Twenty-five years after its premiere, "Gilmore Girls" lives on because of its fans. Those fans have created a special community — one that feels a lot like the small town of Stars Hollow in the show. What is it about "Gilmore Girls" that inspires people to come together? And what can it teach us about what we’re missing in our daily lives?
Listen to episode two of "Generation Gilmore Girls" here: bit.ly/48N1vdq
It's heeeerrreeeee! ☕️🥳🍁
WATCH: Twenty-five years after “Gilmore Girls” premiered on television, fans flocked to Pratt Street in Hartford, Connecticut, to experience a miniature Stars Hollow. It was a day unlike any other for fans to connect and live out their Stars Hollow dreams.
