Description
Aaron grew up in Bowie, a small town in North Texas. Aaron’s favorite way to travel is taking road trips for the opportunity to stop in small towns along the road to his destination. In traveling Aaron realized that Bowie is similar to many other small towns in our nation. The similarity of small towns is that often the town has unnoticed value from the businesses, the organizations, the history and of course the people. Join Aaron each week as he shares part of his hometown that is not so different than those we may drive through on our favorite road trips. Welcome to My Hometown.
