My home town celebrates August 8th because that's when news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Paducah KY.

Well howdy, neighbor. It's strange that since joining Lemmy I've seen several mentions of places close to where I live, and that's never happened to me even once on reddit despite using it for years.
