You're Not From Here, Are You? #3 at Black Hart this Wednesday, 7/2


I’m happy to report that I’m thrilled about the lineup for this month’s You’re Not From Here, Are You? event at the Black Hart of St. Paul. It’s this Wednesday 7/2 at 7 pm and it's free!

I’ll have Katie from Ashburn, Marty from Meuthen, and Andy from Louisville* sharing some stories about their hometowns. I will also be describing what I can about remnant vernacular historical snackways. 

You won’t want to miss it! Hope to see you there.



* Yes, this is my friend and co-author Andy Sturdevant, who also happens to be a bona fide Kentucky colonel.
