Julie N. Pierotti with richard j. alley

he Dixon Gallery and Gardens celebrates its 40th birthday this year. Julie N. Pierotti, the newly named Martha R. Robinson endowed curator of the Dixon, has not yet seen as many milestones, making her one of the youngest endowed curators in the country at 32. Robinson was a longtime supporter of the museum, a trustee in the 1980s and ’90s, and an advocate of the collection of nineteenth-century French paintings. Pierotti grew up in Memphis and visited the museum regularly, both with family and on school field trips.

As the exhibit “The Impressionist Revolution: Forty Years of French Art at the Dixon” came to a close at the end of last month to make way for the current show, “Henri Guérard and the Phenomenon of the Artist’s Fan in France, 1875-1900,” I sat down with Pierotti in the Mallory/Wurtzburger Galleries among works of local contemporary artist Carlyle Wolfe to talk about curating, favorite works of art, Martha Robinson, and what might just be the most scenic workplace in town.

What does a curator do? A curator is somebody who assembles objects to tell a story. I’m fortunate enough to work here where we have such incredible objects to tell such incredible stories. I’m also in charge of the care and interpretation of our permanent collection, so all the labels you read when you’re at the Dixon, I’ve either written or had a hand in writing. So I do a lot of research and writing. How might the objects tell the story? The way we have the objects put together determines what story we’re trying to tell, so sometimes we put a lot of pictures of people together in one room or we’ll have a bunch of seascapes in one room, or we’ll just have works by Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro in one room. We’re always trying to extract the maximum value out of our collection and tell different stories and let people know different things. You don’t just come here once and learn all you can and never have to come back again, you can always come back and learn something new. What’s the reward of working at the Dixon? Everything you see when you come here, a lot of hard work went into it. But it’s hard work that doesn’t feel like work, it’s almost like a calling. You are part of something, you are part of helping people experience art and they can learn from that, they can escape from their life through art, they can get inspired to create art themselves. It’s an honor to get to do what I do.

Julie N. Pierotti

And the environment isn’t too shabby either. I use this example all the time: My husband’s an accountant and for a long time worked in a cube, and I get here and I’m surrounded by priceless works of art and beautiful, changing gardens. I see these

works of art every single day and every once in a while I’ll stop and I’ll see something new. Sometimes just looking at a painting one way in a certain spot can totally change your opinion of it. I have those kinds of experiences every day; it’s the privilege of the job. Professionally, what does it mean to have your position endowed? In the museum world, to be a curator with an endowed position is a really big honor. It really just shows how much people support your institution and, in particular, the curatorial project enough to put some serious financial backing behind it. For the institution on a day-to-day basis, it takes my salary out of the yearly operating budget and gives some relief to the budget, which is always helpful. And personally? For me to be the first of many curators to hold this position is a great honor, almost like a leap of faith that they thought that, at this very time, when I’m the curator, that it would be a good time for this to happen. It’s a vote of confidence; I have a support base here. Can you tell us about Martha Robinson? She passed away in 2003 and I started here in 2007, so I never had the pleasure of meeting her. But of course we have a lot of longtime supporters here who have told me stories about her, and I know she was a lovely woman. I think more than anybody, she had this great vision for what a curator can do and what a museum can do with its collections. Did you visit the Dixon as a child? I did. I grew up going to schools here so we would come here on field trips, and I have memories of my family coming here for certain things. I have one really clear memory of coming here when I was in high school, and the education director gave us a really good tour; a light bulb went off and I thought, “I’d like to do this.” How was that interest sustained? I was always interested in art and not ever so much in creating it, but learning from it, studying it. I went to St. Agnes and took an art history class there and just loved it, so when I went to Ole Miss I started as an art history major and just stuck with it. When it was my senior year, I thought I’d just keep going in school and went to Vanderbilt for graduate school in art history. And how does that lead to curating? I don’t think I ever had that long of a vision, it was something that just kind of happened. I started here in 2007 as a curatorial assis-

tant and have worked my way up. Kevin [Sharp, museum director] really had a great vision and still does for what the Dixon can be and should be doing, so he placed a really high emphasis on exhibitions. Right when I started I worked on an exhibition called “Regional Dialect” that opened here in 2009 and traveled to six other museums. I got to publish a book two years after I started here, which was a thrill. What can you tell us about the current exhibit of painted fans? We’re looking at this really short window of time — 25 years — and in this 25 years there was this huge interest in painted fans. Artists took great interest in decorating fans — artists like Edgar Degas and Paul Gauguin and Jean-Louis Forain. Henri Guérard was an artist who was in this circle and he championed the format. It was this great, brief, exciting period where artists were experimenting and were influenced by Japanese art, which was flooding into Paris at the time. What does it take to put such an exhibit together? It’s an international show that’s a big deal, and we published a catalogue to go with it. It has about 45 painted fans that we drew from our collection and from public and private collections across the United States and in Europe. We started talking about this show in 2013 and got it on the calendar, and that’s a quick timetable. Some exhibitions take five or six years; it just depends on the works of art that you’re trying to get and what kind of catalogue you’re going to publish. Do you have a favorite work among the Dixon’s collection? Sometimes it’s like picking favorites among your children, but there are certainly works of art that speak to me more than others. Our Sargent [Ramón Subercaseaux in a Gondola, 1880] is an amazing work of art that has inspired me since the day I got here; it’s just totally different from anything else you would imagine a John Singer Sargent painting would be. And then our Renoir, The Wave, is a painting that, when I first got here I didn’t get what all the fuss was about, but I’ve grown to love it as I’ve come here every day. The Dixon turns 40 this year; what’s in store for the next 40 years? In 2015 we did some improvements to the facility. We’re starting to think really long term about the collection, about the institution, about the facility. We want to expand our reach to this community but also to the country and around the world, too.

s u p e r s ta r d o m w a s the Circle G Ranch in Mississippi.

by shara clark n a recent Saturday in July, just before sunrise, the sky began to shift its hue as the first hints of light crawled over the edge of the earth. I was driving south on Highway 301, wanting to re-enact, as best I could, a moment Elvis Presley experienced in that same early hour of a winter morning in 1967. Crossing over Goodman Road between Horn Lake and Walls, Mississippi, puffs of gray clouds against brightening cobalt overhead, I spotted it. Set maybe a mile beyond the road to the east, a towering white cross came into view, nearly hidden by the lush, green boughs of surrounding trees. In front of it, a cluster of geese crowded around a lake as serene as the gently rolling hills on which it sat.

