I tried something I\u2019ve never done before Sunday morning – I \u201cchecked in for the day\u201d at 9:30 in the morning at the Union Mission. Normally I go Downtown in the morning and come back in time to beat the get-in-free deadline of 2 PM. What was different with my four-hours-earlier-than-usual checkin?<\/p>\n
So there are advantages to checking in early. Am I gonna start doing that regularly? HELL NO for 2 reasons:<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why there wasn\u2019t a blog post yesterday. Let\u2019s get on to the news.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Red sauce Italian restaurant Cocozza, which has enjoyed success on Mud Island, is opening a second location<\/a> on Yates Rd. in East Memphis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s also a new Maciel\u2019s, in Bartlett at 3108 N. Germantown Parkway. You can\u2019t go wrong with anything on the menu, but my rec would be the chorizo huarache.<\/span><\/p>\n Behind the Headlines takes a look<\/a> at the immersive \u201cRiver of Time\u201d exhibit being installed by artist Chris Reyes on Mud Island.<\/p>\n D.J. Jeffries, a former Memphis Tiger, will be on the Grizzlies\u2019 NBA Summer League team<\/a>.<\/p>\n Grind City Brewing will present the Downtown Memphis fireworks<\/a> on July 4. Doors open at 3 PM with food trucks Chi Phi, MemPops, El Mero Taco, and Champs BBQ. Drink specials. Live music 6-9 by Mike Hewlett & The Racket and others. $20 secured parking or park for free on the street at your own risk.<\/p>\n Today is International Chicken Wing Day<\/a>. I recommend the smoked wings at Central BBQ or Momma\u2019s.<\/p>\n The Redbirds host Nashville in a rare Monday game tonight at 7:05.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Wimbledon begins today. Watching I as I type this. Carlos Alcaraz versus an Estonian with weird hair. The Estonian is not gonna advance but he\u2019s surprisingly competitive.<\/span><\/p>\n The weather is beautiful today\u2026 it could easily be a stay-out-all-night day, but I don\u2019t have an agenda of stuff to write. I don\u2019t want to stay out without a to-do list, so back to the Mission I go around 1. \u00a0I should be back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n It\u2019s free to read this blog, but I gratefully accept tips!\u00a0<\/em> I tried something I\u2019ve never done before Sunday morning – I \u201cchecked in for the day\u201d at 9:30 in the morning at the Union Mission.
