Memphis on the internet.
Sassy Stolen Song
Memphis troubadour Jeff Hulett turned out a gut-wrenching tune of loss and disappointment last month.
“Did you hear about Sassy girl?” he sings in a new song on Soundcloud. “The 250-pound statue of a neighbor in Cooper-Young.”
In one of the most Memphis things ever, Hulett’s song details the recent theft of Sassy, a beloved Sasquatch statue stolen in the neighborhood.
Tweet of the Week
“Happy Women’s Day to all the intelligent, beautiful, courageous, kind, and strong women out there,” MGLW Memphis, a parody account, posted to X last week. “And also Marsha Blackburn.”
That smell
Neighbors on the Ring app wondered about/were grossed out by a “strange smell” all over Memphis last week.
From Cordova, across Midtown, and into Downtown something smelled “like manure or something sulfuric.” Ring users blamed “mulch, just mulch”; maybe something they stepped in; Bradford pear trees in bloom; Memphis Light, Gas & Water activity; a sewage leak; a gas leak; a cat; and, to one neighbor, “Memphis tends to stink.”