On this day, there was no “For Sale” sign posted on the property, but when Elvis and his crew drove by in February 1967, heading north on Highway 301 — back to Memphis — after a late-night horse-buying excursion, there was. Then, a hundred head of Santa Gertrudis cattle grazed along the sprawling, pristine field. Stables were situated near a quaint farmhouse that faced (a not-heavily-traveled) Goodman Road. It was Twinkletown Farm. And Elvis had a vision. When Elvis had a vision, there was no stopping him.

A MYSTICAL MISSISSIPPI RETREAT

he week before my sunrise journey, I spoke with Jerry Schilling — a member of Elvis’ entourage, the Memphis Mafia, and author of Me and a Guy Named Elvis: My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley — on the phone from his home in West Hollywood Hills (a house Elvis gave him in 1974). I told him I’d known about the Circle G Ranch for 20 years; my mother moved us to Horn Lake in 1996, and the locals had all sorts of stories about Elvis’ ranch days. Rumors swirled that Elvis lost his wedding band in the pasture while horseback riding and that it has been out there ever since, waiting to be found by some lucky treasurehunter. Folks said Elvis had built, by hand, the bridge that crosses over the lake. And a brick barbecue pit on the ranch’s southern end, which at one time featured the initials “EP” on its edges (the “P” has been chiseled away, over time, by fans, but the “E” remains), was said to have been a gathering place for

Elvis and his friends. For those who’ve heard the stories, the thought of the King of Rock-and-Roll spending time in this small Mississippi town riding horses, having barbecues, and staying in a modest farmhouse has always lended to Circle G’s sense of mysticism. “You brought up a wonderful word: mystical,” Jerry says. “I think that was the first impression Elvis had about that ranch.” Elvis’ horse-buying binge began a few months earlier with an idea to purchase a horse for Priscilla for Christmas. He’d asked Jerry, over breakfast at Graceland, if he’d mind if he also purchased a horse for Jerry’s girlfriend, Sandy, so the two of them could ride together. Jerry agreed it was a fine idea, and the two of them set out looking for horses, with Jerry trying out each potential purchase. Elvis didn’t ride much at the time because “the horses ran away with him,” Jerry says. Soon, Elvis began cleaning up Graceland’s then unused barn, and Jerry explains what happened next: “As was the nature of Elvis wanting to share his prosperity and good fortune with his friends — and with everybody — we ended up getting 20 or so horses.” Elvis would eventually acquire his own horse, Rising Sun, which he’d ride often, at Graceland, and later, at Circle G. On that February morning in 1967, during “Elvis hours” (2 or 3 a.m.), Alan Fortas (another member of the Memphis Mafia), Elvis, Priscilla, Sandy, and Jerry had driven out to Lennox Farms in a double-cab pickup truck to purchase a Tennessee Walking Horse for Elvis’ father, Vernon. “We’re driving back

to Graceland, and it’s dawn, and Elvis sees this beautiful white cross overlooking this lake,” Jerry says. Elvis told Alan to pull over. “I know it was mystical to him because this was a time when Elvis was doing a lot of spiritual reading.” Elvis had Alan knock on the door of the farmhouse right then and there. The property’s owner, Jack Adams, who also owned the Twinkletown Airport in Walls, asked $437,000 for the house, cattle, farm equipment, and 160 acres of land. Elvis wasn’t one to negotiate or wait for anything he wanted. He agreed to the price, and within a day or so, his crew began moving in. It was rechristened the Circle G Ranch (“G” for Graceland, according to most accounts, though some say the “G” was for Elvis’ mother, Gladys). Jerry had become friends with Elvis in 1954 over a game of football in Guthrie Park in North Memphis. He’s since had a hand in several Elvis-related projects, most recently the 2016 film Elvis & Nixon, and is currently producing, along with Priscilla, a four-hour HBO special (due out next year) that will highlight Elvis’ strengths as a music producer. “He was really the most underrated producer in rockand-roll history,” Jerry says. You can hear in his tone, in his measured responses, that he adored Elvis. To him, Elvis was more than the superstar the world swooned over; he was his best friend. In the years leading up to his purchase of the ranch, Elvis’ schedule was heavily focused on film; he starred in 21 feature films released between 1960 and 1967. When they happened upon the ranch, Jerry was 25 and Elvis was 32, and what Elvis envisioned for the place would, for a brief time, bring them and the rest of the group together in a way that the trips to Hollywood movie sets never quite did. “He was unhappy with his movie career at the time,” Jerry says. “And he was very much searching for what his purpose in life was, and why he had this fame and what he should do with that.” Elvis was reading everything from the Bible to the Quran to Eastern philosophies. He studied Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi and became a member of the Self-Realization Fellowship, which Jerry says is “actually a beautiful thing that encompasses all religions.” The 1960s also saw the rise of the commune. While Elvis wasn’t a hippie, he liked the idea of people gathering together and living together. He’d already moved several friends — including Jerry — into Graceland, and as lavish as the mansion’s accommodations were, it was a bit cramped for his entourage and their girlfriends and horses. The ranch would allow time in nature, together, away from the pressures of Hollywood and superstardom. story continued on page 37 after sidebar

