Sorry for the lack of a lunchtime post… was away from the computer.
The April meeting of the South Main Association has been announced! It will be next Tuesday, April 13, at Boscos/Ghost River brewery at the corner of Main and Crump. Terry Lynch, president of The Southland Companies, will speak on the topic “Is the Glass Half Empty or Half Full?” Social at 6, meeting at 6:30, with food and Boscos beer compliments of the brewery.
Free food? Wonder if the Nuh… WHOA! FREE BOSCOS BEER??? Never mind the Nuh-Uh Girl, wonder if I’LL show up!
While we’re on the topic of South Main… the CCC is inviting all South Main residents and stakeholders to a meeting to discuss streetscape improvements to the area. Specifically, the blocks of Main between Linden and St. Paul will be considered. Ritchie Smith Associates, the project consultant, will present preliminary designs, answer questions, and document your comments and concerns. Meeting will be Thursday, April 8, in the meeting room on the ground floor of Central Station (use the G.E. Patterson entrance).
This Is A Great Idea Dept: Today KFC announced that they will roll out a new sandwich, using pieces of chicken as the “bread.” What will be in the middle? Bacon, of course! And cheese and sauce. Yum yum… can’t wait to have one! I can hear my health guru groaning already. Here’s a USA Today article with more info.
Sign that I spend too much time at the bar: I just typed “And cheese and saucer” in the paragraph above. Glad I caught it before hitting Publish.
I didn’t know I could find any more reasons to hate Karl Rove, George W’s advisor, but I got one today. He was in Knoxville signing his new book, and he commented, “Any place where they play football and wear orange is fine by me.” That must mean he likes Texas too – wow TWO more reasons to hate Rove, now that I think about it. Maybe I should buy a copy of his book. Might come in handy, since I’m running low on toilet paper.
It’s Super Tuesday at Kooky Canuck, with their menu of 34 oz. mixed drinks on sale for only $5. Terry who bartends there posted on Facebook that a new Signature Cocktail will debut tonight. “It tastes like summer,” he wrote.
If you’re into opera and you work Downtown, head to the Main Street Mall in front of the Belz Museum at lunchtime tomorrow, April 7. At 12:00 Opera Memphis will perform a piece from Madame Butterfly. Show opens April 17.
Oh I cannot believe I have forgotten to mention this… CONGRATS TO THE RAPSCALLIONS ON FINDING THE EASTER KEG!!! It was a team effort. I kept up with the clues and figured out where the keg was located, Air Traffic Mike let us know when they put the keg out, Frank went and got it, and Clay brought it in. That won us a $100 bar tab, which we’ll probably throw in with the rest of our trivia winnings for our next party. That gives us $325 and we still have well over a month before any certificates expire. Go team! I want to break the five hundred mark for a party – we’ve come close but have not yet hit it.
Time to head to trivia and earn another 50 to throw into the party tab!
