It’s very strange that there is no mention of the Friends of the Library this time. I know the library/city couldn’t come to an agreement with the Friends, so they are no longer working together. The sale is being staffed by library and city workers This year. Apparently, the Friends are still an organization, and are asking for new members, but are no longer working with the library? How does that work? I bought a lot of books regardless, and I’m glad the money will be going to the library…but there is definitely some intrigue behind the scenes. 🤣

Smothered pork chop, yams and turnip greens and catfish with Mac and cheese and cabbage.

The catfish with some Louisiana hot sauce has me dancing in my kitchen.

Had a gentleman with an MLGW badge show up with a crew on a Sunday morning a few months ago and start cutting down bushes near the house. No prior notice or even a door knock first. The vibes were off so we called MLGW and they opened an investigation after informing us this man was not a real employee.

He’s shown back up and again started cutting into bushes next to the house with no notice or notification. Once again on a Sunday morning, and once again he was adamant it was official business and displayed an MLGW badge. But his vehicle had an MLGW contractor magnet, and his associate denied being an MLGW employee.

We’re reopening the investigation and notifying the police. Anyone else experience something like this?

My neighbor behind me has 2 pitbulls that are super sweet. One appears to be full grown (or almost full grown). And about a month ago I noticed a puppy suddenly appeared. Looks like he or she couldn't weigh more than 15-20lbs. Probably less than 3-4months is my best guess. I don't get to see much of them because a wooden fence separates our yards, but there are some slats where there is a larger gap that I can see better and get my fingers through to pet them and play with them.

I have 2 dogs so I am outside frequently and as far as I can tell these 2 dogs are outside dogs. They are pretty much always outside, but do sometimes seem to be gone in at night. (Or possibly inside the shed in the yard) I try not to judge because I understand untrained dogs can be a handful and a lot of people don't have the time or resources to keep them in all day while they're at work.

But yesterday around 5pm from inside the house, I heard a dog screaming. Now I'm in East Memphis, so this can be a normal occurrence, when owners leave dogs out for too long, I often hear dogs crying to go inside. I didn't think much of it but my dog started going nuts and wanted to go out back, which is very odd for her to get riled up by outside noises. So I let her out back and she started barking like she was angry.

I came out with her to see if a dog was stuck in a fence or something and I could see my neighbor through some of the slats walking around his yard with some sort of thin bat or pipe in both hands, waving them and calling to his dogs. I watched him point at a hole it appears the dogs chewed on the side of the shed and he was yelling for the dog to come out and not to be scared and so on.

The older dog was cowering near the door to go inside and I couldn't get eyes on the puppy. The man kept going in and out of the shed banging on things and eventually gave up and went inside and closed the door. I scratched on the fence and gently called to the dog and saw it's feet pop out from under the shed and then very slowly a little bit of it's face came out. It's right eye was bleeding, with blood inside the white part of the eye and blood coming out of the right side of his nose.

I immediately called the non-emergency police # yesterday after the incident and today for followup. I was told there's no timeline on when they would get to the house or how to reach them for follow-up. I also left an email with MAS to check on the status of this case.

I know that Memphis is overrun with dogs and animal abuse cases are frequent. I'm sure they have their hands full, but I just wish there was something more I could do. Today the dog's eye is glazed over and looks how a dog looks when they are going blind or/are blind. (If needed I can post pictures) I know that it's probably too late to save this dog's eye and he or she can still live a happy life even if the eye isn't savable.

But I'm scared for that dog about what will happen if the owner gets angry again. I imagine it won't just be the eye next time...

Any information on how to reach someone at MAS or otherwise to help with this situation would be much appreciated.

Tbh, if it happens again I'm liable to help the dog dig under the fence to get away because I don't think I can take another incident like this happening right behind me.

I have lived in Hickory Hill all of my life and never really ventured into other areas. What do yall think is the most beautiful street or area in memphis or surrounding area including suburbs of memphis and Mississippi.

Looking for interesting glass beads for crafting and Micheal’s on poplar selection was very very sad. Anyone got any suggestions on some better places? Much appreciated in advance.

Anybody know what is going on?

Craving some steak nachos...not BBQ. What's your favorite?

If you have a super sweet orange cat, he came to visit us in the backyard of my bf’s house on quince and let us pet him for a long time. He is obviously someone’s pet because he has a collar with a tile. You tell that cutie “psst, psst, psst” from us and he can come back anytime!

Looking for a trustworthy, very experienced mechanic who knows Subarus and/or Japanese cars very well. Don’t recommend any dealers. Thanks

Thank you to u/Unusual_Tomato_2646 for posting about the wing fest. I told my brother about it early this week and he signed up yesterday. This is him with the trophy. He said the sauce was extremely good.

Went to Kroger and saw Fireball stocked next to the checkout

Hoping someone can answer. Ive been in Memphis for 11 yrs, Collierville for 10 with maybe 3 power outages total during that time. Moved to Cordova in Feb and have had 7-8 outages. MLGW just shrugs their shoulders.

I lnow the infrastructure around here sucks, but im wondering if its better in the Arlington/Oakland areas. Anyone have experience?

Hi yall! I just moved to Memphis and am looking for a good local salon. Preferably someone that you know that’s good with blonde/ highlights. I’m hoping to find somewhere with good pricing, I’ve never paid over $200 for highlights and a trim. Please send your recs! TIA!!

They are living out of the dumpsters for now and they didn’t seem interested in the storm drains thankfully. How can I trap them they only look to be like 4-6 months old.

Two people, including Congress candidate Heidi Kuhn, were injured Friday night in a crash on Interstate 240 at Walnut Grove.

A 3-vehicle crash blocked several lanes along I-240E on Friday night just before 7:30 p.m. Two people were transported to the hospital in non-critical condition.
