Restaurants & Music Halls | The Neighborhood Korner

A hard-living character who has been playing the rural electric blues of his native Mississippi in the lowest bowels of NEW ORLEANS' - The Ninth Ward. When confronted with the news of this latest and greatest honor, King Little Freddie King exclaimed, “I am deeply honored and humbled to be selected as the Monarch of the Krewe du Vieux. Through the many years of watching my musical friends ride pass me on Frenchmen Street, I never in a million years would have imagined me being up on the throne representing this outstanding Carnival organization. I am overwhelmed and with gratitude, all hail Krewe du Vieux!"

Chef Huggie B has a great diner tucked down on Church Street. It's got a great industrial theme going on and lots of space both inside and out to host great events. It wasn't to long ago Uptown Soulfood Diner hosted a one for some friends of mine after hours. The food, music, and airy space to dance a little was really fun. As for chef's craft, we're really lucky to have him in town! Not only as a neighborhood across the way, but a premier culinary artist here in Columbia... Be sure your receptionist or the one in-charge of Order Outs on a busy day has Uptown on your favorite Call In List, Catering, or planning your next Event.

Ah, I got this flier from my good friends and neighbors #MikeGates and his wife #ChirikaGates over here in the #GoldenAcres neighborhood. I gotta tell you, when I take my dogs for an evening walk, I always slow down when I pass their backyard; some good music comes off that back porch. Hope to meet more of our neighbors in #Columbia MS friday evening.... #UptownSoulFoodDiner
