Schools Drama
Memphis Shelby County Schools (MSCS) board member Towanna
Murphy aired some grievances on Facebook last week.
“Half” of her fellow board members “harbor animosity towards me due to my stance on specific issues.” She’s “tired of shouldering the blame” for board actions while “they stand idly by.”
The board created its current situation by firing former superintendent Marie Feagins. Board chair Natalie McKinney “undermines the board’s decisions, leading to poor outcomes” and McKinney “often speaks as if she is the superintendent, which is not the case,” Murphy said.
Crackers
This section of the Kroger on Poplar and Cleveland was labeled “future home of crackers.” Reddit hilarity ensued.
Crypt
Two mausoleum crypts at Forest Hill Memorial Park East on Whitten were up for sale last week. After owner Benny Cummins offered a discount and waived some fees, the final cost was $9,600. You really can buy anything on Facebook Marketplace.
