Thur update: Courthouse party, wrestling belt for sale, made-to-measure suits for women

There’s a group that’s organizing a party to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the courthouse at 140 Adams. I’m awaiting more details, but have been told it will happen at 4:30 PM on Tuesday, October 13, and that there will be free food from Felicia Suzanne’s and drinks from D. Canale, and various other donations. Drinks provided by D. Canale, a beer distributor? Hey, I didn’t realize I was such a big fan of the courthouse, but suddenly I am. Also, free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.

Attn pro wrestling fans: You have a chance to own a piece of wrestling history. The original NWA title belt, worn in the 1970s and 1980s by Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair and other superstars, is up for sale. The catch is that the minimum offer is $75,000.

Shelton Clothiers is now making made-to-measure suits for women. You pick the style, the fabric, and the lining, and then your suit is custom fit for you. They are kicking it off Thursday, October 15 with a party in conjunction with the Peabody Place block party going on outside that night. The first five women to purchase anything grom the M2M (made to measure) line that night will receive a 50% discount; after that, M2M women’s items will be at a 30% discount for the remainder of the night.

Since the Sheltons read my blog, I’m going to throw an idea out there: Next June when Tube Top Month rolls around again, how about a made-to-measure tube top sale? That would be a good way to get women in your store during the casual summer months. I’ll even volunteer to help with the measurements.

That’s enough news for now… check back for info on street closings during RiverArtsFest, and two very kooky parties happening this month.
