      <![CDATA[Picnics are great, but if nobody in authority speaks out, Memphis will soon lose five National Historic properties (three listed on the National Register, and two eligible) at the Fairgrounds as demolition is slated to begin during the interim before the special Mayoral election. The Mid-South Coliseum, site of the first integrated venues in the South; the Grand Carousel, the rarest example of hand-carved Philadelphia-style Carousel art; the Zippin Pippin, America's 2nd-oldest example of the Golden Age of rollercoasters; the Women's Building (also known as the Creative Arts Building); and two other vintage buildings on the 150-year-old Mid-South Fairgrounds will be lost forever if no action is taken.
