Ike's Closing, Women's Basketball

Memphis-area Ike's and Super D drug stores will be closing effective March 23. Never stopped there for prescriptions, but was always impressed with Ike's beer selection at the Park and Union locations. The Park and Union locations may stay open longer if they are sold to Walgreen's.

No one is really talking about it, but Memphis will host the South region finals of the women's NCAA tournament next weekend at FedEx Forum. Teams that could potentially be in Bluff City include Duke, LSU, Texas and Tennessee. Women's basketball may not have the same appeal as the men's game, but locals need to fill the seats to show that Memphis can support larger sporting events of all kinds.

Today is a perfect day for patio fun. Enjoy the weather, watch the Tigers play Ole Miss or simply drink your sorrows away after your bracket has been busted by upsets. Get out if you have the opportunity.
