Fellow blogger Ryne Hancock has <a href=\"http:\/\/southerntimesgirlsandsports.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/21\/downtown-institution-nears-final-days\/\">more details about the closing<\/a> on his blog Southern Times, Girls and Sports.<\/p>\n<p>The intersection of Danny Thomas and Vance should be avoided for the next few days. Workers will be replacing a signal pole, and as they&#8217;re working, the traffic signal there will be a four-way stop. We all know how well Memphians understand four-way stops at flashing red lights (they don&#8217;t at all), so my best advice is to stay away from this intersection if you can help it.<\/p>\n<p>The Center City Commission has officially been rebranded the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.downtownmemphiscommission.com\/\">Downtown Memphis Commission<\/a>. Paul Morris can now say he runs DMC.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Thursday party night. Four big outdoor parties will be going on. The Third Thursday party is tonight at Main and Peabody Place. Tonya Dyson &amp; Green Onions, Soul Survivors, and Vic Reid Quartet will perform, with discounts and specials at restaurants and shops in the area. Free to the public, starts at 5:30.<\/p>\n<p>Free Sol with Black Rock Revival and Matt Nathanson are the featured entertainment atop the Peabody tonight. Buffet theme is Pan-Asian tonight, with egg rolls, Pad Thai, and pork fried rice. In VIP the buffet will have spicy cashew chicken, spring rolls and fried dumplings. $10 to get in includes first drink, ladies free until 7.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a VIP pass to the Peabody rooftop parties, there&#8217;s a pre-party for you in the Corner Bar from 5 to 6, with featured beer Michelob Ultra. You have to show your VIP card to get in.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also an after-party, open to the public, in the Corner Bar from 10 to 12, with music by Eric &#8220;Scrappie&#8221; Hughes and Guy Jr. VIP card-holders get two-for-one drinks at this party.<\/p>\n<p>Over at the Madison, rooftop party guests will enjoy funky rhythm &amp; blues with Elmo &amp; the Shades. Sophisticated drinks and distinctive tapas available. $7 to get in. Doors open at 5:30, sunset at 8:11.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, at Handy Park on Beale, Kix on Beale will have its final week of the year. Brantley Gilbert and Gloriana will perform, starting at 7:30. There will be a couple of after-parties, with Hollywood Disco hosting a beer bust and hottest cowgirl contest, and Rum Boogie having a Barenjager tasting at 10.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now. I&#8217;ll be out somewhere tonight.
