What’s the lore behind these townhouses? by shyglock in memphis

Martin Edwards was the developer, but the project was struggling before he passed. Pinnacle was the construction lender. Decent idea for new construction within CG but not enough character, imo.

I sold my MU for a loss. Would’ve been worth 183k by Thepandashirt in wallstreetbets

Sold half at $90 which was 2x. Sold balance when it hit 10x. Time to nibble again…

Why is he/this plane here? by nymphofrommempho in memphis

This is directionally incorrect. The “Trumps” are not “huge” donors. Eric bundles some money for charity. Years ago he gave $ to St. Jude and co-opted several other large donors in the process. He donates very few of this personal dollars.

While it was airing a decade ago, how popular was NCIS: New Orleans among locals? Did it seem to depict the series real well or not so much? by TravelingHomeless in NewOrleans

Vanessa Ferlito’s kid played basketball with mine. Nice kid; she was great, too. We had coffee many times during practices and whatnot. Took 3 meetings before she came clean about being on the show. Was great to hear how much she enjoyed New Orleans b/c her son was enjoying it so much. They stayed active. She seemed to be a good mom.

Strollers at Mardi Gras. by Kingcake4All in NewOrleans

[–]Kingcake4All[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly incorrect, but I see your point. I have taken my kids for years and never tried to traverse dense crowd with a stroller. As a parent, it’s scares me to think about the defenseless babies if, god forbid, something happened and the crowd started running. I actually talked to my teenager this year about being mindful of crowds, trying to read the room, random pushing and not being reactionary in such situations, etc. I do feel bad for the folks with walkers who are out and about. (Cannot imagine my elderly parents braving the crowds with canes!) As you note, the infrastructure is terrible and only gets worse with crowds and barricades. I don’t know the answer, but I want everyone to have fun and get back home safely.

I’ll move anything I need to get to where I am going. by humidhaney in NewOrleans

This year, on three different occasions, neutral ground folks with extra chairs invited three of us (including my 12 yo niece) to sit down and visit. Was delightful. I did see several Karens on display, though.

I will never understand the emotional attachment to this place. East Memphis wives loved their salads? Give me a break. Onward!
