Re: “Old Signs from the TROPICAL FREEZE! Wow!”
Devin, did the Tropical Freeze "become" the Roy Rogers, or was it demolished and rebuilt as a new place entirely? That seems to be part of the mystery here. You can see remnants of the original stone wall that once stood behind the building, but I'm not sure if any other parts of the complex remain on the site.
Re: “Books I Should Read”
A pair of outstanding true-crime books: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and The Devil in the White City. And (sorry to be so morbid) but the real (and actually more amazing) story that served as the basis for Jaws, called Close to Shore.

Dammit, Susan. Next time, TELL ME before you snap my picture while I'm eating my lunch. I really look like hell here!
Re: “Dividing Lots”
When Mr. Moss refers to certain property as "a ditch" and also mentions a "house in disrepair" is he talking about the Lauderdale Mansion? I'm doing the best I can, but when hoot owls sweep through the upstairs hallways and a family of badgers takes over the parlor, well it's just a damn mess, that's all I can say.
Re: “A Visit to Wayne's Candy Co.”
I recently opened a branch office there, and now my desk is so covered with candy wrappers that I can't get any work done. Not that I planned to do anything but eat candy all day long anyway.
Re: “Memphis' Trampoline Pits”
Chipskip, PLEASE send me some photos of those Tropical Freeze menu boards. I'd love to see them and post them on the blog. My email address is: askvance@memphismagazine.com
Many thanks!!!!!
