Memphis on the internet.
Worst of the Worst
Memphis topped the list of CityNerd’s top 10 worst transit cities, “where taking the bus or rail may just crush your soul.” (Hat tip to u/Carpet-Early on the Memphis subreddit.)
Channel host Ray Delahanty, a transportation planning and engineering consultant, said the Memphis Area Transportation Authority had to have “the single least legible major-city bus system in the U.S. When I drop into [Google Maps’] street-view I can barely tell where the bus stop is.”
Lucinda and Bonnie
Some “dumb f*ck” heckled Lucinda Williams and Bonnie Raitt during their performances at the Orpheum Saturday, according to Memphis Redditor u/12frets. The heckler allegedly made fun of Lucinda’s speech (she had a stroke last year, says 12frets) and yelled to Bonnie “what’s in that cup” she was drinking from before a song about her struggles with sobriety.
“I know it was very important to you to be as much a part of the show as the people on stage, but you’re neither funny or insightful,” said 12frets. “These artists deserve better.”
Cool Shot
“As the sun sets on Memphis like the Serengeti,” said Frasier Seinfeld on Twitter.
