The St. Louis Cardinals, parent team of the Memphis Redbirds, have made the MLB playoffs. They play Philadelphia in a best-of-three series beginning Friday. Friday’s game will be on ABC at 1 PM. I plan to be at Local on Main at that time and I’ll have them put it on one of their TVs.
Speaking of Local, I was in there yesterday and someone ordered the grilled cheese. “You can add whatever you want,” co-owner Tim told the customer. “Turkey? We can do that. Bacon. Onions. Broccoli. You name it. If you see it anywhere on the menu, we can add it.” Very cool. You can even get it with a side of Buffalo sauce for dipping.
Also at Local, bartender Jessica discovered they have Jenga, although it’s regular-sized, not Giant Jenga like her former employer had. “This one is even harder than the big one,” Jess commented.
“That’s what she said,” I replied.

New Wing Order announced its October special wing flavor yesterday:
As we enter spooky season, the October Wings of the Month are Loco Wings! The mad Dr. Tommy Wayne created this tasty concoction of fresh ginger, “chili crisp” sauce, Ponzu soy sauce, and Sambal Oelek. It has a sweet profile but will hit electrify every taste bud in your mouth! Get some 4:00-9:00 today at the restaurant (341 Beale). The Ghost River Brewing Co. taproom and beer garden open until 11:00pm
Memphis Animal Services is hiring an Animal Care Technician. (Sorry, forgot to copy the link)
The DM’s Geoff Calkins thinks the Big 12 made a mistake picking Houston over Memphis. I do too.
From WREG: Downtown water main break has dragged on for days. That’s why Bardog opened late Saturday. Bardog got back open but Flight and Bogie’s Deli had to stay closed for several days.
That’s it for today. Get out there and enjoy this BEAUTIFUL weather!
