It’s Friday, so we can all go home right? No? Ok, then here’s where some good food is, and what to do when the day is over.

Today is Friday, November 16 2018. It is the 320th day of the year and there are 45 days left. Thanksgiving is 6 days away. Winter’s “official” start is 35 days away, and Christmas is 38 days away.

Here’s what WTVA – The Weather Authority has to say about the weather today:

A few high, thin clouds are likely this Friday morning. But otherwise, we’re just mostly clear and freezing in many spots. Temperatures begin in the lower to mid-30s with a few in the upper 20s. Wind chills will be in the mid-20s and lower 30s. Throughout the day, we’ll see abundant sunshine and a light southwest wind. Temperatures will be much warmer than yesterday, likely into the mid to upper 50s and lower 60s in spots. No rain is anticipated.

local MOBILE, Gypsy Roadside Mobile, @Brunch Box, Big Bad Wolf Truck, Indulge Mobile, & MS Edible Bliss are all at Fairpark, so brave the heatwave today and have something good to eat!

Not near Fairpark today? If you are near the hospital, grab you some Jo’s Cafe across from the walking track.

If you are on the West side of Main, its a great day for some authentic Mexican street food at Taquería Ferrus between Computer Universe and Choice Pawn Tupelo

Tupelo Community Theatre presents “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” by Edward Albee at 213 East Franklin Street Nov. 16 and 17 at 7 p.m. Winner of the 1963 Tony Award for Best Play, the Broadway production of this play was a shattering and memorable experience and proclaimed the author as a major American playwright. The play has been described as a scorching, scalding, revealing and completely engrossing drama and a brilliant piece of writing. The story involves a professor at a small college and his wife who have returned home drunk from a party. The wife announces that she has invited a young couple, an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride, to stop by and the charade begins when they arrive. Ticket prices are $20 for adults and $10 for students. 7:00-10:00
