Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In November 2008, Maryland voters approved a slots initiative which would bring gambling to 5 sites in the Free State. And just before Christms, the Arundel Mills Shopping Center got approval to become one of those sites. We catch up with the slots plan in Maryland. And find out how a video lottery parlor that most people thought would be at Laurel Park racetrack ended up at a popular shopping mall.