FUTURE OF CIRCLE G

During my early morning visit to Circle G, it wasn’t hard to imagine why Elvis had chosen the ranch as a refuge. Standing near the lake, all was quiet except for the whirs of occasional cars whooshing down the highway, the murmuring chorus of locusts, and the caws of circling birds. A big pink building (erected after Elvis’ departure; briefly home to a restaurant) acts as an identifying landmark for passing traffic on Highway 301. For a time, the “Honeymoon Cottage” was occupied by a florist, but both the house and the rest of the ranch have sat vacant for years. Good news for Elvis fans: Plans to breathe life back into Circle G are under way. The land was purchased by a group of investors led by Mississippi native Davage “Buddy” Runnels Jr. in 2014. “The goal is to preserve the peace and serenity Elvis and Priscilla felt when they were there,” says Whitney Lee, director of marketing and public relations for the new incarnation of Circle G. Historically significant components, like the barbecue pit and the cottage, will be carefully restored. The cottage will eventually be open for tours, after it is relocated, off Goodman Road, closer to the lake, where a water feature synchronized to music will be installed. Plans also include restoring the stables and establishing a certified equine therapy program to offer mental and physical rehabilitation for special-needs children and veterans with PTSD. An outdoor amphitheater will provide a venue for live music and other events, Lee says, so it can be “a place to celebrate the culture of Mississippi, because Elvis has been a part of shaping that.” The group is now working on city entitlements and required approvals. And while a groundbreaking date has not been set, “I’ve got my finger on the button ready to hit ‘go,’” says Lee. “People have tried to reinvent the ranch over the years,” Jerry Schilling says. “Would I like to see it developed? Of course. It was a big part of our lives; it was a big part of Elvis’ life and Priscilla’s — all of us. It’s a big piece of history.”

AN EXPENSIVE (BUT WORTHY) ENDEAVOR

oon after the purchase of Circle G, Elvis stocked the stables with 40 horses and began buying mobile homes (from Jerry’s memory: for Alan Fortas, Elvis’ cousin Billy Smith and his wife Jo, Stevie and Larry Geller, Joanie and Joe Esposito, Richard Davis, and Jerry and Sandy). He also bought El Caminos or Ranchero trucks (some branded with a Circle G logo) for everyone to get around the expansive country landscape, tractors, and all sorts of gear for their newfound country lifestyle. Within a few weeks, Elvis had spent nearly a million dollars. “It was a beautiful idea and it was really wellmeant,” Jerry says. “But I think it went out of hand. The spending started costing more than the ranch.” In his book, Jerry wrote about that time, “Just before we began our horse-buying spree, Elvis had been sent the script for his next film, Clambake, which had every indication of being his lousiest production yet. I know it just bothered the hell out of him — his music was being messed with, his once-promising film career had been turned into a joke, and he didn’t see any way out. . . . The idea of turning a ranch into a refuge for himself had to be appealing.” And after the initial spending binge was over, it did turn into the peaceful, communal refuge Elvis intended. On May 1, 1967, Elvis and Priscilla were married in Las Vegas. Jerry and Sandy were married six weeks before. After the wedding, “We did a trip to the Bahamas,” Jerry says, “but I would say the honeymoon, for Elvis and Priscilla and also for Sandy and I, was really at the ranch.” Jerry recalls target shooting, frog hunts, and picnics near the lake — “a lot of nice, easygoing, outdoorsy moments.” Along with those who had trailers on the property, other members of Elvis’ core group — including Red West, Marty Lacker, and Mike Keaton — spent a lot of time at Circle G riding horses. Mike McGregor, a professional horseman and saddler, cared for and trained the horses. Jerry’s home movies show Mike doing tricks on Elvis’ horse, standing on the saddle. And Jerry remembers “these little horses that Colonel [Parker, Elvis’ manager] sent Elvis — like Shetland ponies — and me and Richard Davis were trying to stay on them, riding them bareback and falling. We had a lot of fun.” It wouldn’t be long before diehard fans found out about the ranch and showed up in scores to get a glimpse of the star, just as they had at Graceland. Elvis had a 10-foot-high fence erected for privacy. Still, time spent on the ranch was special, perhaps especially for contin u ed on page 10 0

When Ringling Brothers determined that she didn’t have the right stuff to be a circus performer, she found herself in 1977 retired to the Memphis Zoo, where her days ever since have been considerably more predictable and pleasant. Zookeeper Houston Winbigler admits to having a soft spot in his heart for this Memphis grande dame — after all, they’ve been together for nearly 30 years. “Ty” is still a beauty to him, in spite of her many wrinkles, her chubby bottom, and her big ears. She’s now the oldest elephant in North America.

She and her colleagues are among nature’s most intelligent creatures, known for the lifelong bonds they establish with other members of their herds, but their survival is a matter of great concern. Wild populations in Africa are being decimated by poaching and wildlife trafficking, says Dan Ashe, director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This isn’t just an African problem. “Much of the ivory illegally harvested from these elephants ends up in the hands of American consumers, or passes through our ports on the way to Asia and other parts of the world,” Ashe says. “The Memphis Zoo and other accredited zoos and aquariums across the nation play a key role in educating visitors about the problem and how their choices as consumers affect elephants and other imperiled wildlife,” he says.

