What Daily Memphians think*

“Ah yes, nothing says ‘moral panic’ like a liquor store near a church — because clearly, Jesus turned water into wine with a permit and at least 1,500 feet away. … It’s 2025. Let the people buy their cabernet next to a candle aisle. We’ve got bigger problems. We all could use a good drink these days.” — Paul Koltnow about New East Memphis liquor store kicks off spirited fight


“Pretty huge!! … We can look up in 20 years and remember these three companies coming to town, and changed Memphis for the good in an amazing way.” — Michael Rushing about Google plans data center in West Memphis


“These guys just continue with amazing and fun ideas!” — Evan Winburne about ‘Movie night for the whole city’ coming to a screen near you
