Mon update: Town hall meeting, salon/day spa opening on Beale, LunchboxEATS, iPhone battery life

The City of Memphis will hold a Town Hall meeting Downtown this Wednesday, March 21. Meeting will be in the first floor auditorium of MLGW, 220 S. Main. Town hall meetings are a place for discussion between government and citizens. The meeting will be facilitated by George Little, the city’s Chief Administrative Officer. His office handles neighborhood services, employee services, youth services and business services. This is your chance to connect directly with city government, so come with your questions and concerns.

The Memphis Business Journal reports that a new salon and day spa will open on Beale. It will be called Kingdom Kreations, and it will occupy the second-floor space above Alfred’s.

The Memphis Flyer posted a yummy photo of LunchboxEATS pineapple upside-down cake. Remember that LunchboxEATS, normally a lunch-only place, stays open late the evenings of Grizzlies games, giving those who don’t work Downtown a chance to try their food.

The Wirecutter reviewed the best iPhone battery cases. These are cases that are also a spare battery, that recharge your iPhone to extend its battery life by up to 100% longer. I’d always heard Mophie made the best cases, but the review indicates that the PhoneSuit Elite has taken the lead. Read the review here.

In other iPhone news, free, ad-supported apps kill your phone’s battery. If there’s a paid version of your favorite app, might be worth upgrading to preserve battery life.

Time for beer. Saucer is my first stop of the evening, for Pint Nite with most drafts $3. I’m 50/50 on whether I’ll play the 7:30 poker game at the Silly Goose.
