The Top 9 Signs a City Is War-Ravaged | Extensive infrastructure damage causing serious shortage of kombucha. City Council just passed an open carry law that includes bazookas. Door Dash is more of a Door Dawdle. Regardless of the name you give, the Starbucks barista writes "ANTIFA" on your cup. It's already mid-October and there are only 27 Spirit Halloween stores in the downtown area. Stores no longer stock Oreos, only Hydrox. Greta Thunberg has booked two floors in the city's best hotel for herself and a few friends. Vandals have removed the "C" from the sign advertising the historic district's Canal Exploration Adventure. Kristi Noem is live-streaming your quinceañera on YouTube.
