They&#8217;ll be congratulating longtime blogger Holly Whitfield, who is leaving to become Digital Director at The Daily Memphian. They&#8217;ll also introduce the team that will be taking over content creation for that blog. RSVP is required. First 100 get two free drink tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grizzlies remain tied for first in the West following a victory over San Antonio last night. Next up is ANOTHER home game vs. the Spurs Wednesday night at 7. Well that&#8217;s just weird scheduling. Saves on travel costs I guess. If I get a chance, I&#8217;ll ask my TV producer friend if he knows why the NBA does that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Service industry friends: There&#8217;s a new website called <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/memphisfoodjobs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Memphis Food Jobs<\/a>.

There have been attempted robberies the past 3 nights: A guy on foot pointing out targets to two guys in cars, one a late 2000s black sedan. It&#8217;s an ideal area for that sort of thing: People are walking home\/back to their hotels from Downtown core\/Beale Street bars and there are no businesses open on that block where people would be keeping a watchful eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feast &amp; Graze will start doing a bottomless brunch February 19. $67 per adult, prepaid reservations only.
