Lexington Stories, Lore and More is back with a fresh episode on some of the buildings and structures that 'make Lexington Lexington.' Fiona Young-Brown, author of Secret Lexington, A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure, tells us about places like the Coca Cola building on Leestown that resembles a UFO, the former Bondurant pharmacy, (now a liquor store) that was constructed as a giant mortar and pestle, and the story of downtown Lexington's Big Blue building. Take a trip around the city without leaving your home. We'll drop the knowledge on ya.

All of these stories can be found in Fiona's new book:
