The special at Local on Main today: Chili cheese fries with house-made chili<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, some guy is standing on the Main Street Mall selling COVID tests.<\/p>\n

I’d like to offer a reminder to those who walk the pedestrian Main Street Mall: MOST MEMPHIS DRIVERS ARE IDIOTS. Just because the driver at the intersection you’re crossing has a red light doesn’t mean they’re going to stop. Just because you’re in a well-marked crosswalk doesn’t mean they’re going to stop.<\/p>\n

Always be prepared to make a run for it, or a leap, or to stop in your tracks.<\/p>\n

Look, I’m not trying to imply that your life is not important. I’m just saying, to the driver of the lime green Infiniti with drive-out tags, your life is not as important as the Snapchat app on their phone.<\/p>\n

You can score some $9.01 tickets to the Grizzlies’ Wednesday, October 25 home opener by coming to their Plaza Party at FedExForum lunchtime Monday. Limit 2 tix per person while supplies last. El Mero, Frozen Spoon, MemPops, and Stickem food trucks will be at the party along with a live DJ and the Grizzlies’ Claw Crew.<\/p>\n

Harbor Town Pharmacy will be closed today. The business was burglarized<\/a> overnight. The back doors were smashed and more than $100 was taken from the register.<\/p>\n

AL.com has a position-by-position breakdown<\/a> of Saturday’s UAB vs. Memphis football game.<\/p>\n

All right, gonna go ahead and hit Publish so I can get the word out about this Local special. This is my second post today, so make sure you don’t miss the first one.<\/p>\n
