The county seat of Bourbon County is significantly smaller than Lexington, and is a world removed from Boston. Its population is half the size of Fort Thomas, where Patrick Towles authored the prequel to his college football story.
Paris is peaceful, Towles says, and it’s where he’s chosen to start his epilogue.
“I like it here a lot,” said Towles, who played for Boston College in 2016 after spending the previous four years at the University of Kentucky. “It’s definitely a change of pace but I like it a lot.”
Towles arrived at UK as one of its most-celebrated recruits in program history.
