The Grizz are unstoppable right now, which make's @glassesmalone's photo of the giant Grizz outside of FedExForum entirely appropriate. If you'd like to see your photos featured here, tag them #ilovememphis on Instagram - I pick new ones several times a week.

- Last weekend was a huge one for Memphis sports. The Grizz have won eight games in a row, the Tigers beat Stamford (albeit imperfectly) and the Tiger Football team levied their first legitimate butt-kicking in forever with a 46-9 win over UAB.

- Stock up on Samurai films while you still can - Dach Imports is closing after 33 years in business.

- Starting today, the National Civil Rights Museum is allowing visitors onto the balcony where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. The museum is undergoing a massive renovation starting this month.

- The TSA screeners at Memphis International will no longer confiscate your Elvis snow globes.

- Attention, local artists / designers - K'PreSha is looking for vendors to set up in their shop on Small Business Saturday.

- Congratulations to Joy Buolamwini - the 2008 Cordova High graduate is one of this year's Rhodes Schollars.

- Lastly, another reason why you shouldn't write a check: you could be preventing someone's shot at love.
