The Memphis Union Mission has told the men who stay there that effective Tuesday, July 15, everyone must pay regardless of what time they check in. Admission to the Mission, including lunch, dinner, a shower, a bed for the night, and breakfast the next morning had previously been free for those checking in before 10:30 AM. Now it\u2019s gonna be $6 for everyone.<\/p>\n
Monday, July 14 was originally planned to be the implementation date; however, they decided to wait until Tuesday because it\u2019s a day when both supervising pastors are in the office.<\/p>\n
As most of you are aware, I\u2019ve been staying at the Mission most nights the past year. I will probably stay out all night about half the time and pay the $6 cover charge the other half.<\/p>\n
I understand what the Mission is trying to accomplish with the new admission policy, but I believe it will have a side effect of increasing minor crimes like aggressive panhandling and disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n
Today is Cow Appreciation Day. I recommend you appreciate the part of the cow known as the filet at the Majestic Grille. The Porterhouse steak at Blues City Cafe is another way to appreciate cow.<\/p>\n
We’ve been watching bike courier races through NYC and San Francisco the past few Sundays at Bardog. Fun way to explore those cities.<\/p>\n
