The Memphis Daily News reports that a permit has been filed for a yogurt shop at 94 S. Main. That would be just south of Union, across the street from Local. Sounds good… a yogurt shop is one of the things missing in our Downtown neighborhood. DowntownMemphis.com posted on Facebook that it will be a Fro-Yo. Before the Nuh-Uh Girl e-mails to ask, no I don’t know if they’ll have a grand opening with free samples.

I’d like to propose legislation banning checkins to “Snowpocalypse 2011” on Foursquare and use of the #snOMG hashtag on Twitter until there is an inch of snow or half an inch of ice on the ground. Tweeting #snOMG when it’s 53 degrees out is kind of ridiculous.
I hate to miss the first night of the International Blues Challenge at the New Daisy, but it’s trivia night. After last week’s disaster – 2 points out of a possible 62 in the second round – it’s obvious our team needs all the help it can get. I’ll still have the rest of the week to enjoy IBC. Thinking about doing $10 wristband night (access to 19 clubs) tomorrow and Thursday.
Be safe and take it slow driving home this afternoon! It’s wet out there!
