And when he comes to Memphis he complains that the dry rub is too dry? And leaves without visiting Paynes?

Sheesh.. what's next someone from North Carolina complaining that we don't put enough turpentine on our possum for their liking?

It would be great for those of us who haven't lived here all our lives. It's really difficult to find out about these kinds of hidden gems in this town.

The block of stone shown in the picture was over the front door of the original 1908 classroom building. Right above it was the original name of the school -- Elizabeth Messick County High School. The area where Messick was (and is) was annexed into Memphis in 1930, and Messick became part of the Memphis City Schools at that time -- but the "County High School" remained on the front of the building until the building was town down in 1981.

As for Overton Square, you must not spend as much time in Midtown as your name implies, because if you did you would see just how busy the businesses in the area are. The south side of Madison definitely needs to be invested in, but invested in and razed are two different things entirely.

The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Overton Square is very much alive and full of potential. There does appear to be some issue with the Fisher properties North side of the street.

I would say that the only real bottom line here is that too often we like to make pronouncements about the real bottom line before we do a thorough investigation of what's on the preceding lines.

This is how I used to pick up women at The Cockeyed Camel.

Fairgrounds redevelopment estimate: $175 million

And out of $260 million, nobody can strike a deal to keep the Pippin & Carousel in the center of it all? Insane.

It only makes since to me to consolidate everything. We could eliminate some positions, expand on things that are working, and get rid of those that aren't. It seems to me it could also mean better representation. If the charter was drawn up properly we could, and should have, smaller council/commission districts more indicative of the actual neighborhoods represented, thereby diluting the traditional power brokers' power. Well it all sounds good in theory anyway.
