Jenny Brown @MythosAndLogos i don't remember which one it was it was 2002 and I don't remember if it was the official winter Olympics or the special oympics but my future high school principal a man named godfrey sanders carried the torch for a bit my girl Scout troop was going to see it but I could not go because it was too cold and my mom thought I would catch pamonia I think it might have been 2002 my mom says the oympics where in salt lake city that year

James Neumann Man, nothing. Our town made national news one time when some kids were arrested for chasing each other across a football field dressed as a banana and a gorilla but I don’t know any notable crimes or anything fun

Suzanne (she/her) My hometown was spotlighted on the podcast Small Town Murder (Ep 130) for a pretty horrific slaughtering at a local taco joint. And we also had our own caped "super hero" from 1999 until his passing earlier this year... he was a guest on Dr. Drew's Lifechangers episode and is featured on Ripley's Believe It or Not.

D.C Had a high schooler run over a child getting off a school bus scaring a deer causing it to stab another a middle schooler in the gut. The high school kid is on the run for weeks then finally assists someone's suicide and calls the police themselves to turn themselves in.

Ian Schlechter In high school, a heroin outbreak came through, this was 10 years ago, and three kids from my school got addicted and died shortly after graduation. The cops are still unable to find the dealer, but the traffic is getting heavier.

Pamela D This is crazy…my Grandfather found a 30 foot “Sea Monster” washed up on the Beach in 1970. The New England Aquarium came down from Boston & Scientists from Woods Hole came to check it out. They never could figure out what it was! They said it was a rotting “Basking Shark” but they don’t get that big. As a 4th Grader I thought it was the WILDEST thing ever. So proud to tell everyone that MY Grandfather found it. 🙌
