Small towns are often looked down on as sleepy and uneventful, but that doesn’t make the stories that come from them any less important. Take a look at a summer in Cynthiana - which may be in rural Kentucky, but could easily represent a small town in any corner of the United States. Chaotic, colorful, Harrison County.

The brother’s have a few spots they frequent around town, but the ramp is one of their favorites, “when I’m off work, I’m here,” Michael said.
