Craig’s List: 4 Things to Know – 2/14

Happy Valentine's Day!

1 - As is the case with many holidays, some love, and some loathe, Valentine's Day. But, how did we end up here? According to the folks at InfoPlease.com, Valentine's Day is yet another holiday co-opted by the church to woo Pagans to the Christian faith. History.com says the holiday wasn't even associated with romance until the Middle Ages. Regardless of its origins, here are some fun, topical Valentine's Day greetings to add a laugh to the day.

2 - A vehicle stolen in Rock Island ended up rolling over on East River Drive in Davenport last night according to police. Our news partners at WQAD News 8 have the details here.

3 - The Sherrard girls basketball team moved on to the Illinois 2A Sectional Championship with a win over Peoria Christian last night. They move on to play the winner of tonight's Eureka-Knoxville game on Thursday at Rockridge. More local sports scores on That Sports Thing at about 7:35am on the Morning KIIK Start.

4 - Some of your favorite shows have already been renewed for more seasons. 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'Scandal,' 'How to Get Away With Murder' have been re-upped by their networks. More entertainment news on That Hollywood Thing around 8:35am this morning on FM 104.9

Have a great Tuesday/Valentine's Day!
