October 08REWIND: Choose Your Own Adventure Books
You are walking down a path and you see a dragon blocking your way. If you want to fight the dragon, turn to page 3. If you want to talk to the dragon, turn to page 4. If you want to throw rocks at the dragon…. well, you can’t. Why would anybody want to throw rocks at a dragon? Anyway, Choose Your Own Adventure books gave us an opportunity to feel in control at an age where we didn’t have a lot of control in our day-to-day lives. Come join us as we reminisce about those wonderful adventures we had reading these gems.

September 10Remembering Dolly Parton
We’re remembering Dolly Parton—one of those stars who seemed to be everywhere when we were growing up. From “9 to 5” and “Islands in the Stream” to movies, television, and a career that just kept growing, Dolly became part of the soundtrack of Generation X. This time, we’re looking back at her life, her generosity, and the legacy she leaves behind.

August 27Stand By Me
We’re heading back 40 years to the summer of 1986 and one unforgettable journey along the railroad tracks. **Stand By Me** gave us four friends, a search for a missing boy, and a coming-of-age story filled with humor, danger, and the kind of friendships that seem like they’ll last forever. So here on its 40th anniversary, we return to Castle Rock to see why this story of friendship and growing up still feels so painfully familiar.
