No news post yesterday, and very little news today. It’s not that I’m ignoring my blog. It’s just that there isn’t all that much news out there. Have a look at the DowntownMemphis.com events page<\/a>, which is one of my sources of blog material. Normally you’d see 10-20 event listings per day. Now we’re seeing 2-4 listings per day and none at all for some days. New Year’s Day through St. Pat’s tends to be the slow season Downtown, except when there are Grizzlies or Tigers home games.<\/p>\n

One of the few things I have is some beer news. South of Beale will host a Yazoo Brew promo on Wednesday, January 16. They will have a limited supply of Yazoo barrel-aged Porter, and when you buy the beer you will be able to keep the glass.<\/p>\n

One other piece of South of Beale news: Every month, they donate a portion of their profits to a local charity. January’s charity is a good one: Door of Hope. From Door of Hope’s programs & services page<\/a>: “The Door of Hope works to end homelessness by helping our guests access whatever they need to reintegrate into the community: mental health benefits, addiction counseling, money management, food, friendship, activities, listening, support and caring.”<\/p>\n

Lots of jobs open at the Peabody<\/a> right now, including bell person, restaurant server, security officer, line cook, valet parker, and general maintenance.<\/p>\n

Also, Terminix is having a job fair today from 4 to 7.<\/a> They are looking to fill 40 positions.<\/p>\n

That’s all I’ve got for now. Maybe the volume of news will pick up as the weekend approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
