Requesting feedback from my readers: Occasionally I get asked, where do I board my dog in Downtown Memphis? However, I am unqualified to answer, having never been a dog owner.
I am aware of two such facilities:
- RiverDog Inn in the Downtown core on Court
- Mutt Island in The Edge District on Monroe
Anyone tried both of these and have a preference? Are there other places I should mention? Let me know: paul.ryburn@gmail.com
Tickets are now on sale for the Memphis Flyer’s 2026 Best of Memphis party Wednesday, September 23 at Loflin Yard.
In honor of the Ducks Unlimited expo in town this weekend: Play Duck Hunt online
The four generations of The Arcade
I’ve been told the chess tournament coming Downtown Labor Day weekend is a BIG DEAL. It’s the Tennessee state championships, which Memphis gets only once every 4-5 years. Cash prizes awarded at all levels. Also cash prizes for top female, top junior, top senior, best upset, and brilliance. 80+ players expected including masters.
Back tomorrow with a Frupdate.
