to the Falcon.
