So let’s say it’s a weekend night and you’ve been out dancing on Beale Street. Maybe you’re on your way out of The Shadows, or Club 152, or Alfred’s, or the newly-reopened Red Rooster. You’re hungry and want to grab some breakfast before going to bed. Up until now, your only nearby option was Denny’s at Third and Union. Trouble is, the food there is pretty lousy. It’s “better than nothing” food.<\/p>\n
Well, now you have a better option. Thursday night I met Mr. Anthony, owner of Lil’ Anthony’s Cafe at Fourth and Beale, and he told me that his restaurant will stay open “24\/24” on the weekends. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but friends of mine had and really loved the place. I hear they have the biggest biscuits in town. Maybe I’ll try it this weekend… hmmm maybe Sunday before Wine Race.<\/p>\n
I got to see the new Red Rooster too… a little smaller than the old space, but it has a very nice patio. I liked it. Whoever was in charge of hiring the bar staff did an excellent job. I’m going to be on Beale Street a lot more now that the Rooster is there.<\/p>\n
I didn’t got a whole lot of pics, but “Brian C” who is one of the writers of the Downtown Download blog<\/a> was there and I saw him snapping a lot of pics. I was told that another one of their bloggers, “Rebecca S,” was there too, but I’m not sure I know who she is.<\/p>\n Congratulations to the Nuh-Uh Sister for winning the Showcase on the Price is Right yesterday! About .01 second after it was over, the Nuh-Uh Girl tweeted, “So where are you taking me?”<\/p>\n Interesting note I saw online yesterday… Apple has passed Microsoft in market cap, meaning the total valuation of the company based on stock price times number of shares out. That’s remarkable. I used to own shares of both companies inside my Roth IRA. This would’ve been around 2001-2002. At the time, Microsoft was battling it out with GE for the US’s largest company with market caps around $250 billion. Apple was at a paltry $4 billion or so at the time. Now they’ve caught up.<\/p>\n Got my blinds open… couple more things to post this morning.\u00a0 Trying to decide if I want to cash in a round 2 ticket for a PokerStars freeroll at 9.\u00a0 Check back, more to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So let’s say it’s a weekend night and you’ve been out dancing on Beale Street.
