The Effin&#8217; Memphis blog has a great post <a href=\"http:\/\/effinmemphis.blogspot.com\/2013\/03\/remembering-di-anne-price.html\">remembering Di Anne Price<\/a>. Rest in peace, Diane, you made Downtown a welcoming place.<\/p>\n<p>In more recent years, Di Anne had been performing at Mollie Fontaine Lounge. There will be a gathering of her &#8220;babies&#8221; at 8 PM tonight to remember her.<\/p>\n<p>Blues City Thrift opens tomorrow at 6685 Quince, Suite 110. That&#8217;s not a Downtown address but Downtowners have been involved in making this happen the past three years.
