Hey hey, Scorekeepers! Oh lord, it's a blizzard! It's officially snowing here in the Twin Cities, so we thought it appropriate to start the winter and end the year on a cozy and nostalgic note. It's Part 1 of our Best of 2021 series! This year we've had some provocative conversations, met some amazing people, and had a lot of fun. So come along as we take a look back at this wild and wonderful year on THE SCORE! Plus, we pay tribute to Bill Cottman, a Twin Cities arts legend who recently passed on to glory, and of course we'll send you into the holidays with a festive PB&J! Let's do it to it, y'all.
