Got a couple of e-mails about my advice post to a couple staying in West Memphis.  One said that he rode a cab to West Memphis once, and the fare was a hefty $35 one way!  Ouch!  Didn’t realize it was that much.

He and anoher reader who responded recommended MATA’s 78 bus, which runs from West Memphis to the North End Terminal.  Here’s the route map.

President Obama, a huge basketball fan, has revealed his picks for the Final Four:  Louisville, Pitt, Memphis, and North Carolina.  Further proof that the president is a very smart man.  A computer model also picks Memphis to reach the Final Four.

The Lowenstein Building at Main and Jefferson has its grand reopening today.  Here’s an article about it in the CA. The building has been vacant since Rhodes-Jennings Furniture left in 1980, and it narrowly survived demolition in the 1990s.

That’s all for now.  Recovering from St. Pat’s.
