Time for my weekly flip through the pages of the Memphis Flyer, where I spotlight stuff of interest to Downtowners.<\/p>\n
p. 4 and p. 38:\u00a0 I have two Downtown lunch days remaining before I start the new job.\u00a0 Trying to decide if I should spend one of them at Calvary’s Lenten Waffle Shop.\u00a0 The food sounds fantastic.\u00a0 Writer Stacey Greenberg recommends a waffle topped with peppermint ice cream, and that sure sounds like a winner.\u00a0 Also sounds like a good place to mingle with other Downtowners.\u00a0 How does it work though?\u00a0 I see they have a lunchtime preaching series.\u00a0 Do they preach at you while you eat?\u00a0 I’m not much of a churchgoer, although years ago when I was, I was an Episcopalian, which is Calvary’s denomination.<\/p>\n
p.9:\u00a0 Article about renovations at the National Civil Rights Museum.\u00a0 Several design firms are offering proposals.\u00a0 You can view them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n p. 12:\u00a0 Homes are available in Uptown Memphis.\u00a0 Great place to live, and they’re “green” homes so you save on utility bills.\u00a0 The one pictured lists for $99,900 – not a bad price for a starter home for a family that wants to be near Downtown.\u00a0 Visit UptownMemphisHomes.com<\/a> to see what they’ve got.<\/p>\n p. 31:\u00a0 Bardog is “quickly becoming your March hoops mania headquarters.”\u00a0 I haven’t watched any Tiger games there, but I’ve heard that Aldo has started putting the sound on for some of the games.\u00a0 Good move.\u00a0 You can turn the sound on for games without risking being labeled a “sports bar.”\u00a0 I’ve been leaning toward the Silly Goose and the Flying Saucer as my NCAA watch locations of choice, but maybe I’ll give Bardog a chance too.\u00a0 I always have a good time there.<\/p>\n I also see they’ll be starting their weekend brunch in mid-April.\u00a0 Hmmm looks like I’ll have another new place to try.<\/p>\n p. 32:\u00a0 Nope, absolutely nothing worth mentioning on this page.<\/p>\n p. 33:\u00a0 The Red Rooster is doing “March Basketball Craziness.”\u00a0 Half off all pizzas and $2 drafts before, during, and after all games.\u00a0 Wonder if they really mean ALL games, or just Tiger games?\u00a0 If you missed the Sunday crawfish boil at Orleans (or if you were there and want more), you can do the Friday one at the Rooster, 6-9 PM.<\/p>\n p. 41:\u00a0 The Saucer will tap a cask of Ghost River Wee Heavy Friday night.\u00a0 Time not listed but it’s usually 7 PM.\u00a0 Brewer Chuck Skypeck will be on hand.\u00a0 Hmmm interesting… the article also says that all Ghost River beers will be $2.75 on Thursday nights from now on.\u00a0 I like it!<\/p>\n p. 46:\u00a0 Automatic Slim’s is hiring cooks and waitstaff.\u00a0 If you’re a cook, this is an opportunity to work for one of the best chefs in town, Michael Patrick.\u00a0 He would be a great person to learn from.<\/p>\n Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar at Main and Monroe, in the old Stella location, is hiring too.\u00a0 I suspect that would be a pretty fun place to work, and when your shift ends Bardog is right down the street for an after-work cocktail.<\/p>\n In other news – get your Coach Cal mask here<\/a>.\u00a0 Thanks to Midtown blogger Ryan Jones<\/a> for the link.<\/p>\n Off to the Saucer to drink Happy Hour beer and play the Window Game.\u00a0 Beautiful 74 degree day – perfect for sitting in the window and watching the world go by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Time for my weekly flip through the pages of the Memphis Flyer, where I spotlight stuff of interest to Downtowners. p. 4 and p. 38:\u00a0 I have two Downtown lunch days remaining before I start the new job.\u00a0 Trying to decide if I should spend one of them at Calvary’s Lenten Waffle Shop.\u00a0 The food … Continue reading “A look at this week’s Memphis Flyer”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3399"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3399"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3401,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3399\/revisions\/3401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
