The St. Jude Marathon is this Saturday, December 1. That means the streets of Downtown and Midtown will be clogged with runners in the morning and early afternoon. Action News 5 has a list of streets on which you can expect traffic delays<\/a>, and at what times.<\/p>\n

Saturday is also the 8th annual Bob & Roland’s Stumbling Santa pub crawl<\/a>, where participants dress up as Santa and stumble around the Flying Saucer and Beale Street. The MemphisWeather.net forecast<\/a> has a high of 69 (other sources are going as high as 74) and a low only in the mid-50s that day. Yikes, that’s going to be kind of warm for Santa suits. Bring a toy to the first stop, the Flying Saucer (7 PM), for Porter-Leath (stuffed animals not allowed for health reasons). The stops after the Saucer are a secret this year, but I got a sneak peek last night on the condition that I don’t post the list to my blog or social media. I’ll say that it’s a pretty good lineup, and the Saucer is probably the smallest venue on the list. Since 700 Santas are expected, that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n

Mayor Wharton will re-open Madison Avenue Downtown at 1 PM today. It’s been partly blocked since March 2011 due to a building collapse.<\/p>\n

Beer news: Archaeologists have discovered a 3500 year old microbrewery in western Cyprus.<\/a> I wonder if 21st century brewers will attempt to re-create the recipe, as Dogfish Head did with Midas Touch?<\/p>\n

Tigers vs. UT Martin at 7 PM at FedExForum. Tarik Black will not be playing tonight. I hope we don’t lose again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
