I finally got the phone number from my friend Shun who operates “The Lifter,” a golf cart shuttle service that will take you wherever you need to go Downtown in a timely fashion. The number is 901-304-5449 and I would recommend you save it in your phone contacts for when you need it. Speedy as an Uber but you don’t need an app. No physical effort involved to get where you need to go, and no risk of injury as there is with some other forms of transportation.<\/p>\n

This is going to be a short news post, partly because I’ve already posted a recap of the Rendezvous’ 70th birthday party and partly because I suffered from equipment failure yesterday. My Lightning to USB cable I connect to my external charger broke, keeping me offline for a significant portion of the day.<\/p>\n

Enjoy live music by Jeffy & The Choosy Moms every Tuesday at the Silly Goose:<\/p>\n

A reminder to my readers: It’s convenient to leave what I call Taco Bell change in the center console of your car, but don’t do it. Taco Bell change is that extra change you leave in your car for when your order comes to $3.07. I used to do this all the time, probably having $5 in coins in my car at any given time. To you, that change may look like a Doritos Loco Taco, but to a crackhead, that change looks like a rock… a rock he’ll do anything to get. I bring this up because there have been car break-ins at Harbor Town<\/a> recently.<\/p>\n

Felicia Suzanne’s patio will be the site of the monthly Downtown Neighborhood Association meeting this coming Tuesday, July 24. You’ll get to hear the melodic voices of Opera Memphis, and there will be a presentation by Ned Canty of Opera Memphis and 30 Days of Opera.<\/p>\n

Ned Canty… sounds like he should be a Simpsons character, doesn’t it? Anyway, 5:30 social, 6:00 presentation, and if it rains the meeting will be moved to an indoor location. Free for DNA members, $10 for guests.<\/p>\n

First 1500 fans in AutoZone Park tonight get a Car-Scent Kelly air freshener courtesy of AutoZone. One lucky fan gets to roll the dice for the prize nobody seems to be able to win, currently at $70,000. $2 beers and entertainment in the Plaza before the game.<\/p>\n

As your #1 source of news and information about The Edge, I am pleased to link you to this Choose901 article about a Shab Chic pop-up shop<\/a> at 607 Monroe tomorrow from 11 AM to 5 PM. Shop the shipping containers while eating and networking.<\/p>\n

Enjoy some classic skating rink vibes at Summer Skate tonight at RiverPlay pop-up park on the river tonight at 7:30. There will be a skate trail and food trucks as well.<\/p>\n

Summer Movie Series: Selena<\/a> plays the Orpheum tonight at 7.<\/p>\n

WEEKEND! Having the Rendezvous’ birthday party and the Butcher Board Festival just days apart makes for a yummy July. Not much else to get excited about though. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
