The Daily Ruckus (01/20/2025)

[COMMENTARY/OPINION | NEWS UPDATE]

This year, you can say goodbye to:

Lots of Big Lots

A couple of old-school shopping mall mainstays

Take-out “Geeks” with pretty cheeks

Crafty places for masked faces

Giants on the party scene

The best place to voluntarily get robbed

Your office away from office

A cheap, crappy place

And the local drive-thru drug dealer
