Jennifer Biggs of the DM has a look at Momma’s, the dive bar/trucker bar on Crump. Momma’s closed last spring when the I-40 bridge shut down; at the time traffic on Crump off the I-55 bridge was so heavy that people couldn’t even turn off Crump onto Kentucky Street. The interior has been renovated, a big kitchen has gone in, and there’s a new patio. Owner Aldo says it’ll be open soon but doesn’t have a firm date yet.
