Information on tomorrow’s concert in Court Square coming in a moment. But first, it’s time to roll out my new website:<\/p>\n

College Logo Jewelry<\/strong><\/a> sells earrings, pendants, bracelets, charms, rings, navel rings, and similar items for over 100 of the nation’s top colleges, including merchandise for the Memphis Tigers<\/a>, Arkansas Razorbacks<\/a>, Tennessee Volunteers<\/a>, Ole Miss Rebels<\/a>, and Arkansas State Red Wolves<\/a>. Like most of my recent sites, checkout and shipping is handled by Amazon.com<\/a> $\"\"$ , the Internet’s most trusted retailer, so you can rest easy that your purchase is secure and handled professionally.\u00a0 This is a sister site to my College Logo Watches<\/a> store, which has been doing very well lately.<\/p>\n

On to the news…<\/p>\n

This week’s installment of the Downtown Alive! concert series is the Latino Memphis Hispanic Heritage Fest in Court Square, tomorrow, September 24, from 4:30 to 8:30 PM. Music by Caribbean Sound starts at 5 PM, and there will be salsa lessons by Salsa Memphis. There will also be Aztec dancing. Vending will include margaritas and Mexican beers, the Crepe Maker, hot dogs, and tacos. They welcome picnics, blankets, and lawn chairs.\u00a0 With the Downtown Security Patrol around, there shouldn’t be a problem with bums bothering people like there was at last year’s Court Square concerts.<\/p>\n

A few days ago I mentioned the street vendors on the Main Street Mall near Court Square. Yesterday I received the CCC’s Downtown Developer newsletter, which says that outdoor vendors are encouraged, and the CCC rents facilities to set up to sell outdoors for as little as $38\/week when a yearly lease is signed. We’ve seen Hippie Geek out there in recent weeks; maybe we’ll see more vendors soon.<\/p>\n

Trivia tonight at the Saucer.\u00a0 The St. Jude team will be back to get their ass kicked again.\u00a0 Looking forward to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
