I am traveling back today from Way Down South where the Spanish Moss grows lush and rampant in a sub-tropical climate. Or maybe it's semi-tropical. Or maybe it's on the cusp of sub-semi-tropical. Whatever it is it's warmer down here. Soon I will be hurtling back to downtown Memphis where MLK, Jr. Day is being celebrated, below are a couple of events:
The MLK, Jr. Celebration Game: Memphis Grizzlies vs Pistons, today at 4:30pm at the FedExForum.
The National Civil Rights Museum celebrates the MLK holiday with extended hours: 8am - 6pm, special events and reduced admission of $2.00.
On a sad note, I heard last week that Blues City Coffee at Main and Peabody Place was closing and their last day was to have been yesterday. I hope that's not true as that was the coffee shop I could walk to and work there or read or just sit. Drat.

What's with all the closings lately? I liked that place too, back when I could drink coffee :) They had good little desserts as well. Too bad.
I suppose it's a sign of the perilous economic times we find ourselves in, but at the same time there are some openings to look forward to:
NYC Deli
Silly Goose
Beignets
Oh Spanish Moss....
I have seen that before somewhere ?