--- Amanda Hadicke, Elephant Manager at the Memphis Zoo measures, the United States is still considered one of the world’s largest consumers of illegal ivory. World Elephant Day is August 12th. On the following day, Dr. Kate Evans, the founder and director of Africa for Elephants, will give a lecture at the Memphis Zoo, which will also host an Art for Elephants fundraiser on Saturday, August 13th. An assortment of animal art — including elephant footprints and trunk prints, as well as “human-created” pieces —will be up for auction until 2 p.m. that day. For more information, go to memphiszoo.org. Evans is an Englishwoman who has worked with elephants in Botswana and South Africa for more than 20 years. She explains that as a young child she fell in love with these highly intelligent and social animals, and dreamed of working with them one day. Never letting go of that dream, she set up a long-term research project on elephants in northern Botswana and has devoted her life to conservation efforts in southern Africa. Evans works with the largest remaining population of African elephants in Botswana. “Scientists have predicted that the African elephant could become locally extinct in some range states by 2020,” she explains. “Botswana is the silver lining of a very dark cloud. With the largest remaining population and a relatively low human population, elephants [there] are doing well.” The Memphis Zoo has already raised over $15,000 for Elephants for Africa. The zoo has also contributed GPS units, motion-activated cameras, and other items to Evans’ orgranization. A large part of Elephants for Africa’s efforts is aimed towards resolving elephant/human conflicts in Africa, by helping farmers find gentler ways to keep the elephants from raiding their crops.

and trying to encourage children to care about these animals, the largest living land mammals in the world. “It’s a humbling experience to be in their presence,” she says. “Just their sheer size is awe-inspiring, as is the depth of their intellects. They have enormous brains, and have a huge capacity for remembering and learning. We are dealing with 7,000- to 9,000-pound animals that can exude power and gentleness, all at the same time.” Hadicke is afraid that generations to come may never get to see live elephants. “Soon we could be talking about elephants, giraffes, and rhinos, like we talk about dinosaurs. “We share this planet with every living creature; it is not just ours,” Hadicke continues, reflecting on what humans have done to so much of the wildlife on Earth. That is why she is so passionate about her conservation mission — to ensure that the elephants will be here for future generations to cherish. “There is just something about elephants,” she adds. “They find a place in your heart, and they never go away.” 42 • M E M P H I S M A G A Z I N E .

The baby weighed only 5.4 pounds at birth. Keepers cared for the baby for 11 days before he got to meet his mother, who has since embraced motherhood. He and Jahe have since been inseparable.

he Memphis Zoo draws people from all over the world, attracting more than one million visitors annually, according to Kevin Kane, president and CEO of the Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau.

lephants are highly intelligent and sensitive creatures. Tyranza presents her ears delicately through the thin bars of her enclosure, allowing them to be inspected. Keepers oil and moisturize her wrinkly skin every six to eight weeks. Her tusks are brushed and scrubbed daily.

he Memphis Zoo’s Zambezi River Hippo Camp opened in 2016. The new exhibit gives visitors a chance to come nose-to-nose

with a hippo. The water-loving creatures can be viewed both above and underwater, through a thick glass panel. The zoo has hopes the current pair of hippos will mate. Years ago, the zoo earned a reputation as “hippo capital of the world” because of a male hippo at the zoo that sired approximately 25 offspring in his lifetime.

he zoo has four Sumatran orangutans. One of them, Jahe, gave birth to Rowan this past spring. Tombak is the baby’s father. Jahe required a Caesarean section. Keepers cared for the baby for 11 days, but since meeting his mother the two have been inseparable. Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered, so zoo births are essential for their survival.

he Memphis Zoo is one of only four in the United States to have giant pandas on display. The zoo is home to a male, Le Le, and a female, Ya Ya, who are being leased from China.

arilyn, one of the zoo’s reticulated giraffes, gave birth to a leap-year baby this spring. Zoo officials say there are current-

ly fewer than 8,000 reticulated giraffes left in the wild. Giraffes are even more endangered than elephants.

he Memphis Zoo, which opened in 1906, has recently spent more than $90 million renovating and building new, more naturallooking exhibits. The zoo is home to more than 3,500 animals on about 70 acres.

WHO’S WHO

he year began with a blow to the solar plexus as news spread that David Bowie had left our world for a far distant star. Immediately after, stories of his February 1973 visit to Memphis began appearing alongside photos of the glam rocker with local artist Dolph Smith (and son Ben, owner of Tsunami restaurant in Cooper-Young) at the Memphis College of Art. Bowie never recorded here, but Chips Moman, a recording engineer with Stax and, later, American Studios, recorded some of the most culturally significant music right here in the Bluff City. We lost Moman in August of this year, the man whose gifts gave us the best from Carla and Rufus Thomas, Elvis Presley, Dusty Springfield, and Neil Diamond, among so many others. A recording studio is the delicate balance of art and business, and part of an industry that Memphis has excelled in. Just see the names in this year’s issue of Who’s Who — Ward Archer (p. 46), Lawrence “Boo” Mitchell (p. 60), and Jody Stephens (p. 88). Alongside these names are the artists themselves — Julien Baker, Al Green, David Porter, and Jerry Lee Lewis. For a city with so much talent on both sides of the fence, narrowing that number down to a manageable list is a daunting task, yet one that we enjoy every year, as we help you get to know your city just a little better.

WARD ARCHER Founder of Music+Arts Studio and Archer Records. Former ad agency executive who engineered the merger of Memphis’ two largest agencies in 1990 to form archer>malmo, now Tennessee’s largest ad agency, where he served as CEO until 2000. Archer Records also manages the Blue Barrel Records imprint and combined artists include Amy LaVere, John Kilzer, Lily Afshar, Rick & Roy, Motel Mirrors, Tina Harris, the Mighty Souls Brass Band, Caleb Sweazy, Alex da Ponte, and The Memphis Ukulele Band. Recent studio projects include John Kilzer & Kirk Whalum’s “Until We’re All Free” music video, mixing for Grammy-winning engineer Matt Ross-Spang, and 5.1 sound mixing for Jeremy Benson’s just released horror film, Girl In Woods. Serves on the boards of the Indie Memphis Film Festival and Beale Street Caravan radio network. B.A., Rhodes College. MERI ARMOUR President and CEO, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. Has been with hospital since 2007. Helped oversee Le Bonheur’s $100 million fundraising campaign, completion of a $340 million hospital, and recruitment of some of the country’s most sought-after physicians and staff. Le Bonheur has been named one of the “Best Children’s Hospitals” by U.S. News & World Report multiple times. Received a 2014 Ruby R. Wharton Award and the 2008 Children’s Hospital Association Advocacy Award. Named Communicator of the Year by the Memphis chapter of the Public Relations Society of America in 2009. Named YWCA Woman of the Year (Cleveland, Ohio) in 2005, and was a Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow in 2008. Serves as the interim executive director of the Urban Child Institute.

