I have not yet made it to 99 Cent Soul Food Express at 414 South Main, but many of my friends have, and they have said the food is delicious and very reasonably priced, and the service outstanding. I found their menu on Facebook and here are a couple of links: Page 1 – Entrees Page 2 – Desserts Glad to see this new place make it, and I must get down there myself sometime soon. I want some neck bones!
If you need a reason to go down to 99 Cent Soul Food Express, I will give you one. The July South Main Association meeting happens at the restaurant Tuesday, July 12 with social at 6:00 and a presentation at 6:30.

Soulful bites will be provided by the restaurant, beverages by SMA. The event is free for SMA members and $10 for non-members.

Big, big, big night at AutoZone Park tomorrow, Saturday, July 9. It’s Christmas in July and all kinds of activities will be happening.

There will be an appearance by Santa along with Christmas-themed music, graphics, and activities throughout the game. After the game, there will be fireworks and game-worn Christmas-themed Redbirds jerseys will be auctioned off. There is a special ticket ($18 field box, $21 dugout) that includes a special Redbirds Nutcracker as a giveaway.

If the Redbirds score six runs, you’ll receive a 50% off Papa John’s coupon to order online the next day.
One of my favorite authors, Joe Navarro, has released an app. Navarro was a top FBI agent over a period of 25 years. Since retiring, he has written books about body language. His books not only cover clues to guilt or innocence, to lying or the truth, but he has teamed up with top poker players to write about “tells” at the poker table. Now he has released an app that will help you spot psychopaths including a 50-question checklist.
