Requesting feedback from my readers: Occasionally I get asked,\u00a0where do I board my dog in Downtown Memphis?<\/strong> However, I am unqualified to answer, having never been a dog owner.<\/p>\n

I am aware of two such facilities:<\/p>\n

\n
RiverDog Inn<\/a> in the Downtown core on Court<\/li>\n
Mutt Island<\/a> in The Edge District on Monroe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Anyone tried both of these and have a preference? Are there other places I should mention? Let me know: paul.ryburn@gmail.com<\/p>\n
Tickets are now on sale for the Memphis Flyer’s 2026 Best of Memphis party<\/a> Wednesday, September 23 at Loflin Yard.<\/p>\n
In honor of the Ducks Unlimited expo in town this weekend: Play Duck Hunt online<\/a><\/p>\n
The four generations of The Arcade<\/a><\/p>\n
I’ve been told the chess tournament<\/a> coming Downtown Labor Day weekend is a BIG DEAL. It’s the Tennessee state championships, which Memphis gets only once every 4-5 years. Cash prizes awarded at all levels. Also cash prizes for top female, top junior, top senior, best upset, and brilliance. 80+ players expected including masters.<\/p>\n
Back tomorrow with a Frupdate.<\/p>\n
I gratefully accept tips:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
