Misty of Chincoteague
In 1960, 20th Century Fox filmed the movie Misty on location at Chincoteague. When the movie opened in 1961, the star of the film, a Chincoteague Pony named Misty of Chincoteague marched down the aisles of the theater before the showing.[1] The town memorialized Misty by encasing her hoofprints in concrete in front of the theatre.

gollark: Here's the SQLite one: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html
gollark: There's also... SQLAlchemy, the ORM, if I remember right.
gollark: I think it has (built-in) some kind of generic *standard* which a bunch of different modules for different databases support.
