Restaurant News, Random Notes, Plus Football Picks

Here's a few quick notes on local eateries. Three Angels Diner has opened in the Broad Avenue Arts District. A new spot from the owner's of Bari, Three Angels will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 11am to 2am.

Downtown's Quetzal has closed its doors. The owners have not ruled out opening a new restaurant in the near future. Mental note for the owners, bad service equals slow-to-no business.

Dunkin Donuts is planning to open a location on Union Avenue in Midtown in the space formerly occupied by Wolf Camera at 1540 Union. Its a chain, but a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Decent donuts, much better coffee.

Don't forget that Cooper Young Festival is Saturday. It might get a little warm during the day, but it will still be a good time.

As I stated earlier this week, its time for Bruce Pearl and Mike Hamilton to get the boot. Unfortunately, it may not be that easy to get rid of Pearl. Hamilton on the other hand should start cleaning his desk.

Just in time for fall weather, Mirimichi golf course in Millington has reopened after being closed since January. Can't wait to get out there and see the improvements to the facility. Justin Timberlake is hoping that the renovations will lead to a LPGA or PGA Champions Tour event at the course. The Senior PGA is great, but the LPGA might be more fun to watch.

Ryan Williams finally gets the opportunity to start for the Memphis Tigers this weekend against Middle Tennessee State. MTSU will, most likely, still win the game, but it will be nice to see a competitive game. Plenty of tickets are still available. Might be a nice option after Cooper Young.
