Thursday update

In 2027, you’ll be able to post to social media that you’re hanging out Downtown with the bros at the ‘bro.

According to The Daily Memphian, Libro restaurant, the restaurant inside novel. bookstore out east, will open a second location inside Memphis Art Museum.

Quality “get.” Quality fit. A big win for Downtown.

USA vs. Turkiye, final group play match for both teams, 9 PM tonight, FOX.

NBA draft recap: The Grizzlies

  • Took Duke power forward Cam Boozer with the 3 pick. Bleacher Report gave the selection an A+. A player with a high floor and one you build a team around.
  • Traded the 16 pick for the 17 pick and two future second-round picks.
  • Traded the 17 pick for the 21 pick and three future second-round picks.
  • Took Mexican small forward Karim Lopez with the 21 pick. Said to be the type of player Zach Kleiman loves.
  • Traded three second-round picks for Detroit power forward/center Isaiah Stewart. Stewart recently got votes for Sixth Man of the Year.
  • Took BYU shooting guard Richie Saunders with the 32 pick. Saunders’ great-grandfather invented the Tater Tot.

“The Memphis Grizzlies may have won the NBA draft.” –Bleacher Report

Max’s Sports Bar and Huey’s made the 2026 Memphis Flyer list of late night eats.

Glad to see the City Council voted to fund improvements to AutoZone Park that’ll keep the Redbirds here in town. Some of the council members were being doo-doo heads about it a couple of weeks ago.

There’s a burger special at the Saucer with pimiento cheese, fried green tomatoes, slaw, and tomato jam. Gonna cash in the $15 gift certificate I won Tuesday at trivia to try it this afternoon. Back tomorrow with a Frupdate.