We collect and report our quality through a national registry that is a data repository and benchmarks our physicians against other gastroenterologist throughout the nation. We have years of independent reports that show our quality of patient care is better.

About Value

“Value” considers both quality and cost. Since we are market leaders for quality and are low cost providers, Gastro One oﬀers excellent value. Our group has the most experience, very high patient satisfaction scores, and even though we are the largest GI group in the mid-south we still treat every patient like a member of our family.

hen First Tennessee Bank celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2014, employees paid tribute to Charles Q. Harris, a head cashier who could take credit for the bank surviving to enjoy its 150th birthday. For it was Harris who stayed behind to keep the bank — then known as First National — open during the dreadful yellow fever epidemic of 1878, while employees and owners of other businesses fled our suffering city. For his efforts, Harris was promoted to bank vice president, and when life slowly returned to normal in Memphis, he spent the rest of his days living peacefully in a lovely two-story stone home at 1380 Carr, in the heart of present-day Central Gardens. This historic property is today the residence of Kathy Ferguson was featured in the hit movie 21 Grams. Another was designed by one of our city’s leading architects (and in his day, a well-known author), and her husband, Edward, and it’s only fitting that a house with such and another house was occupied by a German baroness.

Owners: Jana and Andy Lamanna

uilt in 1925, the Work House gets its unusual name from its first owners, Charles and Annie Few Work. According to architectural historian Judith Johnson, who provided much of the information published in the tour program, the family owned C.F. Work & Sons, a woodworking firm that specialized in golf clubs. Kathy Ferguson, in fact, has turned up a 1948 magazine advertisement for the company, which invited readers to “feel the clear click of the club head with woods of persimmon” and reassured golfers that “we have prewar inventories of persimmon golf blocks to ensure prompt deliveries to makers of golf clubs.”

his house is something of a mystery. Although city records suggest it was built in 1903, making it one of the earliest homes in Central Gardens, Ferguson’s search through old city directories shows that no one occupied it for half a dozen years. In fact, she turned up a newspaper article from a small town in Arkansas which indicated that the first owners, a family named Long, were living across the river “because their Memphis home had succumbed to a fire.” At any rate, in 1909, the Longs sold the house to Isaac Sellers, a whiskey sales representative. If the home’s exterior looks familiar, that’s because the two-story home was featured in the star-studded 2002 movie, 21 Grams.

^!+16 The Smith House 1530 p e a b o d y av e n u e

Owner: Dr. Shawn Hayden

his impressive home was designed in 1927 by J. Frazer Smith, an accomplished architect and the author of a classic book, White Pillars: The Architecture of the South. In addition to beautifully crafted residences, his other projects in Memphis included Lauderdale Courts and the original Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital building. The house is actually a duplex, and in the 1930s, one side was occupied by Walter C. Chandler, who served as the city’s U.S. congressman during that decade, before being elected mayor for two terms in the 1940s. Living here with Chandler and his wife was his son, Wyeth, who himself became mayor of Memphis in the 1970s, and later served as a city court judge.

HOME SWEET HOME 1976-2016

or 40 years, Central Gardens residents have opened their homes and other neighborhood landmarks to visitors during the annual tour. Space prevents listing every building featured on previous tours, but these are some of the highlights:

Robinson House (688 S. M c L e a n ) — This was the former residence of religious performing artist Bette Stalnecker, who purchased the set of four 76,000-pound columns from the demolished Goodwyn Institute on Madison and added them to the façade. (2011 tour) Wellford House (205 S. B e lv e de r e ) — This grand home was built in 1903, before Belvedere was landscaped into one of our city’s most beautiful boulevards. The high, terraced lawn is the result of the once-hilly street, then called Arcadia, being leveled. (2005 tour) Beverly Hall (1560 C e n t r a l ) — Constructed in 1905-06, this handsome red-brick mansion, a Central Gardens landmark, is often considered one of the finest private residences in Memphis, located on a shady two-acre lot. The original construction cost was $115,000 — more than $3 million today. (2004 tour)

E.H. Crump House (1962 P e a b ody ) — Built ca. 1908, this was the private residence of “Mr. Crump,” the boss who dominated Memphis and Tennessee politics from 1910 into the 1950s. (2012 tour) The Magic House (295 K i mb rough ) — Built in 1935, this was promoted as the American Legion Magic House because it showcased the latest innovations and gadgets of the day, including fiberglass insulation, an attached garage, and central air conditioning. (2003 tour) Immaculate Conception Catholic Cathedral (1695 C e n t r a l ) — Constructed during the Depression, this stunning Italian Renaissance-style building provides the perfect terminus for Belvedere Boulevard. (featured on various tours over the years) Lloyd T. Binford House (1731 P e a b ody ) — This was home to the president of the Columbia Mutual Insurance Company, but better known as our city’s notorious censor, whose condemnation in the 1950s of seemingly innocent films made Memphis a laughingstock. (2001 tour) Church of Scientology (1 4 40 C e n t r a l ) — Formerly a private residence, the building was converted into the offices of the Church of Scientology between 1997 and 2008.

