2. Commission Receives Schools Financials - Monday, May 06, 2013

Shelby County Commissioners formally get the financials of Shelby County’s two public school systems Monday, May 6, in an action that is not expected to generate much debate.

5. Midtown Utopia - Monday, September 24, 2012

Of Memphis’ tales of humble beginnings, of which there are many, the fluctuating renaissance of the Cooper-Young neighborhood is certainly compelling throughout.

The area has cycled from its 19th century roots to 1970s crime and neglect to its present-day status as one of the largest historic districts in the Southeast, a magnet of all ages and walks of life. All thanks to individuals and organizations that wouldn’t settle for sub-par quality in their tiny town within the bustling Bluff City.

7. Social Media, Mobile Tech on the Rise for Weddings - Wednesday, October 05, 2011

8. Priming to Improve Your Business - Tuesday, August 02, 2011

Knowledge is stored in an associative manner. In plain English, that simply means pieces of information that somehow relate to each other are linked in your brain. For example, if I say the word Graceland to most longtime Memphis residents, it will probably trigger a series of linked thoughts: Elvis, Lisa Marie, airplane, stone fence, graffiti, Whitehaven, tourists, and so forth and so on.

9. Beer Pairing Events Brewing in Memphis - Friday, July 08, 2011

Local chefs and restaurateurs are hoping to show more people that beer pairs up just as well, and in many cases better, with fine food as wine has traditionally been known for in the past.

Steve Barzizza, sales manager at Southwestern Distributing Co., has helped to arrange many of the beer pairing nights at various restaurants around town.

10. Fan Friendly - Tuesday, September 07, 2010

The Mid-South Fairgrounds may be the most unlikely landscape for a civic project that has succeeded in catching the eye of skeptical Memphians.

But it isn’t the architectural renderings of water-colored citizens strolling in the glow of a possible future that has our attention. It’s what Memphians don’t see when they drive by the fairgrounds that has their attention.

11. Venice Tile Founder Emphasizes Variety, Selection - Monday, March 01, 2010

13. Biotech Players Recognize 'Survival of Fastest' Idea Using Aerotropolis - Wednesday, January 02, 2008

While talk of biotechnology in Memphis evokes images of brilliant people peering down microscopes, when it comes to job creation, a better image is the FedEx Express sorting hub. Thousands of times each day FedEx package handlers load boxes of surgical instruments, medical devices and tissue samples to be delivered around the world. Elsewhere in the hub, others are off-loading the same things for processing in Memphis.

14. 'Close-Knit" and 'Well-Planned' Become Suburban Mantra - Monday, March 20, 2006

A good title for a book about real estate development in Shelby County might be "The Rise and Sprawl of the American Dream."

One chapter could touch on how well-manicured suburbs like Germantown and Collierville have become magnets for growth. Another could show how those growth patterns have carried a few unwanted side effects, such as cookie-cutter subdivisions and retail strip centers.
