We&#8217;ll be up there again this Sunday.  Come early if you want a seat at the bar &#8211; the crowd continues to grow and we just about had all the bar seats filled up by noon.<\/p>\n<p>Another place which we&#8217;re making a home is the Russwood Park Grill, the bar\/restaurant on the ground floor of the Holiday Inn Select across from the Peabody.  I never, ever thought I&#8217;d see the day when Downtowners would be hanging out at a hotel bar, but management is doing everything right.  When Sleep Out&#8217;s closed they hired Frenchie, knowing he&#8217;d bring in all the regulars, and they&#8217;re making other improvements to the place to make us feel at home.  They even counted the number of steps from Sleep Out&#8217;s front door to theirs (300).<\/p>\n<p>Gotta get out of here&#8230; my mother isn&#8217;t feeling well so I&#8217;m going to run over to Little Rock to take care of her.  Should be back tomorrow night.  There&#8217;s Internet access there, so it&#8217;s possible that I&#8217;ll be blogging from the road.  See you this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are a few pics from last Sunday&#8217;s brunch at the Majestic Grille: This was what I had &#8211; the Andouille sausage and cheddar cheese frittata.
