Feelin’ Memphis has glasses for viewing Saturday’s solar eclipse. We will only see a partial eclipse here in Memphis; the full-on path for the eclipse will pass through Eugene, Oregon and Albuquerque, New Mexico. According to the DM<\/a>, the eclipse will be about 60% visible in Memphis at its peak, lasting from 10:32 AM to 1:35 PM.<\/p>\n Today is Ada Lovelace Day<\/a>. She is generally considered the world’s first computer programmer. She described practical uses for a general-purpose analytical engine<\/a> Charles Babbage invented in the 19th century.<\/p>\n As if nerds needed another reason to celebrate, it’s also Powers of Ten Day<\/a>. Whether 100, one million, or 0.00000001 is your favorite, enjoy.<\/p>\n And it’s Squid and Cuttlefish Day<\/a>. I recommend celebrating with calamari at Bardog, the Majestic, or the Fish.<\/p>\n Prayers for Father Dexter Noblefranca of Downtown’s St. Patrick’s Catholic Church… he was part of a group<\/a> on a pilgrimage to Israel. In Jerusalem, they heard what they thought were fireworks but later learned was Israel’s anti-missile defense system activating. Their trip, needless to say, has been cut short and they hope to travel home today.<\/p>\n Oh Sweets Skincare, a couple of doors down from Bardog on Monroe, will host a Barbie & Me Mix & Whip Party from 11 AM to 4 PM Thursday.<\/p>\n The CA has a look at the Downtown Memphis Commission’s plan to replace Paul Young<\/a>. Young, who was elected the next mayor of Memphis last week, is the DMC’s chief executive officer.<\/p>\n Downtown’s Hyatt Caption Hotel is hiring cooks<\/a>. 1-2 years of previous line experience, a culinary degree, and previous hotel experience are all pluses.<\/p>\n Soul & Spirits news:<\/p>\n To thank all of you for your support these past two years we are having a Year Two Anniversary Giveaway – we are giving 3 lucky winners some awesome Soul & Spirits swag and gift cards! $100 gift cards to all 3 winners plus 1 lucky winner will get a retro travel case record player with a record of your choice plus other rad S&S goods.

Thereafter it will be known as Memphis Art Museum.<\/p>\n Maciel’s will open a location at 3397 Summer<\/a> next spring. They want to be more of a taqueria at that location than the original Downtown one, with an increased number of tacos on the menu. The owner sees an opportunity to connect with Memphis’ large Hispanic community in the new location.<\/p>\n The Golden Girls<\/a> return to the Orpheum on March 28. Tickets go on sale this Friday.<\/p>\n There was a thread on Facebook yesterday about where to get soup in Memphis.

Everything in\/on\/around the bar has been moved or covered up and a temporary bar has been set up where the big poker table is. You can still sit at the main bar, in one of the 8 or so seats not in front of covered equipment – you’ll just have to get up and walk over to the temp bar to get a drink or order food. I think they said Wednesday is the target date for having the repair work done.<\/p>\n I do not yet have the list of specials the Blind Bear will run this week. I hope to publish an update late this afternoon listing them. I heard Tony was thinking about lasagna for this week, but I don’t have that confirmed.<\/p>\n Otherwise, that’ll do it for now. Back this afternoon or tomorrow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Momma’s, “the diner and dive off 55,” will be closed today for scheduled maintenance.
