Wait, so this “Memphis’ Most” poll the CA does lets you vote ONCE AN HOUR??? That is about the stupidest idea I have ever heard in my life. I mean, I could sit there and vote for myself for Best Blogger every hour, but would it mean anything if I won? What a waste of time and it shows you what happens when marketing departments have bad ideas. Apologies to my many friends Downtown who own restaurants, but I will NOT be voting for you in this farce of a survey. I’ll save my voting for the real deal, the Memphis Flyer’s Best of Memphis poll, where you can vote once, period.<\/p>\n
Those of you attending Sunset Symphony Saturday may want to stay up past the fireworks. There will be a meteor shower<\/a> that night. Best viewing is said to be about 2 AM Eastern, which would be 1 AM Central.<\/p>\n The Hungry Memphis blog has a post about Cafe Pontotoc<\/a>, a new restaurant that will open in the 314 S. Main space where Carrot failed last year. It will be a “neighborhood hangout,” according to the article, with small plates, a great wine list, and beer from local brewers.<\/p>\n BRIDGES is hiring<\/a> for a full-time AmeriCorps member and for internships.<\/p>\n Blues City Cafe invites all veterans to receive a complimentary meal on Veterans Day. Details here<\/a>. The restaurant does this annually and it is a fine gesture to the men and women who have served.<\/p>\n Also, veterans are invited to enjoy Memphis in May Sunset Symphony for free. Come to the north (Beale Street) gate and show valid military ID.<\/p>\n Since many of my readers are animal lovers, I’d like to pass on a link to Bluff City Bark<\/a>, the Mid-South’s new digital pet magazine.<\/p>\n Some advice on getting into BBQ team booths as a guest during the third week of May: It helps if you don’t act like a complete douchebag from the fourth week of May until the second week of May the next year. I swear. Some people. You just can’t fix stupid.<\/p>\n Huge announcement coming at 5 today, so check back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wait, so this “Memphis’ Most” poll the CA does lets you vote ONCE AN HOUR???
