Wednesday News Update: RIP Russell Edition

Wednesday News Update: RIP Russell Edition

Happy Wednesday, y'all.

Today in Memphis, we've got a new craft beer emporium, music hall of fame inductees, and a very important question from a local Redditor. Also, we've got the details on Russell George's funeral celebration.

All of that (and more) is in today's news update.

- First, I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Earnestine & Hazel's owner Russell George earlier this week. He was a lovely man, and always full of stories. Funeral arrangements have been made if you'd like to pay your resepects.

- The Memphis Music Hall of Fame has inducted its 2013 class, which includes Johnny Cash, Carla Thomas and the Bar-Kays, among others.

- Attention, hungry people in the 'burbs: food trucks will be parked between Walnut Grove between Humphries and Farm Road in September and October.

- Ahem. The Summer Ave. iteration of the Chinese Sub Shop is now open.

- A Memphis Redditor asks a very important question: Do crosswalks mean something different here?

- I'm not sure how I missed this, but there's an all-craft beer shop opening in Cooper Young next month.

- Native Memphian / photographer Tommy Kha got tons of love from the Huffington Post for a series of photos where he allows strangers to kiss him.

- And, because I want you to be happy, here's a video of Janelle Monae on David Letterman earlier this week.
