The Top 10 B100 Stories of 2016

Between the election craziness, the rise (and sudden fall) of Pokemon Go, and all of the shocking celebrity deaths, 2016 has been quite the year for our country. But let's not forget that a lot of awesome, thrilling, and sometimes even scary things happened in and around the Quad Cities as well. From a package thief caught in the act, to the creepy trend of scary clowns that terrified the QC in October, our fair cities have seen their share of excitement.
