BWW Review: Starkly Dark and Raw Revival of CABARET Returns Decadently to the Pantages
by Don Grigware - Jul 21, 2016
Perhaps Kander and Ebb's best musical, apart from Chicago, Cabaret has it all: a fine book, deliciously diverse characters, dynamite music and a subtext that will not quit. The subtext being: either compromise or get out if you value your life, the latter, to be sure, the wiser. This is Berlin, circa 1929/30, before Hitler, just as Nazi pressure hits the fan. Now a national tour based on Roundabout Theatre's 2013 revival docks at the Pantages for a mere 3 weeks with a glorious cast headed by Randy Harrison in a big, broad and devilishly fun performance as the Emcee.

Top 10 Page To Stage Adaptations
by Marianka Swain - Jul 20, 2016
Harry Potter mania grips London, while over the pond the States is seized by Hamilton fever. What do they have in common?

Alright, Memphis, it's time to get this week started with our roundup of happenings you need to know about.
The 2016 Memphis In May International Festival closes out Saturday with a pair of new additions to the monthlong lineup.The Saturday by the river begins with the Great American River Run – a half-marathon and a 5K run with a riverside and Downtown route. There is, of course, a post-race party, which then segues into 901Fest – four stages in Tom Lee Park featuring local music and arts, from Al Kapone and Frayser Boy to the North Mississippi Allstars to Opera Memphis and the New Ballet Ensemble & School.The idea here, and it may be an evolving concept, seems to be local and diverse and not as much of an emphasis on the stages and what happens there at the expense of those who stay after the run and those who come for the music and the arts.To dot the I on that point, 901Fest also includes an air show.
Tennessee Small Business Development Center will host a workshop on government contracting Thursday, May 19, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Renaissance Business Center, 555 Beale St. The University of Tennessee's Procurement Technical Assistance Center will teach small-business owners how to successfully compete for government contracts.

