A couple of quick Downtown-related links you might have missed in this morning’s CA:
Here’s an article about Metro67, the new luxury apartment building at Front and Madison. It says 100 of the units will be ready for move-in by September 1. This is an ideal location in the Downtown core… I know because I live less than a block from there myself. You’ve got Walgreens just steps away, fine dining within a block or two (Felicia Suzanne’s, McEwen’s, Flight), less than a block from the trolley line, and well within walking distance of AutoZone Park, FedExForum, Beale, the Orpheum, and of course the new law school. Oh and only a couple of blocks to Paula & Raiford’s Disco. One block to a great neighborhood bar with really good food (Bardog). If you want to be where the action is, the core is the best part of Downtown.
Here’s a Meet the Chef article about Sherman Smith, kitchen manager and chef at the Majestic Grille. I’m sure I’ve eaten his food many times without realizing it.
That’s all for now… making my way through a pile of web updates at work.
