This is gonna be a super-quick one. A couple of rumors I heard while hanging out on my rooftop last night:<\/p>\n
– The old Empire Coffee location at Madison and Main is apparently being converted into a shoe store. Hope they don’t cover the ceiling.<\/p>\n
– I also heard that the people renovating the Lincoln-American Tower expect to have people moving in about 9 months from now, and there may be a Starbucks in the building.<\/p>\n
I haven’t confirmed either of these (what do I look like, a real journalist?) so if you have any more info let me know.<\/p>\n
Also, I read in the Commercial Appeal this morning that there will be a Music Fest after-party at Handy Park (Third at Beale) from 8 PM to 1:30 AM Friday and Saturday nights. I’m definitely going to be there Saturday, because a group I’ve been wanting to hear for a long time will perform – Lord T and Eloise<\/a>. Several of my friends have told me I must see them, that they’re developing a cult following here in Memphis… apparently it’s a couple of rich, aristocratic Memphis University School grads who do hardcore rap. If anyone knows exactly what time they’re playing Saturday let me know.<\/p>\n And that’ll do it for now. Much more to come, when I get some time to post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is gonna be a super-quick one.
