To each his or her own on Valentine’s Day observances Sunday that become Valentine’s Day memories with the arrival of Monday.

The Majestic Grille, for instance, had the movies Roman Holiday and Casablanca back to back on the screen of the movie theater turned restaurant.
No sound, but you really don’t need sound for the scene where Audrey Hepburn takes the throne with Gregory Peck and a beatnik Eddie Albert among the press corps at the rope line.
And The Majestic saved The Second Line in Overton Square with a loaner of some champagne after Second Line ran a bit short.
Chef Kelly English thanked the Majestic via Twitter for “saving our sweet Valentine’s Day asses.”

Lucky Catches. Last week I caught a whale. The river was too high to catch this fish, far too much trash churned and turned in its brown rush, far too distracting and suspicious for already suspicious rainbow, much less this wily old monster. I can’t catch this fish. I don’t fish, and people who do fish talk about fish like this, big enough to inspire tales, bigger still each time the tale is told.

From Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck zipping past the Colosseum in “Roman Holiday” to vintage photographs of suit-wearing mods cruising the streets of 1960s London, the word ‘Vespa” evokes a stream of iconic pop culture images.

4. Metro Moto Scoots In Vespa Style - Monday, December 7, 2009

People often tell Linda Casals the Italian scooters she sells make them feel like they’re in a European movie.

It’s a comment she doesn’t get tired of hearing. She promotes the romantic image at Metro Moto, the new Vespa and Piaggio dealership in Memphis. Giant posters of Hollywood legends Angie Dickinson, Henry Fonda, Ann Margaret, Sandra Dee and Clint Eastwood on scooters hang from the walls.
