Update on Midtown Overlay District

By Staff on July 1, 2010

By Aaron James
The Memphis Regional Design Center (MRDC) remains hard at work with their efforts to create a Midtown Overlay District (MOD). As you may recall from our February article, the MOD represents proposed zoning restrictions that would supersede current, more generalized, zoning requirements. The MRDC has held a number of meetings over the last [...]

History comes alive in Frost/Nixon portrayal

By Kristan on March 1, 2010

By Andrew Moore
British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow laughing-stock. Richard M. Nixon has just resigned the United States presidency in total disgrace over Vietnam and the Watergate scandal. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of in-depth interviews in order to extract an apology from Nixon. The cagey [...]

Midtown Overlay District Support

By Patrick on January 30, 2010
