Don’t let travel to and from Music Fest stress you out so bad that you lose your wig<\/em><\/p>\n

The Get Lifted shuttle is offering express rides from a central pickup point in the Downtown core, the Blind Bear speakeasy, to Music Fest and back. Rides are $10 each and will run from 1 hour before the first band to 1 hour after the last band. The Blind Bear is at 119 S. Main, on the Main Street Mall near Gayoso, next door to Muse clothing store.<\/p>\n

You can wait on the Blind Bear’s covered patio for the shuttle to pick you up, and grab a drink or a snack if you want. If you ride Get Lifted back Downtown from Music Fest, you’ll be given entry to the Blind Bear without paying a cover charge.<\/p>\n

Get Lifted is an outstanding local Black-owned business and the owner is a friend of mine. Let the shuttle be your ride to Music Fest.<\/p>\n

For years several of my friends have called for The Wing Guru to come Downtown. Well, they’re about to get their wish… sort of. The Guru is not building a brick-and-mortar location in Downtown’s boundaries. Rather, they will be a part of the Summer Avenue Food Hub<\/a> at 3237 Summer and the Food Hub delivers to Downtown and Midtown.<\/p>\n

Two other businesses are in the Food Hub as well: The Happy Belly, serving comfort food, and The Bougee Noodle, serving Japanese, Korean, and noodles.<\/p>\n

It’s South Main Trolley Night, with many of the businesses on and around South Main Street staying open until 9 or later this evening. Some may put out hors d’oeuvres and others may offer discounts or specials. Great opportunity to mingle with your neighbors – and this year you can do it without getting caught up in Music Fest traffic.<\/p>\n

The DM reports that The Inkwell<\/a>, the new cocktail bar in The Edge at 631 Madison, will open next Friday. Its hours will be 5 PM to 1 AM Wednesday through Sunday.<\/p>\n
