Thursday update

This week I read that Cadillac has plans for a successor to its discontinued full-sized gas-powered XTS and CT6 sedans. The new car will be electric-powered and will be called Celestiq.

That has got to be the most ghetto car name I have ever heard.

Which means it’ll probably sell really well in Memphis.

Birdie’s will open at 9 AM today and Friday for your Masters viewing pleasure. Of course they will have sim golf available too.

Downtown ALDI has its grand opening this morning.

Not today, but next Thursday, April 17, Elmwood Cemetery will keep the grounds open late for Third Thursday. Free to the public. Free audio tours. Leashed dogs are welcome.

Apple is planning a major redesign for the iPhone’s 20th anniversary.

From Fadeaway World: Will the NBA give Ja Morant the Allen Iverson treatment if Morant doesn’t clean up his image?

Felicia Suzanne’s Restaurant reopens at 383 S. Main on April 15 and they are now taking reservations.

Hope MacGregor, Jess Ledbetter, and Matt Joyce play South Main Sounds Friday at 7.

Help paint planters in The Pinch this Saturday. Paint-by-numbers designs.

There will be egg hunts Saturday at 10 and noon for kids age 0-17 at the Fire Museum. Tickets are $10.

That’s it. Back tomorrow.
