Chris Herrington covers the Memphis Grizzlies and writes about Memphis culture, food, and civic life. He lives in the Vollintine-Evergreen neighborhood of Midtown with his wife, two kids, and two dogs.

It’s a truism that “all politics is local,” but perhaps a current truth is that all politics is exhaustingly national.

So pardon me while I try to get it out of my system, from a Memphis-centric perspective.
