You know, I remember years ago, I was at an MPACT Memphis discussion, and we were asked to go around the room and say what we liked best about Memphis. One person said, &#8220;Well, this really isn&#8217;t a thing, but it&#8217;s the fact that Memphis has soul.&#8221; Exactly. The passport is a great way to experience that.<\/p>\n<p>Plans for today: Due to RiverArtsFest and Halloween, I&#8217;ve hardly been home the past two weekends, and my place transformed from an apartment into a dumpster as a result. I&#8217;m forcing myself to stay home and clean until it looks like a human being lives here. This evening, it will be time to watch some football. The LSU-Bama game and the South Carolina-Arkansas games are on at almost exactly the same time, which kind of sucks because I&#8217;m an Arkansas fan. The best place to see both games on TV at once would be Max&#8217;s, but it&#8217;s going to be super crowded and I don&#8217;t feel like dealing with that, and besides, they allow smoking and the place will stink to high heaven. So, Saucer will probably be my plan. I hope to get there around 5.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to CALL THOSE HOGS!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>City Market introduced weekend breakfasts starting today.
