Where did Memorial Day come from, and why does the governor issue obscure holiday declarations on so many other summer days?
This Monday is a big holiday among the officially observed days in Tennessee’s calendar, but the state designates quite a few others, and some of them are doozies. Plus the local news for May 24, and comparing the end of the school year to how it began.
Programming note: This podcast is taking Monday off in observance of Memorial Day. We’ll be back in your ears on Tuesday morning.
