Yesterday I watched the first annual Pet Parade up the Main Street Mall, starting at One Commerce Square and ending at Court Square. Afterward I wandered up to The Barking Lot, the new dog walking park at Main and Jefferson.<\/p>\n

Fuel Cafe’s food truck parked in the space in the Barking Lot reserved for food trucks.<\/p>\n

Full photo album (27 pics) here<\/a>. Quite a few dogs and children came out for the parade. I wondered if anyone would try to bring a cat, but I didn’t see any. The Barking Lot is a really neat concept. I hope the parking area will attract more food trucks Downtown.<\/p>\n

After the parade I stopped at the Saucer for a couple of beers, then walked down to Beale Street where I ate at Johnny G’s Creole Kitchen. I’ll have a food post about my meal there later today.<\/p>\n

The Memphis Tigers host the Murray State Racers today at 5 PM at the FedExForum. That should draw a good crowd Downtown this Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

I found a new use for my Kindle Fire this morning. I’m watching full episodes of Beavis and Butt-head<\/a> on it. Can’t nobody tell me the purchase of the Fire wasn’t money well spent!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
