The Memphis Police Department has launched a really cool new real-time crime tracking site.\u00a0 On it you can watch a ticker detailing the most recent crimes committed around town, see a map organized by crime type of the last 50 crimes committed, check criminal records, and do a lot of other cool stuff.\u00a0 Here’s a link<\/a> to the new site.<\/p>\n

The latest rumor I’m hearing about the Downtown Blue Monkey is that it may open Friday.\u00a0 This is second-hand information, so don’t go and plan your whole weekend around it.\u00a0 They’ve given us plenty of target opening dates before and missed them.\u00a0 If it does open Friday, I won’t be able to check the place out before Sunday due to BBQ Fest.<\/p>\n

There will be opera in Felicia Suzanne’s courtyard today at 11:45 as part of the CCC’s Downtown Alive! program.\u00a0 Felicia’s will have box lunches for sale for $8, or you can BYOF.<\/p>\n

Also, the Downtown Alive! program will present a 30-minute walking tour of the Mississippi by Jimmy Ogle at lunchtime Tuesday.\u00a0 Meet at 11:45 at Confederate Park, on Front between Court and Jefferson.\u00a0 Learn how Memphis evolved from the Mississippi River, and the impact it has on our city.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, there will be a line dancing workshop at the Cossitt Library at Front and Monroe.\u00a0 Learn the Cha Cha, the Cuban Shuffle, the Electric Slide, and the Cha Cha Shuffle.\u00a0 There’s no time listed, so call 526-1712 for more details.<\/p>\n

Exhausted from a big weekend… walked down to Tom Lee Park and took some pics of the BBQ team building the booth, as the start of the 2008 BBQ Fest photo album.\u00a0 After that walked up Second, ate at the Flying Fish, and realized I was DONE for the day at 5:30 PM.\u00a0 Allergies were killing me and I was dead tired.\u00a0 So I came home hours earlier than usual, having never made it to Itta Bena and Calhoun’s as planned.<\/p>\n

3-day week for me at work due to BBQ Fest.\u00a0 Time to get it started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
