A horse carriage threw two riders last night Downtown. A driver picked up two passengers near Main and Gayoso. After they boarded, the driver got one foot in the carriage when the horse took off. The driver chased after the horse and carriage but the horse sped away. It turned onto Beale and then Second, going the wrong way on Second, throwing one passenger at Peabody Place and the other at Union.
Sad to hear of the death of a Memphis wrestling legend. Brickhouse Brown passed away yesterday at age 57 following a long battle with prostate cancer.
I was at Bardog Tavern yesterday as details of the Breakaway Bardog 5K and Monroe Avenue Festival were being planned. Less than a month away – Sunday, August 19, 2018. I got some good news from Melissa. They’re going to have misters this year to help keep festival attendees cool.
Primas Bakery and Boutique, the new shop at 523 South Main, will have a preview party next Friday 5-9 PM for South Main Trolley Night next Friday.
Taking the kids to the Redbirds tonight? You’ll want to get there early, because the first 700 kids 12 and under get a pack of Topps baseball cards. Plus, you won’t mind being there early with $2 beers in the Plaza before the game. Gates at 5, first pitch 6:35. There’s an Aldo’s Pizza specialty ticket you can purchase. As is the case every Saturday there will be fireworks after the game.
I tried the Turkey Burger from the Silly Goose for the first time last night.
I didn’t expect much from a turkey burger but the taste was outstanding. It’s topped with pepper jack, jalapeno pesto, lettuce, and tomato. It comes with a nice side salad too. At $9 this is an excellent value.
That’ll do it for now. Time to get out and about. Back tomorrow.
