Had some delicious chicken tenders, drank a bit, made TheoGeo give me this crazed look:
Overall a good night. Also apparently some people from Three Six Mafia were there, but I forgot to give a fuck. Strange memories on a nervous night. Time to finish my rum and try to sleep.
Talk about feel-good legislation at it’s finest. For those that don’t know what I’m talking about, the CA’s article can be found here. In short:
The beer measure would ban sales of single beers in much of Downtown, based on other cities’ experience that removing cheap, easy sources of alcohol reduces antisocial activities ranging from begging to public drunkenness.
What a waste of time, and an annoyance to everyone who lives downtown. No, I don’t often find myself craving a 40 of OE after work, but I do often say to myself “Self, I’d like a bomber of Dead Guy to go with my dinner”. More to the point, it’s not going to do a goddamn thing. It’s gonna be hard to limit sales of single bottles of cheap liquor from liquor stores, and every crackhead knows liquor gets you mo drunker anyway. So basically the plan is to limit the availability of cheap, single serving beers so the “People causing trouble” can move to cheap, multiple “Serving” liquor. Fucking brilliant, I don’t see any way this could possibly lead to the exact opposite of the desired outcome!
Thanks to some help from theogeo, I’ve totally redone the site. If something is missing or broken, or if you want to share your opinion on the new look comment or email me, as I’m still working all the bugs out.
Had their sliders, pretty damn good, some of the best I’ve had, honestly. Their fries are pretty good too. I’ve only been there a handful of times, but now that I live like 2 seconds away, I have a feeling I’ll be there a lot. If you notice the picture doesn’t suck like most of my pictures do, it’s because Theogeo took it. She got a grilled cheese but was too busy talking about boobs to take a picture of it.
An early morning fire destroyed popular Midtown restaurant and bar Side Street Grill in Overton Square.
The fire at the establishment, located at 31 Florence, started about 1 a.m. today. Memphis Fire Department officials have not released the cause of the blaze.
The bar was known for its martinis and outdoor patio.
Check back later today for more details.
I’ve been meaning to get to Side Street, their blackened chicken pasta is fantastic. I guess I’ll be waiting a while.
I tried to stay in and avoid the winter weather today, but I had to run to the store for smokes and stuff. I snapped a couple of pics during my voyage.
If I’m still up when the next band of snow comes through, I’ll go up to the roof and get some more pics.
At least kinda. I’ve been staying in being a nerd this weekend because I got a new computer. Naturally I had to take it apart, upgrade everything, do a clean install of the newest OS, and do everything in my power to break it.
(Ignore the red case, I already ordered a clear one, but the guy I bought it from threw in the red one for free. Better than nothing for sure.)
I’ll join the world of the living again this week.
Ahahahaha, so perfect.
I’m not going to rehash the whole fucking stupid issue, because it honestly just makes me want to kick a puppy. In short, raging moron city council member Halbert “Struck down” the idea of a skatepark in the Glenview area:
But Councilwoman Wanda Halbert, who represents the district that includes the park, objected to the project in December, and parks officials told skate-park supporters last week that they would have to find a new location for the facility.
“In a tough economic time for a lot of families … now is not the time to entertain a skate park, especially in a historic neighborhood,” said Halbert in a Dec. 17 e-mail to parks director Cindy Buchanan.
“We must have things such as utility payment assistance programs for the working poor,” said Halbert. “After we have strengthened job and economic power among our constituents, then we need to talk about a skate park.”
Halbert said Wednesday that she was baffled by the commotion over her decision to oppose the skate park.
“Black people feel like when other folks want something, they just do it,” said Halbert. “If you try to buck what they are doing, or don’t understand it, they get mad.”
I sat here for the better part of half an hour trying to figure out exactly how to address a position that’s so stupid it’s nearly incomprehensible. I considered picking her response apart, line by line. I considered a long winded diatribe as to how dumb shit like this is the reason people of every race, creed, and color are clawing their way out of Memphis at any cost. I considered fighting my microwave, as it seemed to make as much sense as what I just read. In the end, I feel my sentiments are best expressed like this:
Go fuck yourself.
Just had a few drinks as it was already pretty late, but it’s a cool place. I’m going to try to get back this weekend to try out their food.
