I passed through on bicycle once, but I plan on going another route next time, just to avoid the place. It is an odd location and I did have bad luck there. Thorns + Tires = Bad.<br /><br />The town made national news during World War I. As reprinted by Stars and Stripes in its March 15, 1918 issue, the town's mayor, W. C. Langlotz, and ten of the town's citizens were charged with espionage. They were arrested following the display of the flag of the German Empire over the entry of the Germania club in Fayetteville. The group pleaded "not guilty": the mayor said the flag had been displayed by mistake.<br /><br />From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayetteville,_TexasXenkenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797955271866091274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-63573391106084350392012-07-05T19:26:32.106-04:002012-07-05T19:26:32.106-04:00Interesting, thanks for this.

Having been born in Fayetteville, NC on base at Fort Bragg (my dad was in the 82nd airborne) this was a slightly unnerving read, since I've only ever looked into the fay/fae connection. I've been told tons of stories about UFO sightings around base, of craft unlike anything they had on base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-44643747678657473492012-06-24T23:16:52.998-04:002012-06-24T23:16:52.998-04:00You need to also check on the native american lege...You need to also check on the native american legend about a cave inhabited by giants near the historic pig-iron port of Fayette,Michigan.

For example, Juan Ponce de Leon (1474-1521) was about 4' 11". He was considered tall by most Europeans at the time. When Ponce de Leon hired over 200 for his crew, for his first voyage to Florida in 1513, he reportedly only picked men who were shorter than he was.Loren Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705306131201565523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-2128689708119090412012-06-22T06:19:28.155-04:002012-06-22T06:19:28.155-04:00BTW, Alan Borky, I did find this:
"At a time...BTW, Alan Borky, I did find this:<br /><br />"At a time when the average man was only about 5 feet five inches tall, the Marquis de Lafayette is described by various contemporaries as being 'tall and broad shouldered' or 'tall and long limbed.' Sketches made of him with George Washington (who was about 6 feet 2 inches tall) show the Marquis as only slightly shorter. Therefore, we can guess that the Marquis was somewhere about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall."<br /><br /><br />Source: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_tall_was_the_marquis_de_LaFayetteLoren Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705306131201565523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-47281540342138578622012-06-22T06:15:41.187-04:002012-06-22T06:15:41.187-04:00An alternative view of "Lafayette" notes...An alternative view of "Lafayette" notes it can be translated from the French as "the little enchantment," as well as "the little fairy." Joan of Arc at the age of 8 danced around a "fay tree," a "fairy tree," some saying she saw fairies. Others tell that she heard voices, had visions, and was "enchanted." The name has a long history.

A local nickname for the community is "Fayette-nam" in reference to the high incidince of violent crime there relative to population. Delta Force, the 82nd Airborne, Green Berets and a premier psy-ops group number among the highly trained military personnel there. Noriega was trained at Ft. Bragg. <br /><br />From there, leap-frogging over Sampson County it's not too far from La Grange, NC, a small country town on the outskirts of Pope Airforce Base in Goldsboro, NC.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288849522994640993noreply@blogger.com
