Thursday update

Programming note: My laptop’s trackpad is clearly going out. Once I finish this post, I’m going to have to get on Amazon and order a new computer. If you don’t hear from me on this blog for a few days, that’s what’s going on.

Never, ever, ever buy an HP laptop. They are trash.

From the CA: 7-story parking garage will hinder essence of Uptown and Greenlaw neighborhoods, written by residents of those neighborhoods. St. Jude is proposing to build a 7-story parking garage on the block of A.W. Willis between North Third and North Fourth, a block residents consider the heart of their community. The plan for Uptown indicates that a park would be desirable in that location. Residents point out that St. Jude owns plenty of land in The Pinch, a more urban area in which a 7-story parking garage would be a better fit.

Holly has started her annual What’s open on Thanksgiving? post on the I Love Memphis blog.

From Food & Wine: Arby’s is releasing two vodkas. One tastes like curly fries, the other like crinkle fries.

Also from Food & Wine: A Mariah Carey menu hits McDonald’s next month with 12 days of free food. From December 13 to 24, the menu gives customers a free item with a minimum $1 purchase through the McDonald’s app. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.

All right. This laptop is driving me nuts. I’m gonna call it a day. Back… sometime… with another post.
