I went to that Breakfast for the Homeless 2 event in Court Square yesterday and came away with a Styrofoam box filled with
Fruit
Eggs
Breakfast potatoes
Sausage
Bacon
Fish
Bread pudding
Chocolate chip muffin
M&M cookie
They offered waffles and pancakes too. I turned those down because I figured the syrup would be a mess. It was a $15 plate of food easily. They were also handing out clothing and hygiene items, but I didn’t take any. They had 4 barber chairs and were giving out haircuts too.
If any of the organizers are reading this, thank you for breakfast. It was delicious!
I talked to someone who attends St. Patrick’s Catholic Church at Ida B. Wells Street and MLK Jr. Avenue. He said that yes, they do have a community outreach center that runs a foot clinic once a month. He said that about 15 to 20 homeless people attend mass there each Sunday.
What a bloodbath that Notre Dame-Arkansas game was. I wonder if Bobby Petrino will be back at the helm of Arkansas by the middle of the week. After all, hasn’t that been the plan all along? Wait for Sam Pittman to stumble and then reinstall Petrino. I’m down with it, provided Bobby stays off motorcycles.
Why would an SEC team put Notre Dame on the schedule anyway? When you know you’re going to be facing at least some of Alabama, Georgia, Texas, LSU, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M, why would you add a nonconference team that’s traditionally been in the top 10 to your schedule?
Halloween is on Friday of this year. That’s probably a bad thing for bars because they won’t have a Saturday before Halloween or a Saturday that is Halloween to throw parties.
Get ready to get down with some transvestites from Transylvania and the original Brad Majors – Barry Bostwick – as the Orpheum hosts a Rocky Horror Picture Show 50th anniversary celebration Friday night. I’ve been to the Orpheum for Rocky Horror and let me tell you, it is a blast that would make Lloyd T. Binford turn over in his grave. Audience participation is encouraged.
