Are you a hockey fan, and in particular are you a fan of the Las Vegas Golden Knights? This week I discovered that there’s a Vegas Knights 901 group on Facebook. Tonight they are having a Game 3 Watch Party tonight at Max’s Sports Bar at 7 PM. The Golden Knights take on the Washington Capitals in the third game of the Stanley Cup finals. I’ve never been to Las Vegas but sure, I’ll root for them. The Washington Capitals need to change their name to the Washington Clowns to more accurately reflect who is in our capital city.
Elmwood Cemetery is having a Street Names Tour today at 1. Don’t worry about temps in the 90s because this will be in the air-conditioned chapel. Learn about the people behind the names of streets in Memphis. Snacks, beer, wine and soft drinks will be served.
Anyone else receiving an excessive amount of phone call spam these past few days? I sure have and it seems a lot of my Facebook friends agree. One of them told me that anyone on AT&T, using a compatible device, can get the AT&T Call Protect app for free and set it up to block well-known spam numbers. This won’t get all of them, I’m told, but it will reduce the number you receive by a good bit.
If you’re on Android, go to the Phone Dialer app, click the 3 dots, then Settings, then Caller ID & Spam, then select Filter Selected Spam Calls. As with the iPhone app, this will block many although not all.
The Harbor Town 3 Mile is tonight at 7:30. This was called the Harbor Town 5K in the past but technically the course is a bit shorter than 5K, so they changed the name. Run with views of the mighty Mississippi.
Babycreep is the featured vendor at Small Shop Saturday at the Ghost River taproom today from 12-4. Come drank you a burr while checking out some ceramics with creepy baby faces on them.
Minnesota Mike will host his No Curtain Call CD Release Party at Earnestine & Hazel’s tonight from 6 to 10.
Phillip Ashley, The TaKeOver, and MANE®️ host School Daze, an Old School College Party and Movie Night this afternoon at the Orpheum at 3.

As your #1 source of news and information about The Edge District, it is my pleasure to let you know about an event on Monday at 6:30 called Help Us Wonder. The founders of the new co-working space for artists and creatives at 340 Monroe want your ideas on what the new space should be exactly, what amenities are desired, what kinds of events should be on its programming calendar.
All right, we can’t make it through the week without at least one lunch food picture.
These are the Dan Dan Noodles from Noodles Asian Bistro and they are probably the best thing I have had there yet. The garlic soy sauce tastes great. As always, they ask if you want it spicy on a scale of 1, 2, or 3, and I asked for 3. I got it with shrimp but you can get chicken or beef as well. Next time I want to try this dish with the beef.
It’s Farmers Market time! I hope the ginger-lime popsicles are on sale there today. After the Market it will be a game-time decision whether to hit the south loop of my favorite spots or head back north. Back tomorrow with more news.
