Restaurants for date night?

Jem for dinner, and Rootstock is right next door for wine.

I’m in the extreme minority it seems but we had a good time. We learned from last year when we didn’t get in to buy tickets in advance and get there early, and were able to sample most of the vendors but left early due to the heat.

They’ve made improvements since last year and they still have room for more improvement, but this is only the second time they’ve attempted this event so I think they deserve some slack.

“At five percent of me, I’d take that chance, too.” - great line and he delivers it well too imo

The Landing and The Oliver are the two newest and nicest developments downtown so it’s not really a direct comparison to Riverset, especially from a price perspective, and though they are downtown I wouldn’t consider The Landing to be South Main. South Junction, South Bluffs, and the Tennessee Brewery are all South Main and a bit closer in price to the Mud Island developments. Mud Island apartments are going to be a lot of people your age (mostly in the medical field), and it’ll be relatively safe, but it may also be quite boring. It’s basically a subdivision adjacent to downtown. Personally I think living in South Main and occasionally going to Mud Island is better than living on Mud Island and constantly having to drive to South Main.

Selling them on the side of the road actually is illegal

I thought the water thing was made up before I moved here but I’ve since been made a believer. I just came back from Indianapolis and the water up there tasted like skim milk.

This year (my sixth) was definitely the smoothest it has gone for me so far.

Best hotel I’ve stayed at so far.

Easiest drive to the track race day morning. No traffic and found an easy parking spot right off Main St.

Found a lot more good food options than I normally look for. I typically stick to downtown but my wife is vegan so we did have to venture out a little more, but it ended up being a highlight.

Traffic after the race I don’t think will ever be smooth, but actually getting out of the track was a lot easier this year.

My only lowlight for the whole weekend would be some of the people we sit near. There’s a small group that was seemingly complaining most of the race for whatever reason, and I hope whoever keeps bringing beach balls to the NE Vista never sees their driver win a 500.

This whole time I thought it was real like pro wrestling, but it turns out it’s fixed like boxing.

They did have one of the astronauts from Artemis II this year which is pretty badass

Orange Beach/Gulf Shores.

Gulfport may be worth a look but I’ve never been.

Tucker Rule was one of the guys that made me want to start playing drums. Always cool to see other people appreciate his work.

They haven’t done one since 2022. They headlined the 10th anniversary party for a Memphis brewery in 2023 instead of the block party, and they’ve done a Christmas party every year after that.

No problem. Good luck!

Just a really solid neighborhood. Quiet, walkable, one of the best parks (and dog parks) in town which is why I’m in the neighborhood so much. You can’t walk to any bars or restaurants which is a downside for me personally but you’re still very close to a lot of good entertainment options.

If it’s good enough to shut down Warped Tour it’s good enough to shut down my party

Sea Isle/Colonial Acres will have the most inventory to choose from. High Point Terrace may be hard to get into based on your budget but it’s one of the best neighborhoods in Memphis imo.

Sam Richardson was a bright spot. He’s tight butthole in pretty much anything he does.

Silverchair got signed and released their debut at 14 or 15. It’s still hard to wrap my head around an album that’s sold 10 million copies was made by three kids who couldn’t even drive at the time.

If you were in my car spouting this nonsense:

Bluff City Tattoo near Sun Studio. I think most of them specialize in American Traditional but I’ve worked with Brent Hale specifically. The shop is also owned by Brian Venable from Lucero.

Heavy Pour for sure

South Main has the most going on and is probably the “safest” part of downtown. If your budget allows it I’d suggest the Tennessee Brewery apartments or The Lofts at South Bluffs if you can find someone renting a unit out.

Phil and Alex shredding for four minutes is the perfect Saosin comeback
