Every ticket tonight includes a free hot dog, bag of chips, and a soda.<\/p>\n Starting July 1, Paula & Raiford’s Disco will add an R&B Night on Thursdays.<\/p>\n I just checked Weatherbug’s hourly forecast… the humidity is going to rise above the 90% mark by midnight. Yuck! The temperature will likely stay under 90 today, but the feels-like temperature will reach 300 or so.<\/p>\n Y’all. I’m hearing from numerous people that karaoke at the Blind Bear is really, really good. If you’ve read this blog for years, you know that I am not the biggest fan of karaoke in general, but apparently, this night is something really special. It’s hosted by DJ Superbrad and it happens every Wednesday at 9. I plan on going next Wednesday. NO I am not going to sing.<\/p>\n Check out this great piece on River Time Market & Deli<\/a> by local writer Jennifer Jones. Bill and Pam are two of the people who make Downtown the neighborhood it is. Their sandwiches and deli offerings are fantastic.<\/p>\n Did you know that you can watch the July 4 fireworks display from a kayak<\/a> in the Wolf River Harbor?<\/p>\n Comeback Coffee in The Pinch District is hiring a barista<\/a>.<\/p>\n Oh dear Lord: There’s going to be an announcement<\/a> about the removal of the Forrest remains today in Health Sciences Park. The announcement will include leaders of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.<\/p>\n From SI.com: Penny Hardaway is attracting attention<\/a> from NBA teams with head coaching vacancies.<\/p>\n Memphis Magazine has a tidbit<\/a> about Longshot’s new menu. Soy ginger chicken and a KFC (Korean fried chicken) sandwich are standouts.<\/p>\n The CA reports that Capsule<\/a>, a vintage clothing and shoe store, will soon open in the vacant space at 145 Madison.<\/p>\n In the same article, the CA reports that owners of 345 Madison (the old Stop 345 entertainment venue) are looking to turn the space into a restaurant. They’d ideally like to attract an established Memphis restaurant brand that does not yet have a Downtown presence.<\/p>\n StyleBlueprint has your updated guide to Harbor Town<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Artesian at 717 Riverside has new owners<\/a>, the CA reports.<\/p>\n Bass Pro is giving away 500 fishing rods<\/a> over the next 2 weeks to introduce kids to the joy of fishing. Kids can catch their first fish (and get a certificate commemorating it) right there in the store.<\/p>\n You know, once a fish has been caught 40 or 50 times and thrown back, you’d think it’d learn not to trust anything on a hook. Fish are stupid.<\/p>\n After work my plan is happy hour at the Silly Goose, a walk south (weather permitting) to catch the first hour of the Arkansas vs. NC State Super Regional<\/a> game at Max’s Sports Bar, then back north to Blind Bear to catch Pam & Terry (still not clear whether they’re playing indoors or on the patio; given the humidity I sure hope it’s indoors). Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n\n
