Memphis on the internet.
IKEA
The MEMernet bummed out with familiar hilarity as IKEA announced the May closing of its Memphis store.
“We can’t have nothing,” Shawnya Glynne posted to Facebook, summing up the general bum-out-tery.
Some predicted the building was fated to be a Spirit Halloween. “Y’all can’t take anything serious … Now who made this!?,” the Town of Cordova posted.
Side Street Drama
Posted to Facebook by Bey Saterica Cotton
Side Street Grill was ground zero for the best, most delicious MEMernet drama last week.
We won’t name names to pile on or anything (but I guess we’re OK publishing that photo? OK, Flyer.) But a woman Facebook-Lived her confrontation with her cheating husband and a woman the couple met at a casino. It was the hottest fire on the Memphis internet last week. Period.
A Nice One

Alec Ogg found an easel on the sidewalk. Then, he found a piece of blue-green glass. Then, he found some old magazines. He decided to use the easel for his first oil painting — a woman from one of the magazines, holding the glass he found.
He’s now selling the piece for $5,000 to raise money to cover some vet bills of animals that need help.
