Memphis on the internet.
Running Low
Storm chaser William Frogge flew drones over the Mississippi River recently to show just how low the water level has dropped. He said the levels are the lowest they’ve been since 2012 and are the third-lowest reading on record. Check his YouTube channel for more details.
#Archie
Cooper-Youngers know Archie. The dog roams the neighborhood streets enough to merit his own hashtag on Nextdoor.
A September post about the dog was still rolling last week. The original post had Archie’s neighbor claiming no responsibility for the dog. The owner’s mother intervened to say the owner had done everything she could and that the Nextdoor posts were hurtful. Commenters offered solutions, got a bit nasty, and, then, called for kindness. Typical day in the Nextdoor neighborhood.
Lil Buck
Memphis’ Lil Buck shows up in amazing and unlikely places. Last week, he shocked the crowd at a Hollywood Bowl performance by Pentatonix. Acting first as conductor, Buck turned to the crowd, did his thing, and was joined by beatboxer/cellist Kevin Olusola.
It left one commenter saying, “They better be careful the stage doesn’t collapse under all that #BlackExcellence!”
