Pinch Bar Closing, Mirimichi, Rap Cooking Show

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.
