Now that the application for Google Fiber has been submitted, Google is inviting everyone to go to the Google Fiber website and vote in the poll. Everyone please go there and vote for Memphis! You can vote once a day for the next 30 days – well, next 29 actually, because the poll started yesterday.
I received the Circa e-mail newsletter this morning, and in it was a note that the Main-Peabody Place monthly block parties will return Thursday, April 15! There are many award-winning restaurants and businesses on that block, and they team up to throw a party the third Thursday of the month when the weather’s nice. Parties are early (5:30-7:30) so you have plenty of time to hit the Peabody or Madison rooftop parties as well.
If you’re into wine, you’ll definitely want to stop by Circa at the block party. Select Reserve List wines, normally $80-120, will be 50% off. The 15th is the only night this special will be available. Chef John Bragg will be grilling on the patio with complimentary appetizers (free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up), and they’ll have $4 French Ice Picks in souvenir Circa stadium cups.
The e-mail newsletter also listed new additions to the menu, including Pan Roasted Halibut with Potato-Crab “Crush” and Roasted Pepper Coulis. Hey Air Traffic Mike, the halibut made it! If you’re not on their e-mail list, you also missed out on several more menu announcements, a wine dinner announcement, and a chance to win dinner for 2. Go to their website to sign up.
If you’re into Memphis history, set the DVR to record WKNO-TV Thursday night, April 22, at 9 PM. A new film called Citizens Not Subjects will discuss Boss Crump’s rule of Memphis, and how three people dared challenge him.
That’s all for now… not sure if I’ll go out tonight or not… I’ll see how the weather’s looking when I get home.
