Memphis on the internet.
Reminiscin’
The MEMernet mourned the old CK’s Coffee Shop at Poplar and Belvedere last week. The restaurant closed in February and its building was razed last week. The Daily Memphian reported the site will become a Scooter’s Coffee.
Many people took photos. Some took home bricks and other bits. Jamie Harmon, the well-known Memphis photographer? He took home the CK’s sign.
Slicin’
It’s hot. Pools are open. In Memphis, this means slicing. And everyone wants to see, apparently.
Three TikTok videos shared this month by Memphian Sean Odigie showing that uniquely Memphis part of Black swim culture have collectively racked up more than 4 million views so far.
Treadin’
The most popular specialty license plate in Tennessee is the one showing the Gadsden Flag, the Tennessee Department of Revenue announced on Twitter last week. More than 28,900 of the plates have been issued yielding nearly $479,000 for the Friends of Sycamore Shoals State Park in Elizabethton.
