Forget the big houses, large amounts of money and fifteen cars in the driveway. The rich and famous are not the only ones with interesting items that decorate their golden homes.
The Periscope’s own version of “Cribs” takes on the dorms of Shorter College, looking for crazy and unique items. We want to know what is in your “crib”?
A few Shorter residents let us into their dorms to look at some of their most prized possessions.
