If you love the food and the atmosphere at Pontotoc Lounge, you better get by there this weekend. It’ll be your last chance for a while.
We have had to make the very tough decision to temporarily shut our doors after this weekend until further notice. Would love to see your beautiful faces for one last round of 2020 libations, as we will miss you dearly. Please remember to support local and keep safe. ❤️
The Dirty Crow Inn has published its menu for this Sunday’s pop-up at 40 et 8 in West Memphis.
Many of us have plans this Sunday, but fear not – this will be a weekly thing until the Crow can open a new permanent location post-pandemic. Scroll back to my previous post for directions to the 40 et 8.

Yesterday I was reading a piece by one of my favorite writers on Medium, Sinem Günel, and she said something I found particularly profound: Schools do not exist to teach us how to be happy, healthy, and prosperous. Schools exist to teach us how to be servants to the system. That is so true. I promise you this: If I am able to achieve financial freedom through my writing, I will spend the rest of my life helping others find their unique individual path to get free as well.
Late start today! I didn’t get up until almost 5:20. Time to get things done. Back tomorrow with more news.
