Memphis BBQ chain Tops to ‘yank’ out dead palm trees
Short palm trees planted in front of the Tops Bar-B-Q at 1286 Union were among the restaurant chain’s palms killed by cold weather last winter. Tops installed dozens of windmill palms at most of its 15 Memphis-area restaurants nearly four years ago. (Tom Bailey/Daily Memphian)
