Spring is coming, and the warmer
months are around the corner. Memphians are given some opportunities
throughout the weeks to leave their heavier coats at home. Come
April, the nights will be warm, and in Cooper-Young, the people will
be out.
The Cooper-Young Thursday Night Out is
a monthly tradition in the hip community. Shops, restaurants,and bars
give their patrons discounts. The streets and entertainment venues
are filled with live music. And the citizens of Cooper-Young are
having a good time.
Started in 2008, Thursday Night Out is
an event held on the first Thursday of every month. “Have people
hang out and listen to music,” is one goal for the event, according
to Tamara Cook, executive director of the Cooper-Young Business
Association. “[We want] to just highlight the area.”
Phillip Stroud, general manager of
Young Avenue Deli, agrees. “It's just good for business. Get
everybody out.” Young Avenue Deli, a well-loved establishment, offers a kids eat free deal, with
the purchase of an adult entrée for Thursday Night Out. As far as
the crowds, which for restaurants can be up to 800 that night, Stroud
says, “Bring it on!”
Cooper-Young's Thursday Night Out
begins April 4th this year, at 5 pm.
