The Crossroads Suncast

25 years later, the stories of September 11, 2001, are still etched into the memories of the people who lived them. This week on the Crossroads Suncast, we hear four very different 9/11 stories — from a Western Kentucky native who found himself in Lower Manhattan that morning, to a local man serving as an Army bomb technician in New York City, to a local restaurant owner whose small diner became a place of refuge for first responders in the days that followed, to a local doctor asked to assemble a triage center for victims.

Twelve years ago, a tiny pig in a wheelchair became an internet sensation, and a WPSD anchor’s uncontrollable laughter became just as famous. This week on the Crossroads Suncast, we revisit the viral moment that still makes people smile, and answer the question: what happened to Chris P. Bacon? Plus, why Chris P.’s name is still showing up at a minor league ballpark hundreds of miles away.

The new book "Seven Visions One Legacy" by William "Bill" Jones captures the history and impact seven bank presidents had on Paducah-McCracken County. The book chronicles how and why the men focused on stewardship, community, vision and commitment to the town.
