Monthly Roundup: December 2019

Welcome to the end of December, 2019 – a month so frantic we couldn’t tell you what happened if we hadn’t been keeping lists. The result has been lists upon lists. If that wasn’t enough lists, The East now officially has a Spotify account with a playlist of all the best East Coast music for you.

Here’s everything we covered in December 2019.
