Here's mine. In 1933, the Old First National Bank building was knocked off in broad daylight. The bank robber was not identified until the fifties, when the banker who ran Old First National saw a newsreel about a famous criminal and reportedly shouted out "That's him!" The criminal he identified was none other than Machine Gun Kelly.

How cool is that?

Learned it by accident too. Just happened to pass by the building one day and see the Texas Historical Marker plaque. Would have never have known it otherwise.

Anything cool or interesting in your town's past or present.
