Day 3: Broad Avenue
I knew, even as I was setting up this shot, that I was visually plagiarizing a much better photographer, MadMolecule, and I decided, rather than do anything truly original, that I’d just call it an homage and be done. [Project 365]

Even in death, Scrap Flowers Crutcher can’t catch a break

‘Like slingshotting a spaceship around the moon’
Bowl-o-rama from Lindsey Turner on Vimeo. So rumor has it that Imperial is closing by the end of the year, but I can’t find this information anywhere on the internets. (I can find plenty about the 2006 rumor.) Can someone substantiate this? I need to know for sure whether or not to be sad for serious. Instant update-o-rama: Kip’s got a photo gallery up!
Memphis people are strange
Manners matter
Last night I was in line at Kimbrough, bottle of cheap bubbly in hand, waiting on the guy in front of me to get done with his transaction, when said dude turned to me and asked what I was getting. I held up the bottle so he could see the label. “Is it good?” he asked. I nodded in the affirmative. “It’s good and cheap,” I said. (Barefoot Bubbly, woo!) “Yeah, I need something to…

City sounds
This is what I heard just a couple of hours ago out behind my apartment. What’s up for interpretation is whether or not these cat noises are aggressive … or amorous. What’s not up for interpretation is that I have GOT to get a better video camera that doesn’t allow for that constant random vibrating background noise. And also? That my cats totally want in on that feral feline action. The sweet sound of urban…

‘The blues at gunpoint’
Last night as I was leaving work I saw two rockabilly dudes with tight jeans and plaid shirts and slick black hair peering into the windows of Sun Studio, taking pictures through the glass because the place was closed. It made me smile. I get a kick out of living in a place that’s a mecca for a lot of people searching for some cultural roots. My co-worker David wrote this this morning and it’s…

Imperial Lanes
Y’all know there’s a 24-hour bowling alley in town, right? Just checking. Because this is what it looks like at 1 a.m. on a Sunday. Empty. I dunno. Just seems a little weird is all. Maybe it’s the lack of a bar. But enterprising folks could just sit out in the car and pass a bottle of champagne around before going inside, were the lack of a bar to seem intimidating. Just saying. Or maybe…
Memphis politics
Here’s a big ol’ sack of stupid for you
Dude goes to Shelby County Election Commission office Friday to register to vote. They turn him away (rudely, he says) because they are out of forms. And yet, there are forms on their website. Here. The deadline to register to vote here is, of course, Monday. So time is of the essence. Am I to believe that the Shelby County Election Commission does not have internet access? Or a printer? What. The. Shit.

Vanessa Huxtable went to my grocery store
I can’t believe I forgot to mention in my last post that the sweet and insanely talkative older lady who checked me out at Schnucks (Union) last night was all atwitter over the fact that Tempestt Bledsoe had just been through there a bit earlier. (The lady used this information as an excuse to give me a rundown on the shows she finds herself watching these days — Law & Order and those shows involving…
