The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom:

Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without turkey, mashed potatoes and pecan pie. Which might come as a surprise to the people invited to the first Thanksgiving dinner. And a haunting fairy tale set in modern day Russia plays at Undermain Theater.

    

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
