One of my favorite ways to research locations is with old news paper clippings found in Chronicling America from the Library of Congress.

I found this little gem from 1884 that we will all get a kick out of!

That website is so enlightening. Its amazing to me how much crime there actually was back in the 1800's. It's so much more interesting to read old 1800's news rather than today's.
