Happy Friday! I spent Thursday evening at Earnestine & Hazel’s, as I often do. A couple of pieces of news about the haunted dive bar:
- They plan on adding dart boards (I think they said 3) upstairs
- They were phasing out Lay’s potato chips and phasing in Brim’s, in order to support a local brand
I picked up a restaurant tip last night. If you like soul food at The Four Way, try The Rockin Chair at 1542 Elvis Presley. My friends think it’s even better and Uber Eats will deliver it Downtown.
