Saturday update

The Grizzlies have their first preseason game TONIGHT! Well that sure snuck up on us. They’ll play a road game vs. the Milwakuee Bucks. The tip is 7 PM and it’ll be on Bally Sports Southeast. Grizzly Bear Blues has a preview.

The jukebox at Bardog is now working!!! Playing tunes on that machine soothes my soul.

YOGA! Fitness franchise YogaSix is coming to South Main, specifically 372 S. Main. They will offer six core classes: Y6 101, Y6 Restore, Y6 Slow Flow, Y6 Hot, Y6 Power, and Y6 Sculpt & Flow.

Today is International Day of Older Persons. I’m sure the people at the corner table at Max’s will celebrate the holiday with buckets of Miller Lite today, then they’ll probably walk down the street to South Main Sushi or Good Fortune Co. Their Vols are idle today but they still have Clemson to cheer for.

It’s also National Pumpkin Spice Day.

Happy 98th to former president Jimmy Carter.
