The [Thanksgiving] Papers

We're gonna start the holiday weekend a bit early here at Beachwood HQ. We do have a few new posts on tap for the next few days, but the Papers will not appear again until Monday. I will, however, post at Division Street on the latest political developments.

In the meantime, let's take a look back at some of the turkey time highlights from Beachwood from the last two years. I think you'll agree they're timeless.
