The Grizzlies host the Orlando Magic tonight at 7 at FedExForum. It’s Health Night presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee and the first 5000 fans get a fanny pack. Local TV coverage on Bally Sports Southeast.<\/p>\n
Another big game to watch tonight: Golden State vs. L.A. Lakers at 7:30 on ABC. If the Grizzlies beat the Magic and Golden State loses to the Lakers, Memphis overtakes Golden State for second place in the West. I know many Memphians find it hard to root for the Lakers, but tonight we need to. Go get ’em, LeBron!<\/p>\n
South Point Grocery on Webster Ave. is hiring deli clerks, cashiers, baggers, and stockers. To apply, email\u00a0Malcolm Vickery at mvickery@castleretail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n The CA has a look<\/a> at South Main’s new grocery store.<\/p>\n In addition to $10 tickets, there will be $2 beers for Memphis 901 FC’s exhibition match tonight at 6 vs. the University of Memphis.<\/p>\n St. Patrick’s Church reported that the new street signs are up – what was formerly South Fourth Street between Union and Crump is now Ida B. Wells Street.<\/p>\n State Senator Brian Kelsey has announced he will not seek reelection<\/a> to his seat. He cited a “recent, exciting change” to his personal life, but the decision probably has more to do with federal campaign finance charges he will be on trial for next year. Enjoy prison, you piece of garbage.<\/p>\n It’s National Poutine Day<\/a>. The dish, a Canadian favorite, consists of French fries and cheese curds topped with brown gravy. Kooky Canuck is the place to get poutine Downtown.<\/p>\n It’s also Cinco de Marcho<\/a>. Hey, any excuse to drink a margarita will do, right?<\/p>\n Big college basketball game on at 11 this morning: 14 Arkansas at 13 Tennessee on ESPN. If the Hogs can beat the Vols in their own dumpster, er, I mean arena, they will have a strong case for a top-four seed in the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n Comedian and podcast host Bert Kreischer<\/a> brings his Berty Boy Relapse Tour to the Orpheum tonight for 7:00 and 9:20 shows. Tickets are $39.75-$109.75.<\/p>\n Next door at the Halloran Centre tonight, it’s Garry Goin Presents a Tribute to Gospel Music featuring Danny Cosby and Ephie Johnson<\/a>. Showtime is 7:30 and tickets are $37.50.<\/p>\n Grind City Brewing Co. releases eight beers for one day only today at a party called Fermented Reality<\/a>. One beer will be released every 30 minutes until all the beers have been released. The party is free to attend, but a VIP ticket gets you unlimited refills from noon to 5. There will be live music, games, and a farmers\/art market.<\/p>\n Urevbu Gallery at Main and Huling has an art opening party<\/a> for an exhibit entitled Mother Nature’s Daughter. “This show is for the fierce woman,” writes the curator, noting that March is Women’s Month.<\/p>\n There are two places you can get REASONABLY PRICED crawfish today. One is Glaze’s crawfish boil at Max’s Sports Bar. $12.50 a pound (not twenty-five like some places charge) with corn, taters, and sausage included in the box but they don’t count toward the weight. Want more? You can get two pounds for $21 (which is less than some places charge for one pound). They will also have hot boiled shrimp for $16 a pound. Doors open at 11, first batch rolls out at noon. They’ll serve them until 4 or until they run out. My advice would be to come early.<\/p>\n Another place you can get REASONABLY PRICED crawfish today is Crawfish and Cocktails on the Rooftop<\/a> at Old Dominick 2-5 PM. $15\/pound (which is only six-tenths of what some other places charge). If you pre-purchased a ticket, you can get them for $12\/lb or there’s a $49 all-you-can-eat option.<\/p>\n Cheers to 1 Butterific Year<\/a> today at Butterific Bakery & Cafe! The celebration at 488 S. Second will feature food, games, prizes, and live music.<\/p>\n My plan for the day is to lead off at Blind Bear, where I’ll watch the first half of the Arkansas-Tennessee game. Then I’m catching a ride down to Max’s for crawfish! If I stay out into the night hours, I’ll go to Blind Bear for DJ Tree and DJ Taz. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Grizzlies host the Orlando Magic tonight at 7 at FedExForum.