Prominent members included Isaac Hayes and Lisa Marie Presley. (1991 tour) Rozelle House (1737 H a r b e rt ) — Constructed in 1853 as a plantation house, Rozelle House (along with Clanlo Hall) is one of the two surviving antebellum homes in Central Gardens. Extensive, historically accurate renovations have earned the homeowners multiple awards. (1998 tour) Clanlo Hall (1616 C e n t r a l ) — Tennessee Supreme Court Judge William Harris bought 40 acres from C.W. Rozelle and also built a plantation home in 1853. For many years, these were the two major dwellings in what is now Central Gardens. The Harris Home was renamed by the 1954 owners, who combined the first two letters of their three daughters’ names: Claire, Ann, and Lois. (1997 tour) Lang House (1600 P e a b ody ) — This home was a marriage gift to Frank Lang from his wealthy father-in-law, whose family allegedly were the founders of Four Roses bourbon. (1991 tour) The Wedding House (600 S. M c L e a n ) — Built in 1892 in the Queen Anne Revival style for an executive at the Memphis Appeal, it later was the home of General Sessions Judge James White, earning its name because so many weddings were conducted over the years in its front parlor.

^!+16 The Strong House

581 b e l v e d e r e b o u l e va r d

Owners: Terry Clark and Frank Armstrong

onstructed in 1921, this Mediterranean-style villa was singled out in Memphis: An Architectural Guide “as a low, delicately detailed, classical pavilion offering a welcome respite from the ponderous rhythms of the houses that surround it.” The original owners were Rumina and Amos Strong, a partner in a Front Street cotton company. For a while, the property was occupied by the Strongs’ daughter, a woman with the wonderful name of Creola, who lived here with her husband, Herbert, a teacher at Central High School. In 1971, however, the house was sold to the Baroness Mary McFall de Guzenburg. It’s really not clear where she acquired her title, since Mary, as everyone called her, was actually born in Memphis and attended Lausanne and later Southwestern. But she became an accomplished artist, spending time between Memphis and New York City, where she became a member of the Art Students League.

^!+16 Hillcrest

1554 p e a b o d y av e n u e

Owners: Karen and Tyson Bridge

ne of Central Gardens’ best-known houses, this twin-gabled stone mansion was built in 1907 to serve as the home of two widows, Mrs. Walter Goodman and her daughter, Mrs. John Richardson. Mr. Goodman had been a prosperous businessman, president of the Woods-Chickasaw Company, owner of the Dixie Electro-Magnet Company, and owner of a cotton plantation near Horn Lake. The wealthy widows hired the prestigious architectural firm of Jones and Furbinger — perhaps best known for designing the Claridge Hotel, the Shrine Building, and other local landmarks — to build their grand home.

ankers seemed to prefer Central Gardens. Built in 1909, this was originally the home of Emma Tuther Crosby and Harry Howard. Howard was not only the president of National City Bank, just down the street from Charles Q. Harris’ First National Bank, but also served as vice-president and treasurer of the Reichman-Crosby Company, which manufactured parts for sawmills in the early 1900s. The authors of Memphis: An Architectural Guide, admired the imposing façade of this home, noting its Italianate tiled roof and grateful symmetry.

^!+16 The Oliver House 1355 p e a b o d y av e n u e

Owners: Barrie and Michael Simpson

lthough today it is considered part of Central Gardens, this home was part of our city’s first subdivision, called Annesdale Park, when it was built in 1903. This was an ambitious undertaking, building homes so far away from the central business district (a notion that today sounds laughable) but the developers included such famous Memphis (and street) names as R. Brinkley Snowden, J. Bayard Snowden, and Thomas O. Vinton. The first owners were Ella and John Oliver, who was president of the Memphis Cold Storage Company, the first of its kind in the South, and still an imposing landmark on Front Street. According to Judith Johnson, Mr. Oliver (who has a street named after him in Cooper-Young) originally came to Memphis in 1860 to open a hat shop and after the war he got into the much more profitable wholesale grocery and ice storage business.

MEMPHIS MEANS MUSIC A GUIDE TO THE LOCA L MUSIC SCENE .

MARK EDGAR STUART

by chris shaw

emphis has been a hotbed for talented musicians of all kinds since rock-and-roll was first introduced to the world. We’ve got a little bit of everything here, from legendary garage rock bands to hip-hop moguls who currently have the rap game in a chokehold. We’ve also got some of the best venues in the country bringing in world-class talent to rooms large and small, a plethora of analog and digital recording studios that are sought out by some of the biggest names in the business, and a supportive base of music fans who oftentimes care more about local bands than the touring acts they are opening for. On top of that, we’ve got a record-pressing plant, tons of labels that put local artists first, and a summer series at the Levitt Shell that offers some of the best free concerts on the planet. Now that you know what we’re working with, let’s take a look at more than 20 bands to know in the local music scene. Chris Shaw is music editor of the Memphis Flyer.

On the Rise

ocal songwriter Julien Baker has had the most productive year out of any new Memphis musician, landing spots on festivals like Hopscotch, Coachella, and Austin City Limits. In addition to playing Beale Street Music Festival, she’s been interviewed by everyone from The New Yorker to Pitchfork, and made friends with her idol Sharon Van Etten. Not bad for a songwriter who was relatively unknown until her breakout 2015 album Sprained Ankle took the world by storm. The Band Camino is another young group of musicians who have been making waves outside of Memphis on the strength of their debut EP My Thoughts on You. The band has only played a handful of shows, but with the help of Spotify, their music has reached the masses and landed them shows at Beale Street Music Festival and the Bank Plus Amphitheater. Expect big things from this band next year. Nots has been kicking up dust in the local punk scene for years, but 2016 has been their most productive year yet, having conquered Europe for the second time and already generating buzz for their second album Cosmetic, which drops at the end of the summer.

