The open road can be a mighty lonesome place when you are tasked with keeping safe the prettiest mobile recording booth on the planet and the most talented facilitators in the universe, but StoryCorps Advance Coordinator Zac Barr shoulders that responsibility with a wink and a smile, here on Interstate 94, en route to Chicago, Illinois.
On our way to Chicago, we stopped at the home of Franklin and Polly, friends of StoryCorps.
They fed us lunch and lemonade, shared their stories, and gave us precise directions to downtown Chicago.
It was such a perfect afternoon that it took us all an extra hour just to peel ourselves off of their front yard and back into the truck for the remaining trip. Thank you, Franklin and Polly, for making your home feel like our home.
