Clarksville, TN – When Soseul Park first arrived in Mexico, she didn’t expect to hear so much Korean popular music – or K-pop – on the radio. Songs by BTS and Red Velvet – songs she heard all the time back home in Busan, South Korea – kept following her through the Latin American nation, and whenever she met someone new, they usually wanted to talk about their favorite K-pop bands.

Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving
November 28, 2013
Clarksville, TN – As we all learned in elementary school, Thanksgiving is a celebration and a time for giving thanks for the blessings we have received and the obstacles we have overcome.
