SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — It’s been a long and crazy year, and since it’s almost over, that means it’s time to look back at what’s made this year special, and what’s made it a year we’d like to forget.
Normally we like to drag these things out and let people wait a long time to find out what the top story of the year was. But since 2016 was such a dumpster fire of a year, we’re going to do you a favor and just put everything in one story, from 1 to 100. We’d appreciate you scrolling to the bottom, even if you just peek at No. 100.
And you know what? We’ll even bold the stories that are positive or have happy endings.
You can find all of our 2016 in Review stories here.
