White Castle is No Longer Open 24/7?
Yesterday afternoon I went to my local White Castle (you know you are no longer “young” when you go to While Castle and its not even night time yet), and was shocked to find out starting today (technically tomorrow morning at 1 A.M.), they will actually close at night except on Saturdays when they will...
