Yes. It was a pretty horrible year. All over the world. In Your Country. In Your City and State. Even in Your Neigborhood. Think we’ve been over this once before? 2021? Yea…that’s the one. But 2023 is no prizewinner in the great-year-all-things-going-great category. A couple of wars. Incredible political polarization and political venom. Lots of court cases that involve the former ruling party (and it’s former ruling leader)……but…there some highlights…lemme see, they’re around here somewhere (hmm could you turn the music up while I look for them)…oh, here they are..our annual “Year in Lists” feature where we highlight the highs (and lows) of the previous year in the editorial format that American understands best: lists. No need for deep reading comprehension here…just take a look at the headline and the info below and you’re getting the gist.
So here we go..the Year in lists for 2023. Get a good glass of wine or pour a bourbon and settle in for the way the culture/society/sports/fashion moved in 2023.
