The party is from 11 AM to 7 PM (but the bar opens at 9 AM) Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>I saw them wheeling in cases of PBR cans this morning, a sign they&#8217;ll have the world&#8217;s best beer on sale outside at the party. Normally Bardog sells PBR in pint glasses.<\/p>\n<p>The DM quoted Mayor Young this morning on the upcoming National Guard deployment to Memphis: They won&#8217;t be detaining people; they will simply be additional eyes and ears on the streets to deter crime. That is great news.<\/p>\n<p>Today is Park(ing) Day. Public parking spaces on Peabody Place have been converted to mini-parks.
