While M.L. King Boulevard pulsates Strut style tonight, two adjacent locations will offer additional entertainment and one even the chance to tie the knot.
* Lindsay Street Hall, corner of M.L. King and Lindsay, is inviting strutters to join its Clean Restrooms and Cold Air Tour from 5 p.m. to midnight. Cost is $5 for the potty pass.
Music starts at 5 p.m. with the Texas blues and funk stylings of Ridin’ the Pine. Owens Barbecue will sell its specialties, and Ultimate Cycle will have a bike show.
Dr. Mark Sandilands, who often performs wedding ceremonies at the Hamilton County Courthouse, will be on-site to handle vows and vow renewals during the evening. The Strut is the kickoff for a regular weekday wedding gig for Dr. Sandilands at the music hall. Call 755-9111 for more information.
* Meanwhile, Chattanooga Market will host a Plaza Party at Miller Plaza, MLK at Market and Cherry streets. From 4 to 8 p.m., strutters can enjoy ready-to-eat foods, beer and select market vendors. Performing on the Miller Plaza Stage will be Mark “Porkchop” Holder at 5 p.m. and The Breeze Kings at 6:15 p.m.
