New Uptown parking lots may pave way for St. Jude expansion
A demolition crew removes a former auto repair shop at 710 N. Parkway on Tuesday, Aug. 27, to make room for parking lots. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital wants to build – and use temporarily for six years – lots where construction workers, vendors and others could park. The workers are helping build a massive St. Jude expansion that will pour billions of dollars into the local economy. (Mark Weber/Daily Memphian)
