Due to the severe weather that moved through yesterday, the sneak preview of Birdie’s virtual golf bar at 493 S. Main has been moved to today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sad for the people in my hometown of Little Rock. A tornado did catastrophic damage to the northwest part of the city, which is where I’m originally from. A shopping center at Rodney Parham Rd. and I-430 suffered heavy damage. About 500 were said to have been injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I monitored the weather on WREG yesterday. Shout-out to Tim Sampson and Jim Jaggers for a stellar job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sterick Building at Madison and B.B. King, vacant and blighted since the 1980s, has been bought<\/a> by developer Stuart Harris. Harris is backed by a group of local and national investors. For nearly 30 years the Sterick was the tallest building in the South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Memphis 901 FC hits the road<\/a> today for a 6 PM match at Miami FC. You can watch it locally on Bounce, channel 5.2 on rabbit ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congrats to Kenneth Lofton Jr. of the Memphis Hustle on being named NBA G-League Rookie of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hustle play Rio Grande Valley at FedExForum Friday at 11 in the G-League Western Conference Semifinals – consisting of one game, not a series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What happened to the Grizzly Bear Blues site? Anyone know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaren Jackson Jr. is one of two odds-on favorites<\/a> to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With their win over the L.A. Clippers last night, the Grizzlies have moved to within 2 games back of West first-place Denver Nuggets. Gonna be tough to get to first though – the Grizzlies have 5 games left and only one of them (April 4 vs. Portland) is a home game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris Herrington’s Grizzlies podcast<\/a> for the DM ranks Memphis’ potential playoff opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cheers to Tiger basketball head coach Penny Hardaway on National One Cent Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The big day is here – it’s The Price Is Right Live<\/a> at the Orpheum. Show me that PLINKO!!! 7 PM start time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Singer-songwriter Van Duren<\/a> plays the Halloran Centre tonight at 7:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Memphis Symphony Orchestra presents Modern Broadway with Loren Allred and Telly Leung<\/a> tonight at the Cannon Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FEEL GOOD featuring Funk Night Nashville DJs<\/a> comes to Central Station tonight 9-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s it. Off to Bardog I go for a little game show pre-gaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Due to the severe weather that moved through yesterday, the sneak preview of Birdie’s virtual golf bar at 493 S.