Punk, Metal, and More

anateees is the Memphis punk band that just won't die. The band has undergone numerous lineup changes with Abe White still at the helm, and their latest incarnation includes bassist Tommy Trouble, a member of the excellent (but now defunct) band Final Solutions. Manateees is currently on a long tour that sees them dipping all the way into Florida before returning home. Aquarian Blood is another punk band that can be found playing the local dive-bar circuit on any given weekend, but their debut album dropping on Goner allows the first chance to take the band home with you. Local weirdo rockers Rickie & Aimee are more of a movement than a band. The husband and wife duo publish a monthly zine, host shows at unconventional spaces, and often feature a large band on stage, including a full choir. The band doesn’t have an album out yet, but if goofy garage rock is your thing, Rickie & Aimee should definitely be on your radar. Evil Army is a band that needs no introduction, as they’ve been playing memorable live shows and dropping new records for quite some time. Their latest album, Violence and War, holds up to any of the

ORI NAFTALY OF SOUTHERN AVENUE JUSTIN FOX BURKS

other material they’ve released, meaning it’s some of the best metal to ever come out of Memphis. Youngsters Dawn Patrol have also been carrying the Memphis metal torch, and the band is currently on a West Coast tour in support of their Police State EP. Dawn Patrol may be young (drummer Kyle Gonzales is still in high school), but the band has a loyal fan base in the Bluff City and abroad.

Rockin’ on the River

outhern Avenue has been on a tear lately, playing regional dates in addition to the morning news and just about every local club. Their brand of Memphis soul music is led by Memphis transplant Ori Naftaly, and sisters Tierinii

Jackson and Tikyra Jackson have the ability to take command of any stage, no matter the size. Marcella Simien can frequently be found rockin’ the house at places like Bar DKDC and Lafayette's Music Room, but the singer’s recent residency at Zebra Lounge has been one of the highlights for the Overton Square piano bar. No matter where Marcella decides to sing, rest assured we are eager to listen. When he’s not planning epic tribute shows for fallen rock legends like Prince and David Bowie, Graham Winchester and his band, The Ammunition, can be found playing any place that will have them. Winchester also frequently sits in for Devil Train, and his weekly performance schedule could make even the most seasoned professional musician blush. Folk singer Mark Edgar Stuart just released another excellent single called “Don’t Blame Jesus,” and Stuart can be found playing shows in Memphis at least once a month.

Hip-Hop Royalty

o Gotti is currently Memphis’ hottest musician, but since he’s been a major-label artist for years, there’s no reason to include him in the “On the Rise” section of this local music guide. Gotti’s latest album, The Art of Hustle, reached number one on the Billboard hip-hop chart, and his latest music videos have included cameos from some of the biggest names in the genre. His yearly parties at Mud Island Amphitheater are also becoming the best local rap concerts

copies of it to his shows. Even if it’s tough to take Time home with you, their live shows are not be missed, as Owen has one of the most powerful voices in the scene.

The debut single from

Rap legend and former member of the original lineup of Three 6 Mafia, Kingpin Skinny Pimp is one of the best-kept secrets of the ’90s gangster rap movement. The rapper now spends his time between Houston and Memphis, but he’s starting to play shows again and recently held a birthday party at the Hard Rock Café, in addition to a memorable show at Bar DKDC. Cities Aviv is another rapper Memphis music fans should be familiar with, as he keeps re-inventing his brand of witty, politically charged hip-hop. His latest track, “Melanin Drop,” received “Best New Track” on Pitchfork, and the MC has concerts planned throughout the summer.

peaking of Graham Winchester, his other band, The Sheiks, has been absolutely killing it as the backing band for Jack Oblivian. Jack Oblivian & The Sheiks recently released what very well could be the best local album of 2016 with Lone Ranger of Love, and to celebrate, the band took Europe by storm on a five-week tour. T ime, the project of singer/songwriter Chris Owen, recently released their second CD, but the album is elusive and only available when Owen feels like bringing

CHINA GATE

Chickasaw Mound should be out soon. Longtime Memphis heavyweights the Oblivians just won’t quit. After 20 years, the band is still going strong, and if their recent show at Newby's was any indication, the old guys have still got it. They hit Europe this summer, but no word of a new record has been spoken. Another new-ish band that deserves recognition is China Gate, a band that formed from the ashes of indie-rock group Berkano. China Gate has been on just about every indie rock show that’s rolled through the Hi-Tone, and a debut record should be coming soon. Dirty Streets has long been a household name for classic rock fans across the city, but these days the band seems to play out of town more than in. They recently conquered Europe, and they’ve got a tour coming up soon that sees them playing Psycho Fest in Las Vegas.

TONY ALLEN — Now and forever, the

Grindfather. Originator of the Grizzlies’ “Grit & Grind” M.O., Allen has been a defensive force for six playoff teams in Memphis, as popular for his eccentric behavior — on the court and off — as for his efforts in guarding the NBA’s top offensive threats.

JOE ALLISON — One of three first-team

AP All-America honorees in the history of University of Memphis football. The kicker drilled 23 of 25 field-goal attempts in 1992 to capture the very first Lou Groza Award.

ANTONIO ANDERSON — The only Memphis Tiger to accumulate 1,000 career points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists. Played for teams that won 137 games from 200506 to 2008-09. Played in more games (150) than any other player in program history. RICK ANKIEL — First starred as a flame-throwing pitcher for the 1999 Memphis Redbirds, striking out 119 batters in 88 innings. After famously losing the ability to throw strikes, Ankiel returned to Memphis as a centerfielder in 2007 and hit 32 home runs in 102 games. A Ruthian tale.

