📰 The Rundown
Two updates to yesterday's weekend guide: Sunday's Indie Memphis closing-night film, The Man I Love, is sold out, and so is VIP Early Access for Saturday's Sip TN Wine Festival. Sip TN general admission is still on sale. (via Indie Memphis and Sip TN)
Downtown Dining Week starts Monday: more than 50 restaurants through Nov. 15, with parking codes for $2 or $4 garage rates and a prize drawing for anyone who turns in three receipts. (via Downtown Memphis Commission)
Veterans Day trash heads-up: city offices close Wednesday, Nov. 11, and there's no city trash pickup that day. Wednesday customers roll carts out Thursday instead, and Thursday and Friday routes stay put. Team Waste customers aren't affected. (via City of Memphis)
