Memphis: Interesting -In addition to its continued run in local multiplexes, THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU, as of this past weekend, is now playing daily at 3 p.m., through July 31, on the 'Giant Screen Theater' at the Pink Palace Museum. (So it might still be at the museum after its cinema run ends...)
Accompanied by @aceatkins.bsky.social, I returned to the place I drove to almost every day from 1981 until 2019: the old Commercial Appeal building (5 stories, for close to 1500 employees!), now slated for demolition, possibly as early as this weekend. bit.ly/4aoPD2I
