Join Mayor Wharton for “Out to Lunch on Beale Street” this Friday, January 31. At 11:30 AM the Mighty Souls Brass Band will promenade down Beale. At 11:45 the Grizzlies Claw Crew, Rockey Redbird, the Amurica photo booth, music and more will be at Handy Park. Join the mayor for lunch and rediscover America’s most iconic street.<\/p>\n

Follow @mmfa1784 on Twitter to learn which fire trucks are browned out each day. Today there’s just one browned-out truck, in South Memphis.<\/p>\n

Downtown is losing an auto repair shop. Madison Automotive at 440 Union will close at the end of this week. The shop’s Covington Pike location will remain open.<\/p>\n

Walking down Madison this morning, I noticed that the space formerly occupied by Jack Yacoubian Jewlers near Second Street is for lease. That block is starting to experience a comeback, with the Brass Door, Mad Earl, and Havana’s Pilon all thriving. Hopefully something good will go in there.<\/p>\n

Saw this on Facebook yesterday: Follow these tips and live hangover-free for the rest of your days<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw on Twitter that Tamp & Tap has a Nintendo 64. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n

The Flying Saucer has some new menu items, and I tried one yesterday: Queso fondue.<\/p>\n

You get your own pot of fondue, with ham, bratwurst, veggies, and pretzels to dip. This is a LOT of food! TWo people could easily split it and get plenty to eat.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Everybody keep warm; next two days are supposed to be bitter cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
