ABC 24 investigated<\/a> why the Madison and Riverfront trolley lines are still out of commission. All trolley lines were shut down following a 2014 fire, but the Main Street line was brought back into service in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Memphis Grizzlies will pick ninth in the 2024 NBA draft. I predict they\u2019ll trade the pick and Ziaire Williams for an established 23-24-year-old center. One intriguing trade target that\u2019s been mentioned: Jalen Duren, the former Memphis Tiger who has built a solid career with the Detroit Pistons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of centers, Moussa Cisse will be back in Tiger blue<\/a> this fall via the NCAA transfer portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night was night 1 (of 4) of the \u201cgood old-fashioned revival\u201d in the chapel at the Union Mission. I walked in with a lot of skepticism. I saw religious revivals as exercises in crowdthink and expected to be peer-pressured to stand up and declare I\u2019d been \u201csaved.\u201d I sat in the far back to avoid individual notice by the preachers or by audience members way into the service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really, it was not bad. There were two preachers, one from Arizona, one from Atlanta. They tag-teamed the service in a way that reminded me of Silky\u2019s dueling pianos. There was singing and the preachers told us their personal stories. The mood was lighthearted, upbeat, even celebratory. I never felt pressure to say on do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rain is in the forecast, so I\u2019m scrapping my plan to stay out tonight and will be there for night 2 of the revival at the Mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back tomorrow with more news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
