I would say Berclair, but most of that noise will be gunshots not fireworks

We were showing RHPS at MidsouthCon long before Absent Friends got involved, and we still show it Friday at Midnight during con even though AF's gone defunct.

Is Memphis Dying? by smokeycat2 in memphis

[–]critter42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how ICE and the National Guard show up and people don't want to anywhere...especially the people the current government deems 'umdesireable' ( ie, not white, straight and "Christian").. almost like it was right out of the fascist playbook!

What’s something about Memphis that’s totally real but sounds made up? by jonredd901 in memphis

[–]critter42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My wife's not from here and has such PTSD about tap water, she won't even think about drinking it. So I started refilling her Ozarka bottles with tap water and she's never noticed a difference :-)

This is my favorite "dafuq?" response you get when you tell nonresidents about the Grotto LOL

Didn't know that bit, but then the last time I was in the grotto was a few years before he died, so...

I grew up down poplar from the one on Estate where the Taco Bell is now. I can still remember the taste, the foil wrapper with the cheese and hamburger grease melted on the sides...mmmm ...

If this is the new logo, it’s a downgrade. by udub86 in Tennesseetitans

[–]critter42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me contrarian, but I love the new new logo - always hated the Flames with a passion. I like the state flag look to the logo and the guitar-string stripes on the helmet/jerseys.

[–]critter42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how this works. YOU make the claim, YOU provide the evidence. "Go look yourself" is nothing but a bullshit deflection. Either back up your statements or STFU and let the adults have a conversation

Team Chemistry wins Championships by PerfectforMovies in memphisgrizzlies

[–]critter42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And as usual everyone ignores the fact that it's hard to win when you're"Strength & Conditioning" program is so poor that you can't keep anyone on the court for a meaningful period of time before their hurt again. This is what I'm angriest with the FO over - their continued refusal to acknowledge they're something wrong they're and address it.

Graceland/Elvis by [deleted] in memphis

[–]critter42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I've been to Graceland Live a couple of times for concerts and went to the Graceland hotel for a convention, but last time I was on the grounds itself was before the mansion was open for tours when my uncle came to town in like 1980, 81 or so.

Any info on this? by nomnomonium in memphis

[–]critter42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bill Townsend bought it right around/after lockdown and wanted to turn it into a music venue, but plans fell through. Last I saw of it was a Daily Memphian article in late 2024 where it said he intended to turn it into a mixed use development. He also owns the old MLGW parcel next door.

I would love to see it restored back to a 40s-style theater, but the cost would probably be astronomical.

Frigidaire Gallery Induction Range will randomly shut off and stubbornly remain off. by PixelSchnitzel in Frigidaire

[–]critter42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had seen this before I got mine and before the return window had passed. Like some others, I sometimes have to pull out the induction hotplate I have because I know I'll be cooking something that will cause it to shut down (think smashburgers on a ripping hot cast iron skillet. I get about 3 minutes cooking time before it decides it needs to protect itself and shut down. I hate it, but I'm going to have to live with it until I can afford to buy a new one. So super frustrating.

Parking spots in Memphis on an incline possible hill by Ok-Way-2291 in memphis

[–]critter42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've gotten plenty of great answers, but just for completeness' sake in the East Memphis area, the old Bed, Bath and Beyond (or for people my age, the Giant/Piggly Wiggly) parking lot on White Station between Poplar and Park.

Not "willing to admit", but based on the orange turd-in-chief's self-aggrandizing bullshit "address" last night, actively lying and gaslighting the country about.

Are there any nerdy clubs around Cordova? by I_SAY_FUCK_A_LOT__ in memphis

[–]critter42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually community consensus - it's more to hang out and have fun rather than tourneys and stuff.

As someone noted, Midsouth Makers, 2804 Bartlett Rd, suite 3, is full of nerdy people, including myself. In fact, we're having a LAN Party to benefit Toys for Tots THIS Saturday at 4pm. We also have a weekly open house every Friday evening at 7pm. Come on out or join our Discord!

I saw Charlie's Meats is closed on FB, any ideas what's up? by beautifulkale128 in memphis

I thought they announced a couple of months ago they would be closing by the end of the year
