🛍️ New Dillard’s opens: Hundreds of shoppers lined up outside the new Dillard’s location at the Mall at Fairfield Commons yesterday, welcoming the newest anchor tenant at the Beavercreek retail hub. In case you were wondering, it’s been more than a decade since the last mall anchor clothing store opened in the Dayton region.
🏀 MU and WSU in the spotlight: If you recall, yesterday morning I told you about Miami University’s big win in the First Four here in Dayton. With that win, they locked in their opportunity to play again, and that comes today against Tennessee. Meanwhile, the RedHawks are not the only team grabbing local attention in the tournament today. The WSU Raiders play Virginia this afternoon, and we will be covering both games for you! Keep checking back here for game recaps, and of course make sure to read tomorrow’s newsletter, as I will be mentioning the results of both games.
