Memphis on the internet.
Paint
Some folks gently lost their minds recently as a crew was spotted painting the bricks of the former Nineteenth Century Club. The enormous mansion has been home to several restaurants lately and is now taking shape to become Tekila Modern Mexican.
Memphis Heritage said the move was the “last straw” and that the paint job will likely get the property removed from the National Register of Historic Places. One on the Memphis Masonry Preservation Society Facebook group suggested a protest.
Donuts and Such
By now you’ve likely seen the video of a group of people (armed with pistols and rifles) brashly shutting down a stretch of I-240 to do donuts. It was one of several insane Memphis events caught on camera recently, including a theft raid on a gas station, people looting a FedEx truck, and a fight at Top Golf (below).
“This why I don’t do much in the inner city part of Memphis,” u/_kylanbrown said on Reddit. “I’m 20. I wanna have fun but Memphis just ain’t the place.”
Quick PSA
“This Tuesday someone got caught crankin’ the hog at a popular local coffee shop (you can probably guess which),” u/skeleton_booger said on Reddit. “If you’re getting coffee keep an eye out for The Stroker.”