Let's get this week started, Memphis! Here's our roundup of local happenings you need to know about, from the dreaded federal income tax filing day, to the scheduled end of the Tennessee Legislature for this session, to a couple of big round-ball games at FedExForum beginning Friday.
When it comes to residential real estate around Middle Tennessee, there are plenty of buyers but not nearly enough sellers, says Heather Benjamin with Reliant Realty's Benjamin McConnell Group. And new construction just can't keep up with the demand.
Ryan Anderson sums up the homebuilding profession as taking one of two approaches.
The first is the old-school craftsman who builds a high-quality product. It's a nice house with a lot of details. As a one-person business, that craftsman might have a strong focus on the finished product but isn't able to juggle all the tasks necessary to operate a business, from tracking budgets, ordering materials and handling schedules, to communicating with clients and chasing new work.
Ryan Anderson sums up the homebuilding profession as taking one of two approaches.
The fishing puns are overpowering as Bass Pro Shops expresses its interest in redeveloping Mud Island River Park, on the other side of the city harbor from the Pyramid Bass Pro Shops opened at just this past May.Bass Pro Shops is one of five companies to express interest in Mud Island as part of the process by the Riverfront Development Corporation to go a different way with the park.The RDC released the names of the companies Thursday.Earlier this month, we outlined the RVC Outdoor Destinations proposal.We don't know nearly as much about what Bass Pro Shops has in mind or the other three firms.All five now head for what amounts to a second round in which they submit specific plans to a search committee of the RDC including how they will pay for their plans.
Munford! A winning Powerball ticket for the largest jackpot ever was sold in Munford and that warrants a rare exclamation mark.Possibly two when you consider that small towns are supposed to be places where it is nearly impossible to keep a secret – at least from the other folks in the town.The fact that it was sold at Naifeh's, a long-standing Tipton County business institution adds to the story.The person who bought the ticket in Munford holds one of three winning tickets which comes out to about $582 million for that ticket.That is roughly the size of the city of Memphis operating budget.There was a similar mystery underway Thursday in Dyersburg where someone bought a Powerball ticket worth a paltry $2 million. Probably worth an exclamation mark if I wasn't over the limit and already feeling the unspoken disdain of my reporting brethren who are judging me harshly as you read this.
Here comes the river. Not quite at 40 feet on the Mississippi River gauge at Memphis overnight but getting thereFor those who weren't around in 2011 when the river crested at 48.3 feet, the second highest level ever recorded at Memphis, this is the part of the program where lots of people begin to gather at the river.For some it will be to compare what they've seen before. For others it will be their first look and experience with the concept that nature is bigger than we are.The smaller those first-time river visitors are, the easier it is for them to accept that. After all, when you are always looking up at the world everything is bigger than you are.In Tom Lee Park you see them step onto the park's grass, their eyes riveted on the west, perhaps not seeing much beyond the grass at first, a small hand poking out of a coat sleeve shielding their eyes from the sun. And then their first glimpse of the running brown water. And the walk inevitably becomes a run and then a quick halt as the immensity of the river kicks in. Always the two together even when the river is just being eternal.
Amidst a constantly changing grocery scene in the Memphis area, Miss Cordelia's keeps plugging along in Harbor Town on Mud Island.
But don't think the neighborhood grocer is sitting back waiting on customers to walk through the doors. The business' 35 employees aren't paying as close attention to the national grocery brands expanding or joining the market farther to the east because they're focused more on listening to customers to better understand what they want.
As the Mississippi River was nearing flood stage at Memphis Saturday, Jan. 2, Memphis firefighters were preparing to go door-to-door in Harbor Town on Mud Island.
The visits are not an evacuation. They are "to notify residents about the high water threat," said Dale Lane, director of the Shelby County Office of Preparedness.
A quality, affordable neighborhood for low- to moderate-income Memphians. That's developer Henry Turley's ongoing vision for Uptown, a North Memphis neighborhood benefiting from $150 million in redevelopment efforts.
By the time everyone has put up the tinsel, taken down the trees and is counting down the days until 2016 arrives, the month of December will have seen at least half a dozen holiday markets, stores and pop-up shops unfold around Memphis.
Hospitals are transitioning more services to ambulatory care models in an effort to bring health care closer to communities where patients live and work.
Regional One Health's ambulatory strategy includes embedding services in communities where it is designing practices that meet basic medical services. That strategy includes operation of Harbor of Health in Harbor Town, part of Regional One's long-term goal to offer convenient services in different parts of the city that are away from the main campus in the Medical District. The location in Harbor Town and its extended hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. make it convenient for Downtown residents and employees.
Memphis' development eye is turning inward and upward as mixed-use projects are becoming more common than ever before.
Usually a mode of survival for densely packed cities, residential, office, retail and even manufacturing are cohabitating in single mixed-use buildings or lots as a way to recoup Memphis' sprawl. Downtown and Midtown are being combed for infill and adaptive reuse possibilities as millennials are moving to the urban core in droves.
The best indicator that the national recession was lifting in Memphis was the emergence this year of numerous plans for new hotels and motels.
But aside from Whitehaven's 450-room, $90 million Guest House at Graceland, most of the planned projects are small. And the smaller hotels do little to resolve the long-standing chicken-and-egg question about which should come first – more hotel rooms or more and better convention space.
Creative individuals often do their best work in isolation.
But sometimes collaboration can go a long way in furthering a mission, particularly when it's a group of creative small-business owners looking to take their respective entities to another level.
By adding a pinch of passion to a tried-and-true recipe, Tom Flournoy has grown a family-run business to having a five-state reach.
After he was unexpectedly laid off from his executive position in the automotive parts industry, Flournoy fell back on an appetizing venture: homemade pimento cheese. To make ends meet, he started preparing pimento cheese at home and selling it to friends and farmers markets under the name Tom's Tiny Kitchen.

The Porcellino's restaurant in East Memphis has been open for about four months, but it's established itself on the local restaurant scene in short order – so much so that foodies don't even have to step inside the doors to enjoy something from chefs Michael Hudman and Andy Ticer.
Most of us are ankle, knee, elbow, perhaps even chin deep in the process of filing tax returns. A recent publication noted that even those due refunds wait until the last minute to submit their bills to Uncle Sam.

