I had the opportunity to re-visit Vanelli's Deli in Germantown yesterday and I can't wait to get back. If you make the drive out east, try The 'Ami, a sandwich with pastrami, genova salami, filzette salami, Provolone, green pepper, red onion, lettuce, tomato and Vanelli's Italian dressing. Something new on the menu is the muffaletta.
Here's an early thank you for
Rudy Gay for setting up a
basketball exhibition game. The Grizzlies had a ton of moment coming off of last year's play off run, but the sizzle has faded away with the current NBA lockout. Details of the game will be announced later today, but of right now the game is rumored to be on November 8 at the Desoto Civic Center.
For the longest time, Larry Cox,
president and CEO of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority, has said that Memphis has some the most competitive airfare prices in the country. Memphis travelers have often wondered if Cox was confused. Apparently it's not just Memphians who feel we are getting hosed at the airport. An
annual convention is moving to Kansas City because of the growth of the convention and because "the flight costs were an issue. Memphis is one of the most expensive airports in the country." As Delta continues to reduce capacity in and out of Memphis while raising prices, Cox and the rest of his team need to find other carriers to increase flights to and from Memphis and put pressure on Delta to reduce fares. It's time to bring competition to the airport that will benefit all parties (the airport, airlines and travelers), not just FedEx and Delta.
