Mickelson Out At St. Jude?, Downtown Block Party,

Golfer Phil Mickelson announced today that he is leaving the PGA tour indefinitely to support his wife, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Mickelson announced earlier this year that he committed to play in June's St. Jude Classic. What does this mean for the tournament? It's probably to early to tell. At this point, its safe to say that he will not make it to Memphis. If his wife shows a positive response to the initial treatments, things could change.

Peabody Place merchants will host their second block party on Main Street tomorrow. There will be live music, food and drink specials from Circa, Blue Fin and Majestic to name a few. The fun starts at 5:30. This was a fun event in April and hopefully something that will continue on a monthly basis.

In honor of the birthday of blue jeans, ladies and gentlemen, Neil Diamond.
