I have always loved local history from areas I visit.
Last month I was in Seattle, WA and had a server tell me about the Tacoma Hilltop Crips and Army Rangers getting in a shootout because local LEO wouldn’t solve the issue.
Today I ran across a story from McMinn County, TN where a group of returning GI’s beat a corrupt political syndicate using weapons and dynamite stolen from the local national guard armory in 1946. Battle of Athens 1946.
What random but fun stories do you know that should be more famous?
