Quick Hits: Tigers Win, Rio Loco, So Long Stella? and a Walrus Update

Coach Cal and the Memphis Tigers edged out a victory against UT-Knoxville over the weekend. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing Bruce Pearl lose.

I went to Downtown's Rio Loco for the first time over the weekend. The service and food were both great. The food portions were very large and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a good meal.

There were rumors floating around Saturday night that Stella had shut its doors. The MBJ confirmed that story today. Hopefully they can find a new location in Midtown or East Memphis.

Local band Walrus is having a "working rehearsal" at Alex's Tavern on Thursday night. They will be practicing for their much anticipated 80's Prom Party on Valentine's Day night. Audience participation will be encouraged and expected.

As mentioned above, Walrus will be playing at an 80's Prom Party on Valentine's Day night at The Vine in Midtown. More details to come.
