We now know the name of the place going in the old Merit Furniture building on Limestone! That and other big announcements were made while I was at Rooster Brewing in Paris on Friday.

Read how the night unfolded from my point of view.

We had records spinning on the stereo, cold beer in our glasses and tasty food in our stomach. 609 Main Street in Paris, KY was the place to be, let me tell ya.

"...You may have even heard that it is going to be a tasty partnership between Rooster Brewing from downtown Paris and the consistently delicious Gastro Gnomes food truck. You may have also heard what they are planning to name the place…if you have, could you tell me? I still don't know that."

The whole place will have the warm comfort and charm of somewhere you’ve been a thousand times, even though it’s new.

Thanks Ralph Quillin from RoosterBrew for sharing my article today that I wrote about them a while back. Looking forward to doing more!

Rooster Brew truly is a one of a kind micro brewery. Tucked between other shops and businesses, you really get that downtown feel but with a small town charm.

Wendell Berry in the New York Times.

"As contemporaries and friends, James Baker Hall, Mary Ann Taylor-Hall, Bobbie Ann Mason, Ed McClanahan and Gurney Norman have been necessary to me. And I am grateful that the younger writers, Silas House, Maurice Manning and Erik Reece, are now settled in the state. Before I would name a “best” among these, I would move to Indiana."

The poet, novelist and environmentalist does not want his biography written. “As the only person who ever has lived my life, I know that most of it can never be documented, is beyond writing and beyond words.”
