Last night I had the privilege of seeing Linnentown: The Musical at The Classic Center. Congrats to Neighborhood Books authors Hattie Thomas Whitehead and Tracy Brown, among so many other talented actors, writers, and musicians who graced that stage. It was funny, it was heartbreaking, and it left the audience with a powerful message of remembrance, love, and honor of a place, people, and way of life tragically cut short in the name of progress.

This weekend! Come see local poet and musician Tracy Brown perform at the Athens Farmers Market! Saturday from 10-12 at Bishop Park.
