Memphis on the internet.
Jennifer
Memphians mourned the passing of food writer Jennifer Biggs last week. Friends, family, and colleagues remembered her in photos, stories, and videos. They wrote of her love of people, food, and laughter, all of which were evident in her many columns in The Commercial Appeal and The Daily Memphian.
Tough Tuohy Time
“This is everyone on Memphis Twitter today sharing their personal bad experiences/stories about Leigh Anne Tuohy,” Melvin Purdy tweeted last week. Indeed, the MEMernet buzzed with such stories in the wake of a Memphis lawsuit filed by Michael Oher. The football star claims The Blind Side family tricked him into a conservatorship — rather than adopting him — to profit from his name, likeness, and image.
“As a Memphis bartender who has had to serve the Tuohys before: I hope they are treated by the media and/or courts in the coming weeks/months with *exactly* the same amount of dignity, respect, and kindness that they show service industry workers when they go out,” tweeted @campari_queen_.
Chair?
Memphian Titus James offered a “civil rights chair” for sale on Facebook Marketplace last week for $12,695. Nope. No more information.
