One of the longest-running tournaments in America and the only indoor ATP event in the United States, the Memphis Open returns to the Racquet Club of Memphis Feb. 7-15. An ATP 250 event, meaning that its singles champion is rewarded with 250 ATP ranking points, the tournament has a long history with Memphis, beginning in 1975 when Vijay Armitraj took the championship. The tournament became the U.S. Indoor National Championships in 1976, retaining that name through 2014. This year itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reborn as the Memphis Open and, with the new name, brings a stellar list of players to its namesake city.

MATA Trolleys Return To The Garage For Safety

Updates! Lime-Green Hybrid Buses Roll In To Keep The Routes R u n n i n g !

Service on all trolley rail lines has been temporarily suspended for renovations. But don't worry. Alternate service for the trolley lines is being provided through shuttles on MATA's new green hybrid electric buses. Trolley fares and hours of service remain the same - trolley passes will be accepted on bus shuttles. So you'll still be able to get from the Pinch District and the Memphis Cook Convention Center, run past Civic Center Plaza and Court Square, and go all the way to Peabody Place and Beale Street, the FedEx Forum, Nationals Civil Rights Museum and the South Main Historic Arts District. And you'll still be able to travel the Riverfront Loop, and take in the Tennessee Welcome Center, Mud Island and the Mississippi River Museum and the panoramic beauty of the 5-block long River Walk. As with the trolleys, the lime-green buses will be pulling into the station about every 10 to 15 minutes. On the Madison Avenue Line, frequency slows to about every 25 minutes after 6 p.m. and on Sundays. Check the map on the back of the magazine for station locations, schedules and fares.
