Clothing company Forever 21 is the latest in a recent string of chain retailer bankruptcies. The company is expected to “wind down” its US stores while searching for a buyer for its remaining assets. Of course, you can still pretend you’re forever 21 by grabbing a drink at popular college bar Two Keys Tavern. (USA Today)
Drink
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere. The average workday now ends at 4:39 p.m., according to recent data from ActivTrak that tracked the workplace behaviors of 200,000+ employees. Sounds like 21 more minutes for an after-work drink to us. (Bloomberg)
Seasonal
This Thursday marked the beginning of spring, when the sun set at 7:50 p.m., but there are sunnier days ahead in Lexington. Sunsets will happen a little later each day this season, and when summer starts on Friday, June 20 the sun will go down at 8:38 p.m.