Dr. Susan Nelson's health practice at Harbor of Health is closing next month, as she prepares to move to the Church Health Center this summer.
When Staley Cates bought the Sears Crosstown building in 2007 and the development team behind what is now Crosstown Concourse was taking shape to redevelop the property, another developer dropped by Cates' office.
Brennan Simkins is 12 years old and he's had four bone marrow transplants. His mother and father each have been donors.
But he also has two brothers. And while Brennan was being treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Nat, now 15, and Christopher, now 11, needed to be in Memphis with their family but also needed to move ahead with their own lives. So their parents pulled them out of Catholic school back in North Augusta, S.C., and enrolled them in the Maria Montessori School on Mud Island.
When Memphians like Jimmy Lewis are leaving established careers to remake themselves as coffee roasters, it's one sign that coffee culture in Memphis is abundant with opportunity and steadily coming into its own.
"I Choose Memphis" spotlights Memphians who are passionate about calling this community home. New Memphis Institute provides the profiles.

As the owner of Inbalance Fitness in Cooper-Young, Scott Lebowitz is focused on the physical health of the clients who walk through his doors.
Starting a few years ago, however, Lebowitz began to wear an additional, albeit less obvious, professional hat. He's also a commercial property owner, having bought the building in which his business operates as well as the space of other Cooper-Young businesses around him – which means that in addition to his clients' health, he's also paying close attention to the health of the neighborhood.
Beale Street Landing seems an unlikely choice as a cornerstone, considering its troubled path to completion.
At this point, it's almost a motto – not on time and over budget, and by a lot on both counts.

The River Inn, the boutique hotel on Mud Island that opened in 2007, has reopened its upper-level terrace after making some changes designed to add even more comforts for the hotel's guests.
The Terrace at River Inn, at 50 Harbor Town Square, is now a restaurant that's open year-round, offering river views and new cuisine in a setting no longer limited by the weather or the time of year.
LRK Inc. is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and the full-service architectural, planning, environmental and interior design firm is involved with a diverse range of high-profile projects, both locally and nationally, with the intent of creating special places for clients and users.
Of the neighborhoods in which the Mayor's Innovation Delivery Team has been working to build retail and commercial trade, none has the amount of history, turmoil, potential and perception problems found in the two blocks east and west of Mississippi Boulevard and Walker Avenue.
Go by Overton Square during lunch or at night, and the place is usually overflowing with visitors – some who want lunch, dinner or a libation, and some who come just to enjoy the simple pleasure of people-watching.
The number of business licenses filed with the Shelby County Clerk's office slumped 7.7 percent to 1,290 in the second quarter, compared with 1,397 in the second quarter of 2012, according to The Daily News Online, www.memphisdailynews.com.

2012: Loeb Properties Inc. of Memphis closed on its $7 million acquisition of eight acres of the Overton Square entertainment district from Denver-based Overton Square Investors LLC.
Cafe Eclectic has found itself in an enviable spot since the cafe's first location opened five years ago in Midtown.
After opening that first location at 603 N. McLean Blvd., the owners didn't have to necessarily go hunting for additional spots. For Cafe Eclectic's second and third stores – the newest of which opened at the end of June near the University of Memphis – owners of those spaces came instead to them.

Anna Holtzclaw's footprint is on property all over Memphis.
Since 2001, the real estate marketing entrepreneur has worked to promote properties developed and designed by the likes of the Henry Turley Co., LRK Inc. and Loeb Properties Inc.
Years after Henry Turley experienced the Memphis sanitation workers' strike and the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, took advantage of the Community Reinvestment Act and persuaded banks to reinvest in the Downtown core, not to mention spearheaded revitalization in the Harbor Town and Uptown areas, he's making a "micro bet" on building nice neighborhoods around excellent schools.
Chris Garland was drawn to the hustle and bustle of the real estate business in his early teens.
The 10th Annual Harbor Town Dog Show "Who Let the Dogs Out?" presented by Downtown Animal Hospital will take place Oct. 28.
Spectators can attend the show, from noon to 4 p.m. at Nursery Park in Harbor Town, for free and may reserve seating in the VIP – as in, Very Important Pooch/Parent – Green Room, which will offer gourmet food and drinks.
Plans are moving forward for a third location of Café Eclectic, this time inside The Stratum on Highland, 510 S. Highland St.
To say the team behind the redevelopment of the nearly 20-year-vacant Sears, Roebuck & Co. Retail and Catalog distribution facility in Midtown's Crosstown neighborhood has their work cut out for them would be an understatement at best.
The reversal of fate for the blighted Chisca Hotel at the intersection of South Main Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, plagued by passive out-of-town ownership and environmental hazards, was set in motion during a phone call about 18 months ago.
Having a staff of just six employees hasn't affected the ability of Architecture Inc., 88 Union Ave., to maintain a diverse catalogue and high volume of projects, many of them high profile.
LuvMud Island, an event that merges a 5K and mud race, will take place Saturday, June 23, at Greenbelt Park on Mud Island River Park.
The event supports Habitat for Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to forming a supportive community around families who've traveled to the Mid-South to receive medical care for their children.
Ray Gill, president of Gill Properties, got into commercial real estate because of his interest in land but now wishes he'd spent some time reading palms and tarot cards.

