Mediation at Tom Lee Park hasn't quieted public debate about the future of the Memphis riverfront. Here are a series of observations on what we talk about when we talk about Tom Lee Park. 

As the confused reader response to “not … anti-racist” underscored, this is not a widely familiar term. Sawyer is seeking the mayor’s office, not tenure. That means persuading voters who haven’t sat in a college sociology or cultural studies class in a while, or ever.

With that in mind, this year-in-review often doubles as a kind of year-in-preview: A Memphis 10 look back at some of the most significant Memphis stories and developments (often literally) of 2018, and beyond. 

This past weekend, the Hallmark Channel premiered “Christmas at Graceland,” a made-for-television feature film where country star Kellie Pickler offers key support to the film’s real star: Graceland.
