Los Compadres Opens New Doors, Mark Cuban, Charlie Brown

Los Compadres is open in the their new spot on Poplar and Tillman (former location of Costa Vida). The space looks to be a bit bigger than their former location at Poplar and Collins. Speaking of the former location, El Toro Loco will be opening soon.

It would be nice if the Grizzlies had an owner as outgoing as Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Memphis owner Michael Heisley is rarely seen at games and many fans are under the impression that he doesn't care about the team or the city. Cuban is always visible (sometimes good, sometimes bad) at Mavericks games and is well known for his appreciation of fan support. One year Cuban and the Mavericks gave each ticket holder in the last game of the year free round-trip airline tickets on American Airlines.

Keeping himself and the Mavericks in the eyes of the media, Cuban even hosted WWE's Raw last night. His appearance made headlines in broadcast, electronic and print media across the country today.



It isn't necessary for Heisley to jump in a wrestling ring, but it would be a good thing for him to have more of a presence in Memphis. It would show that he actually cares about the city that invested millions to get the Grizzlies in town. Making better hires and player decisions would be a good thing too.

The holiday classic A Charlie Brown Christmas aired tonight on ABC. One of the best Peanuts feature cartoons, the dancing scene never get old. Everyone should master at least one the moves from the dancers.



And for those who were wondering what happened to Charlie Brown later in life...
