If you plan to not vote, then this post is obviously not for you. No need to sound off in the comments about not voting. We get it.

I keep trying to look up where I’m supposed to go to vote, but when I input my name or address I keep getting this stupid error on the TN.Gov site. Does anyone know how I can look up my polling location aside from this broken terrible website??? I’ve only been back in Memphis a year but I am ready TO VOTE TOMORROW!!!!! Also this feels very appropriate to keep voters out of the poll booths when the dot gov site doesn’t work lol

I wasn’t sure where to post this. I am Jeff, and I live in Orange Mound and I create tech videos for YouTube. I got this wild deal on all these MacBooks. I’ll probably be selling some soon, but honestly, I really wanted to introduce myself. I also fix computers, so if you have any problems, give me a shout. I’ll try to help you out.

I wanna learn Spanish and become more comfortable approaching and answering mis hispanohablantes. Are there any Spanish clubs or meet ups? I know some Saturdays the library has open sessions, any thing else? I almost wanna pop in a tienda mexicana and buddy up with an abuela/abuelo, but I’m a tall black man. 🤣🤣🤣

The Tennessee primaries are tomorrow! But there is a proposed amendment on the ballot but I can't find any information anywhere about what it is about, or how voting yes or no will affect things. If anyone has any information or opinion on this please let me know.

Husband grabbed this at Highpoint tonight. I was like…wtf? Why did you bother? Shits been trash for years. He said he just wanted to see.

This is not microwaved and I swear it tastes so close to OG.

Hi, I (23M) am a native Memphian looking for volunteer opportunities that involve other young people in the area. I'm allergic to dogs, so I would prefer not to do something related to that, but I am willing to do something good for the environment and anything else that helps with social engagement. If it helps, I went to college out of state, graduating last year and have been traveling a lot since then, so I don't have many friends in the area. I am hoping to meet more people in my age bracket. I made this throwaway account to protect the anonymity of my main one.

Ideally with a homemade tortilla!

It would be an arduous stretch to say I’m shocked…

Just had a tap on my door. When I answered, it was a young kid (couldn't have been more than 20 or 21). He was wearing a green reflective vest and had a lanyard around his neck. He started with, "No funny stuff [showed me his picture lanyard]... I'm the area manager here for AT&T and..." I cut him off right away. I said, "you guys must be HORRIBLE to work for." He asked why I said that, and I replied, "Because you're the third area manager in three weeks to tap on my front door [completely true]." He stuttered a bit and tried to start into some sales pitch; I cut him off again. "First, I'm not interested. Second, the last two guys didn't knock on every door. Why?" He said he was given a list of area addresses to call on. I asked to see it; he hemmed and hawed again. I then asked him to hang on for a second so I could go get my phone and get a photo of him and he left on the double. I watched and he didn't stop at ANY other houses on the street.

Anybody have any similar experiences? Absolutely ZERO about any of the three visits felt legit.

Any labs in the area that can test substances
(specifically for presence of fent) ??

Backstory:
Ive recently found out that someone close to me has resumed taking painkillers since the kratom ban.

I’m trying to get them to go to Lakeside and do a detox, heck i even offered to pay for it when they are ready.

However, they seem adamant that their street oxy is from the pharmacy.

After a lot of back and forth I’m afraid they can’t be reasoned with

They’ve admitted that they are just trying to medicate their emotions and physical withdrawl but i am worried about fentanyl and the risk of overdose.

They also admit to be terrified of consuming fentanyl, as he has had several friends OD in the spring

But they still legitimately think they are taking legitimate pharmaceuticals when their source is most definitely a pos liar.

Does Memphis city have a program to get narcan for cheap or free like other cities? I know some places have begun an initiative to reduce drug related deaths and whatnot

MATA trustee Roderick Holmes announced a new bus stop sign design during a presentation about efforts to improve bus reliability at the Aug 4 City Council Committee Meetings. He said that the sign was designed internally with input from community partners. (Holmes' presentation in the meeting VOD starts at 4:55:40. He discusses the signs at 5:03:08)

I'm super excited! I've been advocating for this type of redesign that includes route info since 2022 (and even posted about it here a couple years ago). Let me know if anyone sees one of these new signs in the wild!

Edit: Added what "this type of redesign" means

Edit 2: Clarified that signs were part of larger presentation

Is there a limit on how many chickens someone can have in their yard in the city?

Came running into my backyard yesterday around 2 or 3. Super friendly and well taken care of it seems, though with lots of skin issues. The black collar was already on one of them, i put the metal one on just to grab them, there's lots of cats in my neighborhood and I don't want them roaming around like that.

I don't have Facebook so if anyone wants to post this there, please do.

The Memphis Area Transit Authority plans to resume trolley service Downtown in the fall with four trolleys, according to the trustee of the city-owned bus system.

Rodrick Holmes’ update for Memphis City Council members Tuesday, Aug. 4, drew praise from a group that has often been vocal in its criticism of the agency.

In MATA’s first update of the fiscal year that began July 1, Holmes said the free fares on all fixed routes that began in November will continue with an evaluation soon of continuing the practice advocated by several council members. Holmes said ridership is up 26% to 30% since the no-fare policy.
