So Much to Do, So Little Time


I'm waiting for the mayoral debate later, and will post commentary immediately afterward.

In the meantime, the Commercial Appeal is running a lengthy and heart-warming series on the rebirth of Stax Studios/Soulsville in Memphis. One problem--the coverage fails to tell the story of how the City Council, back in the 90s, allowed Stax to be razed and destroyed, oblitering its heritage, because they refused to cough up the $25,000 (or $50,000, I can't recall as I write this) needed to save it.

But we can find the quarter-billion to enrich the folks involved with the Grizzlies and their pol pals.

Until next time, that is all.
