One of the best ways to find out what’s going on in Downtown Memphis is to attend Paul Morris’ annual State of Downtown speech. Paul Morris, who runs DMC, will give the annual equivalent of the president’s State of the Union speech at the January South Main Association meeting. It will be next Tuesday, January 14, at Grawemeyer’s at 520 S. Main. 6:00 social, 6:30 meeting. Free for SMA members, $10 for non-members. There will be appetizers compliments of the restaurant and a cash bar.

Shout-out to everyone attending the rally to save AutoZone Park going on right now. Wish I could be there with you… wait, it’s 21 outside, maybe I don’t. They were serving free Cokes, hot chocolate, cookies, and hot dogs. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl showed up.
If nothing comes up, I’ll check out Cafe Keough tonight after work, after my plans to visit a week ago went off track.

Happy Tuesday everyone and go Grizzlies in tonight’s home game.
