      <![CDATA[Thank you John. The point that I was trying to make is, Shelby County will only get better and be able to hold and sustain international events unless the city and county are all inclusive.

      <![CDATA[I wonder if the Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, had played in any of the tournaments, would it have made a difference.<br>
<br>
Shelby County, you will not succeed in any endeavor with a world or international favor without Memphis.<br>
<br>
Most of you are mortaged to the hilt, credit cards virtually maxed out trying to live an elitest lifestyle. You simply can't afford to constantly support international and world class events.<br>
<br>
Keep dreaming.

      <![CDATA[Interestingly, though, and despite all the speculation to the contrary, this has nothing to do with the imminent demise of Morgan Keegan, as we so dearly knew and loved it.<br>
<br>
It's a real shame: all the (mostly) white dilettantes are going to have to find somewhere else to see and be seen.
