This week, on “The AM/DM”: A plea may end a saga that made national news, but it’s complicated. And for years, Southern Avenue was neglected or even blighted. And then the Cooper Young Garden Club got involved. Also, three local high school seniors have committed to the Tigers, two from the same school.

On “Sound Bites”: When life gives you pizza dough, make panuzzo. And the “Mushroom Queen” behind Shroomlicious Baby sat down with Holly Whitfield to talk about the ups and downs of her last few years and how eating in total darkness is saving marriages.

On “The Sidebar”: Ashley Hannah Davis considered retiring from dance in 2021. But Machine Gun Kelly, the Prohibition-era gangster born (and later arrested) in Memphis, helped changed her mind — or at least his wife and partner-in-crime Kathryn Kelly did.

And more than 300 people have been charged and indicted federally since the beginning of the Memphis Safe Task Force, U.S. Attorney Mike Dunavant said on the WKNO-TV program “Behind the Headlines.”
