The Day: Basketball, Beer Tasting and Spoken Word
Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
Winter is back today with some snow showers in the morning, but according to the National Weather Service, skies should clear by the afternoon. That groundhog just couldn’t give Brooklyn a break this year.
Here’s more local news to get you going:
- The St. Joseph’s College Lady Bears earned a bid in this year’s United States Collegiate Athletic Association Division I National Championships as the number seven seed. This is the first time the team will compete in the National Championship since 2010, when they entered as a number nine seed. They will kick off the tournament with a game against the Ave Maria University Lady Gyrenes on Wednesday, March 5 at Penn State University in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
- It’s the last week of Black Artstory Month, but you can still celebrate it on Thursday night at Pillow Café-Lounge, with the closing event “Cypher, a Night of Spoken Notes.” The evening will feature performances by Ishmael “Ish” Islam, Brittany “Blue” Bellinger, Reynold Martin, Dean Brown and Victor Arumemi. Sponsored by the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership, the evening kicks off at 7 p.m. at 505 Myrtle Avenue.
