Tickets go on-sale this Friday, Jul 12 at 10 am (Central) and go for between $54.50-$249.50.Here's a good one --for the next round of Presidential debates, CNN has promised to do a "live draw" on Thu, Jul 18 to decide which candidates will be on which night of the debates --Tue and Wed Jul 30-31.
The network says they will have up to 20 Democratic candidates --10 for each night. Some people are already criticizing the "draw" as something that precedes a sporting event or like the annual NFL Draft.Boston Market said Monday that it's closed 45 stores, or around 10-percent of its 454 stores, due to "store underperformance." Sun Capital Partners Inc., which owns the stores and franchises them as well, said its sales were down 1.3 percent in 2018.
