Blue Monkey
“After nearly 27 wonderful years, the Midtown Blue Monkey will be closing,” the iconic Midtown bar and restaurant posted on Facebook last week. “Our final day of business will be Friday, June 19. Thank you, Memphis, for allowing us to serve you.”
The Downtown Blue Monkey will remain open.

Key Glock took his “Road to Project X” vlog to Hamilton High School last week on YouTube. He played basketball in the gym, visited a convenience store (sharing a few dollars with a cute little girl), and drove (and smoked) around South Memphis. Project X is the rapper’s upcoming album.

Grahamwood Heights neighbor Frank Butler has been snapping photos around the University of Memphis around 4 a.m. and posting them on Nextdoor. The oft-unseen nighttime world there is beautiful. Kudos to the lighting designers and electricians.
