“In the year of the millennium the bear will travel down from the northland
and take up residence n the new city of pharoahs.” Nostradamus never said
this. Still, there is at least one eerie omen predicting the relocation of the
Vancouver Grizzles to Memphis. The second and third pages of the team’s
2000/2001 yearbook are devoted to a full-color ad for the film 3000 Miles
to Graceland starring Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell as Elvis-
impersonating bad guys. Vancouver is exactly 2,492 miles from Graceland.
Coincidence? We think not.
