In this week’s About Town, officers from the Memphis Police Department are building new homes with Habitat for Humanity in North Memphis this weekend. And Rock-n-Romp’s comeback event on Saturday offers attendees a sneak peek at the coming-soon “Baron Von Opperbean and the River of Time” exhibit. Plus, we look at how developers for Northside Square are working to avoid pricing out residents from the surrounding Klondike neighborhood.
