Yesterday in pictures

Yesterday I was walking down the Main Street Mall, and I noticed “NO LOITERING” signs at the trolley stops. I don’t remember seeing those before… anyone know how long they’ve been there? Wonder if they were put up in response to our panhandling campaign. Wish they could put up “DO NOT GIVE MONEY TO PANHANDLERS – illegal to ask for money at trolley stops” and city the city ordinance. Could put those at bus stops too.

About 5:30 in the afternoon I walked down to Superior Restaurant and Bar on Beale Street. My friend Pete (not Trivia Pete, but the other Pete) recommended I try a Miller Chill, pictured above. It was the best-tasting domestic beer produced by a large brewery that I’ve had in a long time. As Pete and others have said, it reminds me of a Corona with the lime already in it, but even smoother and lighter. Superior has them for $2 during their Happy Hour from open until 7 PM.

After that I went to Big Foot’s 2nd anniversary party. Pictured above are a couple of that party’s attendees, Mendi and Meredith, who were seen frequently in this blog in the past when I did Tube Top Month. Mendi agrees with the blog reader I talked to Wednesday night that I should do a month about feet. Sorry, but it just ain’t gonna happen.

Groan… it looks like I may have to drive out to East Bumblefuck this afternoon for a client meeting at 2 PM. I’m trying to get out of it, as the meeting plus the drive time will eat half my workday, and I have sites I need to be building for other clients. At any rate, back downtown by 6:30, where two of my friends will have a joint plate party at the Saucer.

The Weather Channel is now predicting a high of 105 for Monday. The coolest high in the 10-day forecast is 98.

Here’s a link to last night’s WMC-TV 5 story about panhandling. Thanks to Anna Marie Hartman for doing such a great job.
