The High Point Pinch has been declared a public nuisance and was shut down over the weekend by MPD. Looks like drugs were being sold out of this location. Good riddance!!!
The Pinch District had a ton of potential to be a quality entertainment district, but the "moth-balling" of the Pyramid brought an end to quality foot traffic to local businesses. Maybe an addition of quality restaurants (not just pub grub)and bars will entice Downtowners and Island residents to visit the area more often.
Mirimichi opens this Saturday in Millington. Under Justin Timberlake's ownership, the golf course has undergone major renovations and it is expected to one the top golf facilities in the region. Can't wait to get out there.
Memphis based rappers Three 6 Mafia are in negotiations to have a nationally televised cooking show starting this fall. This should be quite entertaining to watch.

Mayor's Race, Grizzlies Moves, Republic
The list of candidates continues to grow for the anticipated special election for Memphis Mayor. The latest addition is professional wrestler Jerry Lawler. One big piece that everyone is waiting for is to see if the current mayor will actually resign. Last year, he changed his mind and this year he has already pushed back the initial date to July 30.
It looks like the Memphis Grizzlies are trying to be active in the free agent market this year. The biggest name mentioned has been Allen Iverson. Big name, but what will he really add? Solid leadership? Probably not. Bench scoring? Maybe. Combined will Zach Randolph, it looks like a new bad boy's club is being formed. Unfortunately, Memphians will be jacked up at the thought of having both.
The Grizzlies also acquired Jerry Stackhouse in a multi-team trade with Dallas, Orlando and Toronto. In addition to receiving Stackhouse from Dallas, the Grizzlies also picked up a future second round pick and cash considerations from Toronto. The cash was used to cover Stackhouse's contract buyout (he has already been released). The Grizzlies also sent Greg Buckner to Toronto.
A new club will be opening on Beale Street. Republic will soon be opening its doors in the space that was last used by EP's.
Ladies and gentlemen, Boston.

Grizzlies Trade Rumors, Boscos Closed?
Looks like the Grizzlies are looking to trade newly acquired Quentin Richardson for Zach Rudolph. Rudolph is a solid scorer, but has never been on a winning club and probably isn't the player the Grizzlies need to get to the next level. What about focusing efforts on snagging Hedo Turkoglu from the free agent pool?
Drove by Boscos tonight and noticed they were closed. No reason to worry though, they are only closed for the week as they go through renovations. They are set to re-open on Monday.
Ladies and gentlemen, B.B. King.
