The Memphis Grizzlies have released their full 2024-25 schedule. The Beale Street Bears site has some must-watch dates.
Reminder: Momma’s, “the diner and dive off 55,” has its birthday party tomorrow. The fun starts at noon at Crump and Kentucky.
Primus plays Grind City Brewing Tuesday night. Tickets are $70-$210.
The St. Jude Marathon needs volunteers to help things run smoothly. Volunteer days are November 16-December 4. The race is always the first Saturday of December. This is a fabulous way to participate for those who don’t run.
According to the Farmer’s Almanac, Memphis could have a cold and snowy winter coming up.
It’s National Kool-Aid Day. Strawberry and cherry Kool-Aid are 2 of the 4 ingredients in a Call-a-Cab at Wet Willie’s. (The others are ice and 190 PGA.)
It’s also National Rum Day.
The Downtown Sheraton is hiring a senior event planning manager.
I had a reader ask, “You showed us a pic of the food at the Union Mission on the best of the best nights, when a church brings a very generous food donation. How about showing us what dinner looks like on an average night?”
Can do. There’s rarely a church donor on Fridays, so it’ll be whatever the Mission kitchen staff decides to cook. I’ll try to remember to take a photo before I start eating and include it in my next post.
In the meantime, I’ll make a prediction of what I’ll find on my tray tonight:
- chicken & dumplings
- black beans
- peaches &. pears medley
- bread
- a glazed donut
Not sure if I’ll have time to post tomorrow, but I’ll be back soon.
It’s free to read this blog, but I gratefully accept tips!
