By Laura Johnson It’s hard to drive down Evelyn Avenue in the daylight without noticing Karen Capps’ orange bungalow. The first thing that pops into your mind when you see the wine bottle statues, ceramic sculptures, and broken electronics scattered amongst the neatly organized chaos that is her landscaping is that an artist lives in [...]

I don’t know about you, but I have never been so excited to see the pages of the calendar turn to March. Although this time of the year means windy days, I’m more than happy to have wind versus snow and ice. After a winter like this maybe we should pick up the neighborhood and [...]

By Leslie Thompson In 2003, I spent my Thanksgiving holiday in Memphis. This was not my first trip to the Bluff City. I had visited once as a child, but the only thing I can recall from that trip is a hazy memory of the “Jungle Room” at Graceland. On my second trip, I spent [...]
