Tuesday update

The South Main Association has its monthly South Main Social 6-8 tonight at Stock&Belle, 387 S. Main. Association vice-president Mark Louderback will speak and will have an opportunity for you to get involved in SMA. Food, drinks, meet your neighbors. Free for SMA members, $20 for non-members.

I have more information on what will happen at Bardog’s 17th anniversary alley party Sunday, September 21:

  • Raffles for fabulous prizes
  • Beer trucks
  • Swag and giveaways
  • Live music by Andy Jones and Austin Varner
  • Rowdy and the Strays
  • DJ BLKMR

BLKMR is a man who wears many hats. Not only is he a professional DJ, but most Sunday mornings for brunch, he can be found behind Bardog’s bar with Hannah Banana. He can also write a hell of a Python script – or ask AI to write a script on which he puts the finishing touches.

Let’s have a look at this weekend’s college football games of interest to Memphians:

Saturday

  • Wisconsin at 19 Alabama, 11:00 AM, ABC
  • Memphis at Troy, 11:00 AM, ESPNU
  • South Alabama at Auburn, 11:45 AM, SEC Network
  • 6 Georgia at 15 Tennessee, 2:30 PM, ABC
  • 14 Iowa State at Arkansas State, 3:00 PM, ESPN2
  • 18 South Florida at 5 Miami, 3:30 PM, CW Network
  • Alcorn State at Mississippi State, 5:00 PM, SEC Network
  • Arkansas at 17 Ole Miss, 6:00 PM, ESPN
  • Florida at 3 LSU, 6:30 PM, ABC
  • 16 Texas A&M at 8 Notre Dame, 6:30 PM, NBC/Peacock

Speed cameras are coming to Memphis but none of them will be Downtown. It’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer if you receive a traffic ticket from an automated source.

There’s a Smart Rivers convention at the Renasant this week.

Andy Squyres will tell stories by way of song at Visible Music College Friday night.

The Magic of Memphis: Magician Michael Clayton performs at the Peabody Saturday night. Special guest magician Kim Edmonds.

There will be a Tchaikovsky violin concerto at the Cannon Center Saturday.

Back tomorrow with more news.
