Let’s talk about the mall and the bus stop situation…

You start with a small issue. Hyperbolic community outage and social media make this issue grow larger than it should. A tone-deaf upper management statement turns the entire situation into a dumpster fire. Hoo boy.

OddsMakers! (1/26/16)

The SouthsideCentral production staff was cleaning up the back room during the snowstorm and decided to roll out the ol’ OddsMakers! board. Lovely.
