The Legend of Kerry Knope

During the first summer of the COVID lockdowns, I found an unexpected creative outlet in writing Facebook Marketplace posts.Years earlier, my daughter had set me up with a “shady” FB account to avoid constant friend requests, which I used solely to explore feeds I found interesting. That’s when “Kerry Knope” was born.Kerry began posting items I’d find while garbage picking, all under the playful premise that they were from her husband Andy’s mother’s storage unit.What started as a fun side project quickly gained momentum, with hundreds of followers, people eager to “hang out” with Kerry, and even a shoutout on a local radio broadcast.
