MEMernet: A New, Old Sign, Some Slacker, and Best of Memphis

The Silver Horse Shoe Motel sign has a new home, Reddit serves some blistering honesty, and vote now for Best of Memphis.

Memphis on the internet.

It’s a Sign

A piece of Memphis past is now part of Cooper-Young’s future.

The eagle-eyed Hunter Demster spotted a crew installing the above sign in Cooper-Young last week. Keen-minded commenters remembered that the sign, and the Silver Horse Shoe Motel it belonged to, used to be on Summer Avenue. That was all confirmed (as most Memphis history things are) with a link to a Memphis magazine story about the hotel by our company’s own Vance Lauderdale.
