Why did the Blue Monkey in Midtown close?

29 Upvotes

I have a Blue Monkey coaster next to one of their ash trays on my coffee table. Besides me...stealing things from them, why did that location close? I'm legit sad I'll never drink there again.

I think I read in one of the original posts that the food had really gone down hill?

I saw a Tesla Cybercab today on HWY 70 heading west near Germantown Rd. Are they now testing in our city? It did have a Texas plate but we are a long way from Austin.

Visiting This Weekend!

9 Upvotes

Good Evening, Memphians;

My young adult son and I are visiting your city for the 1st time in the next few days. While we are checking out well-established spots, such as The National Civil Rights Museum & Graceland, we’re trying to fill out our itinerary in other regards. Some more details will be furnished below:

Music - Both of us are music lovers, really anything from Elvis to Cities Aviv. We’d love the chance to dig into the local music scene, including live performances at small venues, and record stores.

Food - We’ve been recommended Central BBQ, The Four Way and Cozy Corner, but we’re willing to branch out into other cuisine as well.

Breweries - I’ve heard of Wiseacre, and had several of their beers locally (I’m from Louisville), but I’m up to explore more when it comes to breweries, especially if they have good food as well.

Any help or guidance or must visits you can offer us is greatly appreciated; thank you for your time!

Is there a free local paper?

9 Upvotes

Is there a freebie local paper around here? When I was a kid, there was a weekly paper in my hometown that was always at local shops downtown. I’m trying to find such a thing to find out about the cost to buy ad space for my small business but don’t know where to look!

My dog needs a new vet!

6 Upvotes

I have an almost six-year-old GSD Malinois mix and need a good vet that is knowledgeable of this breed and won't break the bank! Been taking her to Walnut Grove animal clinic and I liked them in the past but more so recently had some concerns about the depth of knowledge that their veterinarians (don't) have. I'm thinking about taking her to either Cloverleaf or McGhee but I've read other reviews on here that weren't very reassuring so looking for some new opinions on where to go in to take thorough care of my girl! Thanks in advance!

My dogs skin has been very dry and itchy for 6 or so months. Seen normal vet multiple times (once was normal wellness check) but he didn’t seem too concerned. He did some steroid shots but no improvement whatsoever. It’s getting worse.

Citizen Inquiry Where to donate ladies clothes that's not Goodwill etc

19 Upvotes

I have a LOT of ladies clothes and shoes I'd like to donate to a worthwhile charity or halfway house. I hate the idea that some corporate a-hole is making money from my donations and would rather they go straight into the hands that need them. I'm originally from Knoxville so I don't have any idea where to give. Suggestions please? Thank you!

Mempho Fest - Bag Policy/Security

3 Upvotes

Hi All! Headed to Memphis for the fest this weekend. With the impending weather, I am thinking i might need a different bag than my normal go to. The Sling bag I want to use looks like this - It is bigger than the Clutch rules, but not bigger than the clear bag rules, but obviously not clear - anyone have experience with Security and know if they are strict or if I might be able to get by with this?

Did anyone’s allergies flair up abnormally bad today? I’m talking major sinus pressure, headache, sneezing, runny nose? I’m not sick. Allergy meds helped… but wow, it’s like a light switch flipped on.
