We like to think of barbershops as pillars of the community, where generations come together as neighbors to share their stories and their perspectives. It’s truly rewarding to be a part of it. When I decided to relocate from Master Street to East Third, it wasn’t only an attempt to grow or increase access to parking- I wanted Modern Barbarian to be a part of the downtown community. In this spirit– we’d like to talk about another pillar of the community we have in Downtown Corbin.
You & Me Coffee & Tea has played a vital role in fostering connection downtown. From hosting farmers market seed exchanges to pop-ups with local chefs and even board game tournaments, it has consistently provided food and drinks, a space to relax, study, and take your loved ones for quality time together. If you’ve ever been there, you’re bound to have noticed the community board. It’s a common practice of letting members of a community pay it forward by purchasing a drink to share with someone else. At any given time, there might be one for a local frontline worker, teacher, or just someone in need of a pick me up.
For our next giveaway, we’d like you to head back over to our Facebook posts that brought you here and drop a comment telling us your favorite coffee drink. On Saturday, we’ll randomly select one of y’all for a gift card which you’ll be able to find on the community board at You and Me.
