Memphis on the internet.
Kids not alright
Call them the “Blue Kids” or the “Big Kids,” but one of those big blue statues on the Vollintine-Evergreen Greenline was vandalized — partially burned — last week.
An eyewitness said they spotted two people near the statues last Monday morning. Investigators said an accelerant — probably lighter fluid — was used to start the fire.

Finally Finch
“Work on the Larry Finch Plaza will be completed this fall,” tweeted University of Memphis President David Rudd. “Here’s what it’ll look like (and that’s not the statue just a place holder!).”

Delta, Delta, Delta
The Memphis subreddit roasted this year’s Delta Fair, especially as the Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus sweeps across the land.
“More true than ever this year,” wrote original poster u/trailsonmountains.
“Truth in advertising,” wrote u/MatttheBruinsfan. “They should have set it up in a hospital parking lot instead.”
“One of the 901 Day events is called Exposure,” said u/scd73. “Terrible choice.”
