The last Friday of every month, the shops in the South Main district open their doors from 6 to 9 for Trolley Night. Many stores offer hors d’oeuvres and wine, and some have specials and discounts. Here are a few pics from this month’s Trolley Night.<\/p>\n

Suzy was the best dressed in this stylish black tube top. Memphis weather being what it is, we still have another 6-7 weeks of tube top wearing season.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There was a poker run, where you could stop by South Main shops and pick up a playing card at each. Best poker hand formed with the cards won a gift bag. Allison Moody made a straight to claim the prize.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The theme was “Blue Hawaii” and many people who attended had on Hawaiian shirts in honor of The King.<\/p>\n

Many people vented their frustration that the lot next to the former Harry’s Detour, which had been used for cook-offs in the past, was blocked with yellow police tape by the owner. They were also sad to see that Harry’s deck had been torn down by the owner now that the restaurant had closed. I at first took part in the frustration and venting, but later in the evening I talked to someone involved with what will happen next to that property. He told me that the empty lot used to be the site of the former Arcade Hotel, and when it was torn down the ground was just filled in rather loosely, and although events have been successfully held there it is a legitimate hazard. He also told me that the deck was torn down because bigger, better things are envisioned.<\/p>\n

After Trolley Night ended, I hung out at Max’s Sports Bar and consumed enough PBRs that Michele had to call me a cab to get home. “10 South M… um, nevermind, just take me to Bardog,” I told the driver. One more PBR there and I called it a night.<\/p>\n

Next Trolley Night is Friday, September 30. If you’ve never been to one of these, you’re missing out on the fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
