Clayborn Temple has announced more films in its schedule for the 15 Film Series. Thursday’s Film is Entre Nos, exploring a Colombian mother’s journey with her two children to Queens, New York, to be with her husband. However, her husband abandons her, leaving her and the kids to fend for themselves. Eventually she finds an unusual way to make money via the city’s recycling. The film is hosted by Midsouth Immigrant Advocacy, and was chosen to highlight the many struggles and obstacles immigrants face in the U.S. There will be a block party at 6 Thursday prior to the showing of the film.
The South Main Association has announced its August meeting on Tuesday, August 8 at The Front Porch, 251 Riverside Drive. Dorchelle Spence, vice-president of the Riverfront Development Corporation, will speak on topics including the natural beauty and resources of our riverfront. She will take questions as well. Light snack buffet from 6 to 7 PM, and a cash bar will be available. Free for SMA members, $10 for non-members.
Downtown Yoga posted that a new six-week introductory Ashtanga class begins Saturday, August 6 at 3 PM at a cost of $60. Only problem is, August 6 is not Saturday. If interested, call the studio and ask if the class is Saturday or Sunday. YOGA!
South Side Supper Club (the band, not a supper club) is back at Belle Tavern tonight from 7 to 10, as they are the first and third Tuesday of every month.
Saw this on Facebook: Best boyfriends according to zodiac signs. Ranked number one of the twelve signs: Scorpio! Yep we are awesome! Line forms to the left, ladies!
Neat thing I discovered recently: You can use Google StreetView to explore the Shelby Farms Greenline. This is excellent! Now I can travel the Greenline while sitting at the Blind Bear sipping on a PBR, without having to do all that running or biking!
Don’t forget that National Night Out is tonight at Front and G.E. Patterson. Free food and beverages, with donations to the MPD North Main Precinct appreciated. I may have to miss it due to a friend in town. I guess standing outside in near-90 degree temperatures and Pirtle’s Chicken would be as good as a “remember what you missed about Memphis” as anything, but she’d probably prefer something indoors. Outta here for now, back tomorrow with more news.
