Blogging from the Second Street branch office, having just picked up and read through the Memphis Flyer’s “Best Of” issue. About two weeks ago, I received an e-mail from the Flyer informing me that my blog had placed in the “Best Of” category, and that I was invited to their yearly party. I assumed that meant that, like last year, there was no clear winner, and my blog was granted “Reader’s Choice” status as one of the top 5 vote getters.<\/p>\n
I was wrong. This year there was a clear winner.<\/p>\n
AND IT WAS ME!!!! I was stunned. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you to all my readers who voted for this blog. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. You can look forward to more drunk posts, photos of bums, Tube Top Month, and other, similar posts in the year to come.<\/p>\n
Other notes from this week’s Flyer:<\/p>\n
– The “Best place to meet singles” category is the most depressing thing I’ve ever seen. The top 3 vote-getters:<\/p>\n
1. Church
2. Online
3. Beale Street<\/p>\n
As a single guy living in Memphis, that makes me want to move to another city.<\/p>\n
– The cover features a hand holding a Best of Memphis 2007 trophy… that hand belongs to none other than Flying Saucer bartender AMANDA. She’s famous! Who knows, maybe she’ll leave the Saucer and pursue a new career as a hand model.<\/p>\n
– There’s an ad in the Flyer that says Court Square Center (the old Lincoln-American Tower) will be ready for move-in by the end of 2007, and they are now leasing apartments. More info: – Best Memphis Failure: First place, Mayor Willie Herenton. Well, they sure got that one right. Be sure to check out Bruce VanWyngarden’s editorial about the election on page 3, it’s really good.<\/p>\n That’s all for now… maybe I’ll do the Mayor Herenton post later this afternoon, but no guarantees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blogging from the Second Street branch office, having just picked up and read through the Memphis Flyer’s “Best Of” issue.
