The Goldenrod's Friday Flea Market: May 30-June 3

The unholy coal industry/higher ed alliance, Dr. Henry Anonymous, 200-plus miles of backroad trinkets and more.

It’s time for The Goldenrod’s Friday Flea Market, where—much like in the thrift stores, antique malls and flea markets across our region—you can expect to find a little bit of everything. If you’ve ever accidentally tripped over an oversized Chester Cheetah stuffed animal while examining some vintage Bundt pans at a peddler’s mall, you know that sometimes things don’t quite fit—and that’s where the Friday Flea Market comes in. These weekly, catch-all, never-know-what-you’ll-read updates are for *paid subscribers only* so whether you’re interested in the latest festival dispatches, story recommendations, op-ed columns or recipes, take the leap and join us behind the paywall.

And if you’d like to become more involved as part of The Goldenrod’s community coverage, here are three different ways to join the fun (a little something for everyone!):

1. In light of Senate Bill 167, call your local elected officials and ask about their favorite book(s);