Memphis' eyes were bigger than its stomach in 2011, but in a good way.
Some local restaurateurs launched completely new concepts; others entered new submarkets with additional stores. Even a handful of national retailers entered the Memphis market after having locations elsewhere in Tennessee for years.
On Thanksgiving Eve, we drove to the airport to pick up my stepson, one of whose flights had been delayed, so it was after 10 by the time he emerged from baggage claim. All being hungry, I drove to Cooper-Young, thinking we could easily get in at the recently opened Alchemy at 10:30.

Reviews for Alexandra Chiles Foundation
The Alexandra Chiles Foundation does invaluable work in raising the spirits of children and young adults during their hospital stays and treatments. Often activities for children undergoing treatment are designed for very young children, leaving pre-teens and teenagers with little to occupy their time. The foundation provides activities that challenge their imagination while entertaining and enriching their lives.
I believe that the mind can help heal the body, and the activities help to provide a sense of accomplishment that must raise their spirits.

Learning about how donations, both monetary and in kind donations are made. Anita Chiles has been very successful in gathering support from local bead shops, while also gaining support from young volunteers to organize the kits to be delivered to hospitals.

I have been so impressed that the foundation is supported by an all volunteer staff. Donations are used for the purpose intended instead of being wasted by endless mailings. This is a wonderful, purposeful organization.
The Alexandra Chiles Foundation serves a community of children who are fighting cancer. The foundation provides the gift of keeping these children's mind occupied while working on a craft that is fun and useful at the same time.
I remember well when Alexandra was at Children's Hospital and she made oragami ornaments to decorate Christmas trees that her family passed on the friends. It was Alexandra's idea to do beading and other crafts to alleviate the tedious time while going through chemotherapy. She always kept busy with her hands during those long periods of time at the hospital.
Thousands of stricken children have been the happy recipients of beading kits provided, at first by the Chiles family, and now by the foundation. Alexandra's creative vision to entertain children with cancer needs to be expanded to reach children all over the United States and some day, beyond the boundaries of the US.
It is a joy, pleasure and honor to contribute to this most worthwhile cause and foundation.

An area woman received a special airplane ride over Wabash County on Christmas Eve, but little did she know it would change her life forever.
Wabash resident Kyle Shoemaker surprised his then-girlfriend Hidi Hix, of Marion, with a holiday flight in a Cherokee airplane.
"I told (Hix) I had a Christmas present that I needed to give to her and we needed to leave the house," Shoemaker told The Paper of Wabash County. "So we drove to the airport and she still didn't have a clue what was going on.
"I told her, 'I thought I'd do something different and take you for an airplane ride,' and she was real happy with that. The whole time she kept saying how neat it was flying."

"Small town life, and especially when we growing up … it was a different world then," Deal told The Paper of Wabash County. "It was a safe place. We could leave the house at night and go play and stay gone all day and just be home by dark was the rule. Just so many sweet memories and just wonderful people here.
"So my book's a period piece, 1903, so it just lent itself really well. This was a farming community when I was a kid and it still has that flavor to it. … So when I knew it was going to about a farming family, I knew it'd have to (take place) in my hometown."

Superintendent Jason Callahan, in a news release issued Saturday, Jan. 16, announced that the school board was to meet on Tuesday, Jan. 19, to accept the resignation and approve replacements for the pair.

I kind of wished I got him complete with the actual weapons he came with. I only payed $7- $8 for this, but with the Complete version it costs around almost $30-$35. eek! And aside from Napoleon Bonafrogs different look based on the action figure, Shredder's action figure especially has always bugged me. It's such a big departure from what he looks like in the cartoon, they royally screwed him up big time.lol
As for Napoleon Bonafrog....Yup, what an insane difference. Why in earth would they change his design for the toy!?
