You&#8217;ve seen those awesome, intricately detailed shirts as you walk through the Peabody lobby.\u00a0 How would you like to have one of those shirts (retail up to $125) for only $39.99?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the deal though&#8230; you tell them your size and how many you want, and then they pick the shirts. So you have to trust them. But really, what&#8217;s the last time you ever saw a shirt at Lansky Bros. you wouldn&#8217;t be proud to own? This is a pretty amazing deal, so you better jump on it while it lasts.<\/p>\n<p>Ladies, if you&#8217;re looking for something fun to do with your gal pals today, the Mallory-Neely House in Victorian Village is hosting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/737490273812343\/\">Victorian Galentine&#8217;s Day<\/a> tonight at 6.

I have three words:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s ask Mongo&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure Prince Mongo would have many creative uses for the building &#8211; plus, it would give him a chance to show what he can do in advance of the 2022 mayoral election.<\/p>\n<p>The MemphisWeather.net blog has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.memphisweather.blog\/2021\/02\/first-take-on-presidents-day-winter.html\">first take on the winter storm<\/a> set to arrive Sunday night into Monday. With temperatures struggling to break 20 and precipitation most definitely heading our way, it looks like even those who don&#8217;t have Presidents Day off as a holiday will have it off as a snow day. In fact, it&#8217;s possible that Tuesday and Friday will be the only days this coming week that aren&#8217;t snow days.<\/p>\n<p>The Redbirds will find themselves in <a href=\"https:\/\/dailymemphian.com\/section\/sports\/article\/19928\/redbirds-gets-new-rivals-in-mlbs-minor-league-remodel\">a reorganized league<\/a> this year designed to reduce travel between teams.
