      Hometown Stories Episode 78 - Fries: The Town Frozen in Time
      Nov 16 2023

      Along a stretch of the New River in southwest Virginia, you'll find a town nearly unchanged by time. For nearly a century, the people of Fries, Virginia worshiped, played and grew up under the watchful eye and guiding hand of its textile mill. It was an Appalachian mill town centered on community, cotton and country music. But that changed when the mill closed in the 1980s, and Fries became a shell of its former self. Today, Fries is using its past to guide its future - hoping to weave a new chapter into its unique story.
