Young Avenue Deli

The Young Avenue Deli announced it will go 21 and up on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 10 p.m. in a now-deleted Facebook post from the weekend. The Cooper-Young stalwart said it will also offer free drink covers, increase security, train its staff on handling harassment and misconduct, and conduct a “full internal review on how we operate.” 

“We’ve heard the concerns raised about how we’ve handled misconduct — especially involving the behavior of men in our space — and we recognize that our response has not been good enough,” the restaurant said.

“Local officials claimed Elon Musk’s xAI facility was only running 15 of their 35 unpermitted gas turbines in South Memphis,” the Southern Environmental Law Center said. “We sent a plane with thermal imaging up to double-check and the thermal images showed that almost all of the polluting turbines are running.”
