BE DOPE NEWS (BDN) It's that time of year again: the time of year where the Be Dope staff heads for hidden holiday retreats and dream of super-secret plans we couldn't possibly tell you about. At this time of reflection, we look back at some of our favorite stories of the past year.

Although our pace was a bit slower this year, our journalistic integrity remained strong as ever. We'll be kicking off next year with a series of special reports. The focus of these reports just a bit too special to share with you right now. Tune in sometime in the first week of January, or sign up for the mailing list if you prefer instant notification.

Until then, enjoy this sampling of stories from the past year, and be sure to check the for any others you might have missed. Have a joyous and peaceful holiday season.
