Sara Payne will be this week\u2019s artist. Noon-2 pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few people have asked when I\u2019m gonna publish that guest-centric Memphis Union Mission FAQ I mentioned last week. I still intend to, but I feel like my knowledge about the place is as of yet incomplete. I feel like I\u2019m still learning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, I learned you can stay by the month rather than by the night if you so choose. The fee is $186\/month, which works out to the $6 nightly fee times 31 days. Monthly people get the same bed every night, their own private locker, and a few other perks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally am not inclined to pony up the 186, given that I get to the Mission before 2 pm most days and get in free. Now, if they threw in complimentary Wi-Fi as one of the perks of paying monthly\u2026 well, then I would have to seriously consider it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it for now. Thanks for sticking with me. Back tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Readers\u2019 generosity helps keep this blog afloat.
