Memphis on the internet.
McKinney Tribute
The Memphis Botanic Garden lit its new Youth Education and Tropical Plant House in blue over the weekend to honor Memphis Police Department Officer Joseph McKinney, who was killed in the line of duty last Friday, and his two injured colleagues.
Eclipsed!
Skywatchers donned glasses and cast eyes toward the heavens last week to watch the eclipse. Many watched in Memphis (like on the Greensward above), where it would reach only a partial eclipse. But many hit the road west to experience the total eclipse, snarling area traffic on the way home.
Burnt-Out P
“Anyone have a clue as to what happened to the letter ‘P’ at the Rental Parking Garage?” Keith Powell asked in the Memphis Airport Watchdog Facebook group.
Glen Thomas, the public information officer for the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority, promptly responded that “there was an electrical fire in the light that caused this. We are working to get it replaced.”
