South Main Block Party Tonight; Zombies

According to the Delphinium Boutique newsletter, there's a block party tonight...

"The South Main Historic Arts District is having a BLOCK PARTY! Friday, April 23rd from 6-9 PM. There will be live bands, one night only sales and big give-a-ways. Come out and enjoy the beautiful weather, visit with friends and neighbors and just have a good time."

This may be a good opportunity to make the most of the weekend since tomorrow's weather looks bleak.

This time of year, I look out for the zombies who stream down Main street like the undead do. May 28 is the date for their walk which coincides with May's South Main Trolley Tour.

The block party sounds fun. What are the zombies?

Hi Welshcakes!

The block party was rained out but there was another block party downtown on Sunday. We're big on block parties I guess. The zombies are hard to explain. A group of people somewhere decided to dress up like zombies and walk a few blocks around town in a zombie-like state. As far as I know this is not a fundraiser, it's just for the heck of it. This idea spread around the country and Memphis does it too. See this post from 2008 to get the idea: http://www.memphistanista.com/2008/04/south-main-trolley-tour.html
