Pizza special this week at the Silly Goose: Chorizo by Black Sheep Meats, Ro-tel, refried beans, pepper jack and cheddar cheese, onions, fresh\u00a0jalape\u00f1os, Valentina sour cream, and tortilla chip crumbles. Yummmm… I’m all about some refried beans on a pizza. This was delicious.<\/p>\n

A. Schwab, the dry-goods store on Beale Street with the old-fashioned soda fountain, is hiring. Apply inside during regular business hours. Random tip I got yesterday: They have really good hot dogs there.<\/p>\n

The Daily Memphian’s To-Do List has information on the equipment, vintage clothing, and furniture sale<\/a> happening this weekend at Paula & Raiford’s Disco. Paula wants to clean out some of the storage spaces at the disco, and one-of-a-kind items will be for sale. The sale will happen 10 AM to 6 PM today through Sunday. The disco is at 14 S. Second, between Madison and Monroe.<\/p>\n

Anheuser-Busch will give away free beer<\/a> if the U.S. hits a goal of\u00a0 70% of adults having had at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination by July 4. The payoff will come as a virtual debit card that can be used to purchase one Anheuser-Busch product up to $5 in value.<\/p>\n

The DM’s Drew Hill has an interesting column<\/a> about the Grizzlies’ 2021 offseason. A question that has been on my mind has been on Drew’s mind too. An NBA player is eligible for a contract extension 3 seasons after being drafted. That means Ja will be eligible in 2022 and there’s no doubt he will get a max extension. But what about Jaren, who’s eligible this year? Maxing him due to unproven superstar potential\/unproven ability to stay injury-free is a dangerous move; also, letting him walk is dangerous. (The Knicks are known to have interest; JJSr. works in their farm league.)<\/p>\n

In other basketball news, Duke’s legendary Coach K is stepping down<\/a> after this coming season.<\/p>\n

Bar Hustle in the Arrive Hotel (S. Main at Butler) has extended its hours and happy hours.<\/p>\n
