Tue update: Tube top dress pic, One Beale back on the table, Memphis BBQ book

Here’s a photo from the final night of Brewery Untapped. Misty wanted me to take a tube top dress photo for the blog. Actually, I had to take two photos because Misty said “I look hotter with my hair down.” This is the hair-down photo.

Just a couple of news items today. The Memphis Business Journal reports that plans for a giant tower at One Beale are back on the table. The plan for the tower called for a 30-story structure with office space, condos, and a hotel. A company in Memphis is in talks to pre-lease the office space, making the building a viable project once again.

My friend Craig David Meek’s book Memphis Barbecue: A Succulent History of Smoke, Sauce & Soul will be released next Tuesday, June 10, and there will be a launch party and signing at the Booksellers at Laurelwood at 6 that day. Downtowners who want to talk with Craig will have their chance on July 10, when he will appear at a signing and BBQ tasting at the Cotton Museum. The Memphis Flyer has more info. Be sure to check out his blog Memphis Que as well.

That’s it for now. If more news pops up between now and the end of the day I’ll do an evening post.
