This is the 50th anniversary of Springfield's Basketball Hall of Fame, and business is up 12 percent, according to President and CEO John Doleva. This upbeat news in a downbeat year may be caused partly by the fact that it's Michael Jordan's year to be inducted into the chamber of the immortals here, and, as Doleva says, "His impending enshrinement is making people aware of the Hall of Fame." Watch for 50 days of events and exhibits highlighting the careers of Jordan and other champions this summer at www.hoophall.com.
