The Redbirds beat Omaha last night<\/a> to tie up their best-of-five playoff series at 1-1. That means there will definitely be a Game 4, which will happen Saturday at 7:05 with Grizzlies center Kosta Koufos throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. Game 3 is tonight at 7:05 with Josh Pastner throwing out the first pitch.<\/p>\n

Save the date: High Cotton Brewing will host an Oktoberfest celebration on Saturday, October 4, at its taproom at 598 Monroe. The event will last from noon to 7 PM and will benefit Grow Memphis. It is sponsored by Memphis Flyer and Holliday Flowers.<\/p>\n

Speaking of beer, the Memphis Business Journal reports that the Midtown Aldo’s Pizza Pies will carry an exclusive Aldo’s beer by Memphis Made Brewing Co.<\/a> when the new pizzeria opens in Mid-October. Memphis Made’s brewery is down the street on South Cooper from the new Aldo’s location. I wonder if Downtown Aldo’s will get the exclusive beer too?<\/p>\n

Old Crow Medicine Show has been announced for a Saturday, November 15 show at the Orpheum. Tickets go on sale next Friday.<\/p>\n

Worth a cab ride to Midtown: The Wiles-Smith drugstore is closing soon.<\/a> This store at 1635 Union has an old-fashioned soda fountain like the one your grandmother went to. The soda fountain will be shut down in a few months. If you’ve never been to one of these, you should go while you have the chance.<\/p>\n

The developer of 100 N. Main is facing a lawsuit<\/a> in the revamp of that building, the tallest one in Memphis. Based on things I have heard I am not overly surprised to read this.<\/p>\n

My friend Angela Copeland’s weekly column in the Daily News resonates with me because it’s what I did when job-hunting six years ago: Take the job that feels like the right fit, not necessarily the first one that is offered.<\/a> I turned down a few before finding the one that felt right. Trust your intuition.<\/p>\n

SO ready for the weekend and it is only hours away. I am ready for beer and Fireball and will be out about 5:30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
