News I am begging you to try the buffet at Petals on Highland

109 Upvotes

Petals rightfully gets a ton of love on here and overall but I doubt many know they just opened a lunch buffet on the Highland Strip.

It’s $13 plus tax and has so many options. Mapo tofu, beef and broccoli, the peony fried chicken.

They also have fried wings with the crispy chicken seasoning. I think if you used to love Pho Binh’s wings this will scratch your itch.

Absolutely amazing. I am not shilling them it just was that good lol

Explosions!

I’m in East Memphis right now and we are hearing what sounds like deep explosions! Not gunfire, no sirens, power is still on, but there have been about 6 explosions in the past 20 minutes.

Anyone know what is going on?

Does anybody remember Celebration Station's animatronic dog band? I've been trying to find them and this is the only known photo of them lol.

I know that the piano player's face was stolen at one point but idk if that was before or after they got removed. The 2nd photo isn't from CS, but I've included it so you guys can get an idea of what the whole band looks like. Usually, I have a lot of info about bands like this, but this specific set I really don't have a lot so any info on their whereabouts is greatly appreciated.

Citizen Inquiry Searching For Hair Stylist

7 Upvotes

Hey!

My sister is currently facing an acute Myeloid Leukemia diagnosis. She is really struggling (as one could imagine), and I would love to be able to do something for her to distract her and make her happy.

She's always been a fan of rainbow colored hair, especially purples and blues. With the cancer diagnosis and oncoming treatment, she is genuinely concerned that she won't have much more time to enjoy simple things like rainbow colored hair.

Which brings me to my inquiry. I would love to take her to some sort of alternative hair stylist who could professionally dye her hair some purple or blue, or combo! She's never professionally dyed her hair, only used Arctic Fox which washes out in like a week for her. (She has a lot of white hair which shows through quickly).

Does anyone have any recommendations for good, professional hair stylists available for unnatural colors like blue or purple?

I really appreciate any and all info.

(Adding before any comments: I'm not looking for free handouts. The cancer story is just for context. I am planning to pay, AND I'm a good tipper!)

Thanks!

Birthday restaurant ideas?

6 Upvotes

So I know a lot of the big ones, but I kind of want to know if I am missing out on anything. I would like it to lean towards fine dining/special occasion without being outrageous. I am not the biggest meat eater and nor do I like shellfish so be mindful of that.

I am thinking Josephine Estelle for dinner, but I want to know some brunch or lunch ideas! Or if I should lunch at Josephine Estelle and go elsewhere for dinner. My birthday is on a Saturday this year.

Previous birthdays have been celebrated at Coastal Fish, Southern Social, Acre, afternoon tea at the Peabody, and Grey's Fine Cheeses. The most disappointing for me was Acre, I felt like it was a lot of dishes I could make for myself easily.

Great desserts are a must.

Knowing if there are any birthday freebies are also enticing.

Brick Repair Recommendations?

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have a recommendation for brick repair/masonry work? I searched through previous posts on here but didn't see anything relevant. We have a small brick repair project for our front steps where the mortar has degraded and loosened after the freeze earlier this year.

I bought the tools and mortar mix to try it myself but am having second thoughts due to the difficulty in having to undo it if I mess it up.

TCAT Memphis

Anyone have any fairly recent experience with TCAT Memphis? Specifically their aviation maintenance program.

From what I understand, the instructor who was apparently a jerk is no longer there. I’m going for my A&P, but I’m having a seriously difficult time getting in touch with anyone there.

Heard how unsafe Memphis is and honestly very anxious about being there for 3 days, especially because I’ll probably get out of the office past sunset and will have to walk my hotel

XAI is not in Memphis. Our leaders de-annexed it 8 years ago.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I love how our community is coming together against these atrocities committed against our city. Well, I have a new layer to add this. According to my research, XAi is not in Memphis. It's in River Bottoms, Tennessee. Our leaders de-annexed that area in 2018 and 2019.

This is a map of all the locations that were de-annexed by our City Council in 2018 and 2019. Two of those locations now contain data centers.

Here are my sources:

Once you realize this, so many things start to make sense. That's why Elon completely ignores our mayor. That's why (according to my research) Memphis Police Department didn't respond to the death at XAI recently, because it's not in their jurisdiction.

My only question is, who is the mayor of River Bottoms, Tennessee? /s

I see the bots are heavy in here. Trying to take the focus off the subject matter. The real people will see this and understand. The bots will keep botting.
