I did not go out for brunch yesterday, but about 12:20 I took a walk around Downtown. There was a line of at least 40 people waiting to get into Sage! I knew a line developed right at 11 right when they opened, but I had no idea it persisted throughout the day! Good for them. It’s fantastic to see a great local business thrive post-pandemic regulations. Maybe I’ll have to grab lunch at Sage one day this week, although it looks like I need to figure out when the place is not busy.<\/p>\n
Things on the MemphisWeather.net blog<\/a> look good for this week. We’re finally going to get a break from the rain, and our air conditioners will be happy to hear we’re going to get a break from the humidity as well. After a weekend of dewpoints in the 75-80 range, they’re going to drop into the 60s and maybe even the 50s by midweek. That’ll make being outside downright pleasant.<\/p>\n In yesterday’s blog, I mentioned that on Thursday, July 1, the Blind Bear would have a drag show hosted by Holly Walnutz. That’s not all that will happen at the Bear that evening. At 9:30 PM they will have Drag Bingo hosted by Pattie O’ Furniture<\/a>. You’ve seen Pattie host bingo at Downtown spots like Oshi and Atomic Rose. Now you can catch her at the Bear!<\/p>\n From the DM: Mud Island renovations hit supply chain problems, cash delays.<\/a> The city is waiting on $4 million in funding to renovate the amphitheater. City Council member Martavius Jones proposed emergency funding to get the monorail running again, but it was voted down 1-10.<\/p>\n Interesting read: The tyranny of time<\/a><\/p>\n It’s Flag Day, National Bourbon Day, and the Trumpster’s 75th birthday.<\/p>\n The Memphis Railroad & Trolley Museum in Central Station has reopened<\/a>.<\/p>\n
