The Memphis Grizzlies have released their full 2024-25 schedule. The Beale Street Bears site has some must-watch dates<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reminder: Momma\u2019s, \u201cthe diner and dive off 55,\u201d has its birthday party tomorrow. The fun starts at noon at Crump and Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Primus plays Grind City Brewing Tuesday night. Tickets<\/a> are $70-$210.<\/p>\n

The St. Jude Marathon needs volunteers<\/a> to help things run smoothly. Volunteer days are November 16-December 4. The race is always the first Saturday of December. This is a fabulous way to participate for those who don\u2019t run.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Farmer\u2019s Almanac, Memphis could have a cold and snowy winter coming up<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s National Kool-Aid Day<\/a>. Strawberry and cherry Kool-Aid are 2 of the 4 ingredients in a Call-a-Cab at Wet Willie\u2019s. (The others are ice and 190 PGA.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also National Rum Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Downtown Sheraton is hiring a senior event planning manager<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had a reader ask, \u201cYou showed us a pic of the food at the Union Mission on the best of the best nights, when a church brings a very generous food donation. How about showing us what dinner looks like on an average night?”<\/p>\n

Can do. There\u2019s rarely a church donor on Fridays, so it\u2019ll be whatever the Mission kitchen staff decides to cook. I\u2019ll try to remember to take a photo before I start eating and include it in my next post.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I\u2019ll make a prediction of what I\u2019ll find on my tray tonight:<\/p>\n
