If you have trouble understanding why the city wants to buy the Sheraton and replace its management, read this health inspection report. Remember, that is our convention center hotel and a first impression of Memphis for many.

MATA’s interim CEO says Downtown’s trolleys can be put back in service way more quickly, and at a much lower cost, than previous management indicated. Good. We want our steel wheeled trolleys back!!
Due to my hospital stay I missed weekend brunch at Bardog, but I heard there were some changes. For one, the bar is now completely nonsmoking, upstairs and down, during brunch hours of 11 to 3. Makes sense – when you have the city’s best bar food, might as well let patrons enjoy it without it being ruined by cigarette smoke.
As for the other changes, I’ll hold off discussing them until I experience them for myself – which I will Saturday and Sunday.
The Lobbyist will have a 5-course Heaven Hill Distillery cocktail tasting and dinner Thursday, August 21.
I’m being released from the hospital today so I gotta cut this post off and pack up.
