I can’t resist starting off this post with a link shared by one of our BBQ team’s Yankees. In Beaver, Ohio, a suspected prostitute was arrested for allegedly soliciting an undercover officer, saying she would have sex with him for $50 and some nachos.

Downtown business owners: Do you need to repair sidewalks in front of your place? The DMC has a fund for that, providing interest-free loans of up to $5000, although most loans are expected to be in the neighborhood of $1000.

If you want to get out on Thanksgiving, either early in the day to eat or after 5 to drink, Holly has an ever-growing list that is worth bookmarking and checking again in a few days to see what has been added.
If you’ll still have family in town the day after Thanksgiving, November 25, Trolley Stop Market will be showing off its brand new brunch menu. There will be local eggs, breakfast plates, burritos and pizzas. Groups large and small are welcome and you can call 901-526-1361 for reservations.
That’s it for now. Probably back later today with Farmers Market news.
