Locals gathered at The Corner Coffeehouse on Monday, Oct. 21, to share the people and places that have shaped their lives.
The event, “Homegrown Poems: Your Places, Your Stories in Verse,” was co-sponsored by Hoptown Chronicle and WKMS in support of Hopkinsville’s The Big Read. This year’s selection is “Our Town,” by Thornton Wilder.
