So , I have a friend on the road traveling in Europe this week. Why the heck didn’t I get to make the trip.

Well , Henry had made the comment on Sunday afternoon to notice the parking meters. I had asked Redman about meter’s… Read More
Saturday Night – Jamie Randolph Plus The Bridges at 8th & Rail
I think that it’s Jamie’s first visit to 8th & Rail. Rock-n-roll, blues, and barbecue, this is Memphis to you, me, everybody. You would think that every Memphis musician spent his infant years rocking ever-so-soulfully on the back beat of a bar-playing blues hound. Don’t fall prey to the hype. Jamie Randolph had his beginnings in the cozy suburbs of the big city under the watchful eyes of his supportive parents and the Church. Think… Read More

I bought a can of peaches at the grocery store the other day. They were from Greece and Packed in Southeast Asia. CNN has been doing a recent story about how hard it would be to get food that’s not from outside the US. Well, the cure for this disease is to shop the Local Farmer’s Market downtown on Railroad Avenue on Tuesday. I suspect they won’t have produce from Greece, but that’s okay, right?… Read More
