The AM/DM podcast: The State of the City and your relationship

By , Daily Memphian Published: February 09, 2026 6:36 AM CT

As the week begins, local government is back to work, with the Shelby County Commission back to its regular meeting schedule. Plus, Memphis Mayor Paul Young will give the annual State of the City address Tuesday. 

But the thing you may want to note early in the week is something happening later in the week: Valentine’s Day. It’s on a Saturday this year, so get your dining reservations early. 

As always on Mondays, newsletter editor Bianca Phillips joins us to talk about it all.
