Memphis on the internet.
“Thank you, Trump”
“For the first time in five years, my kids have been able to play in the backyard comfortably,” DeeDee Manning said in a TikTok video over the weekend. “I haven’t heard a gunshot in two weeks.”
The video was labeled “I feel safe … thank you Trump” and had been viewed 345,000 times in two days.
Copter Watching
Memphians have been glued to flight trackers and the skies as helicopters have populated our daily air traffic.
Elizabeth Williams caught the one above in South Memphis, “flying so low you can see the shadow on the street — McLemore-Walker and Mississippi area.”
Are they for ICE or the Memphis Safe Task Force? Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris said he doesn’t know.
“Our administration has received no information about why a military-style helicopter has been circling the city. #FreeTennessee,” he said in a Facebook post last week.
Spooky Time
Memphis Redditor u/delway unveiled maybe the “spookiest Halloween decoration in Midtown?” this week.
“I present to you the clapped-out bumper-less Nissan Altima WITH a drive-out tag custom-made Halloween decoration,” u/delway said.
