In honor of Thanksgiving, The Milestone staff decided to compile a list of what we’re thankful for at McNick. Please know that we are grateful for you, all of our readers. Without you, we would have no reason to write nor would we have some of our story ideas. In only 10 minutes we compiled the list below. What would you add that you are thankful for at McNick?
