Today’s Groupon is a good one: $10 for $20 worth of food at Lunchbox Eats. This little restaurant, on Fourth just south of Linden, has become one of my favorite places. My favorite is the Third Period Smoking Birds sandwich, which is like a turducken in a sandwich. Mac & cheese is good too, and I’m not normally a big fan of mac & cheese. They’re open on Saturdays now too, until 7 PM I think.
The Greater Memphis Chamber will unveil a free public Wi-Fi spot outside the Falls Building. Tomorrow at 4:30 PM they’ll turn it on and Grizz the mascot will be there to hand out some Grizzlies merchandise. More details here.
Normally I don’t give a flying rat’s ass what PETA thinks, but I do think it’s pretty cool that they named AutoZone Park one of the top 10 ballparks for vegetarians. Congratulations to the park for making sure all its guests can get a good meal.
Speaking of baseball, here’s a link to a pic of Randy “Macho Man” Savage as a Cardinal. I believe this would have been taken around 1973, when “Mach,” then known by his given name Randy Poffo, played in the minor-league system. He never made it big in baseball, so he gave wrestling a try. Georgia wrestler/booker Ole Anderson told him Poffo was not a good name for someone “who wrestled like a savage,” and a new name was born.
I sure hope I arrive home tonight to a fixed air conditioning unit. Haven’t slept well all weekend because of the lack of A/C. I’ll be at Saucer for Pint Nite, but if I have A/C I may skip poker at the Goose this week and catch up on quality sleep.
