Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

We join a gold panning group to search for treasure. In August 1829, the Georgia Journal, a Milledgeville newspaper, announced that two gold mines had been discovered in Habersham County. The report onfirmed for the broader public a loosely held secret shared by a few new white settlers: the gold region of North and South Carolina extended into Georgia.

The stories originate from everywhere, from one shining sea to the other. Local SoCal legend, for example, says that there once was this USC quarterback who threw for so many touchdowns in one game—in one half!—that a cheerleading Trojan horse who gallops down the sideline after each score missed a lap because he required a breather. Thousands of miles away in D.C., meanwhile, the cherry trees of our nation’s capital whisper about a teen who clinched the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship with a 53-yard, on-the-nose Hail Mary. (The play even made SportsCenter, as if God’s grace weren’t reward enough.) Some of the most enduring lore springs from the losers: In certain parts of the Lone Star State, haunted memories remain of an Oklahoma true frosh who was spirited straight off the bench and into a rivalry game, turned a 28-7 deficit into a frenzied 55-48 win, and proved that one sure can, and should, mess with Texas.