ISAAC BRUCE — One of six University of Memphis football players to have his jersey retired, Bruce set single-season records of 74 receptions and 1,054 receiving yards in 1993 that stand to this day. He enjoyed a 16-year NFL career and helped the St. Louis Rams win Super Bowl XXXIV. Bruce’s 15,208 career yards are fourth in NFL history. STUBBY CLAPP — The back-flip-

JIMMY CONNORS — The tennis legend won a pair of Wimbledon titles and five U.S. Opens. He also made regular appearances at the Racquet Club of Memphis and won four championships here, a record that has stood for more than 30 years. CHRIS DOUGLAS-ROBERTS — One of only three Memphis Tigers to earn firstteam All-America honors from the AP (2008).

DAVID FREESE ALLISON RHOADES

Averaged 18.1 points as a junior for team that reached the 2008 Final Four. One of only four Tigers to score 700 points in a single season. DAVID FREESE — The third-baseman

drilled 26 homers for the 2008 Redbirds, then hit a pair of game-winning home runs in the playoffs to help Memphis win the 2009 PCL championship. Two years later, he hit the most famous triple and homer in St. Louis Cardinals World Series history (in the same game) on his way to MVP honors in the Fall Classic.

MARC GASOL — Our 2015 Memphian of the Year became the first Grizzly to earn first-team All-NBA honors. The two-time All-Star also won the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award in 2013. The contract extension he signed in 2015 secures Gasol as the franchise’s center (literally and otherwise) for years to come.

SPORTS PAU GASOL — Marc’s older brother

earned Rookie of the Year honors with the Grizzlies in 2002 and remains the franchise’s career scoring leader (8,966 points). He was the team’s first All-Star (in 2006) and the 2008 trade chip that brought Marc to Memphis.

AL GEIBERGER — Playing on the PGA Tour’s longest course (Colonial Country Club), the 39-year-old became the first professional golfer to shoot a 59. His second-round lightning strike was enough to win him the 1977 Danny Thomas Classic despite shooting 70 or higher in the other three rounds. STEPHEN GOSTKOWSKI — From

2002 to 2005, scored most points (369) and converted most field goals (70) in Memphis Tiger history. Now kicking for the New England Patriots, he and Hall of Famer Don Hutson are the only men to win five NFL scoring titles.

PENNY HARDAWAY — The greatest basketball player to come out of Memphis, Hardaway earned first-team All-America honors as a Tiger in 1993 before being chosen third in that year’s NBA draft. The graduate of Treadwell High School was named first-team All-NBA as a member of the Orlando Magic in 1995 and ’96. TOM HORNSEY — Punters may be easily forgotten, but not this one. Hornsey played in an era (2010-13) when the Memphis Tigers punted . . . a lot. His career yardage (12,815) is almost 3,000 more than any other punter in U of M history. He did it so well he won the Ray Guy Award and first-team All-America honors in 2013.

Tim McCarver Stadium. The future Royal (and Raider) hit .277 with seven home runs in 53 games with the Double-A Chicks. JOE JACKSON — After setting scoring records at White Station High School, played in four NCAA tournaments with the Memphis Tigers and scored 1,687 points, seventh-most in U of M history. Also ranks fourth in Tiger history with 567 assists. CHARLIE LEA — Having starred at Memphis State, Lea returned home upon being drafted by the Montreal Expos. He went 9-0 with a 0.84 ERA for the 1980 Chicks before making his big-league debut. He pitched a no-hitter for the Expos in 1981. KEITH LEE — The centerpiece of

Memphis State’s 1985 Final Four team, Lee remains the top scorer (2,408 points) and rebounder (1,336) in Tiger history. An AP All-America all four of his college seasons, first-team as a senior in 1984-85.

North Carolina’s powerhouse, then was a key member of the historic 1999 World Cup champions, a team honored as Sportswomen of the Year by Sports Illustrated. DON PARSONS — Played six seasons (2000-06) for the Memphis RiverKings, helping the franchise to a pair of Central Hockey League championships (2002 and ’03). A twotime CHL MVP, Parsons holds the RiverKings’ career record for goals (290) and hat tricks (19). ELLIOT PERRY — Another Treadwell

High legend, Perry is one of only two players to score 2,000 points as a Memphis [State] Tiger. He played in 549 games over a 10-year career in the NBA with seven franchises.

ALBERT PUJOLS — One swing of

a baseball bat got Pujols on this list. He played a total of 14 games with Memphis, but hit a 13th-inning walk-off ho-

PAXTON LYNCH — Quarterback for

the most successful two-year run (19 wins) in University of Memphis history. Led Tigers to victory in the 2014 Miami Beach Bowl, seventh in what would be a program-record 15-game winning streak that included a win over Ole Miss in October 2015. NIKKI McCRAY — After scoring

more than 3,500 points for Collierville High

BO JACKSON — The 1985 Heisman

Trophy winner at Auburn spent part of the summer of ’86 mashing baseballs at

KEITH LEE U OF M ATHLETICS

mer at AutoZone Park to win the 2000 Pacific Coast League championship for the Triple-A Redbirds in the ballpark’s inaugural season. Since then, he won a pair of World Series with the Cardinals and three MVP trophies.

PAU GASOL LARRY KUZNIEWSKI

School, McCray was a two-time All-America at Tennessee, then played eight seasons in the WNBA. She won gold medals with the U.S. Olympic team in 1996 and 2000. MARC GASOL LARRY KUZNIEWSKI

CINDY PARLOW — The graduate

of Germantown High School won three college soccer championships playing for

TIM RAINES — Hit .290 and stole 59 bases for the 1979 Memphis Chicks on his way to a lengthy career with the Montreal Expos. Played in seven All-Star Games for Montreal. His 808 stolen bases rank fifth in baseball history. Appears likely to be elected to the Hall of Fame in 2017. ZACH RANDOLPH — A two-time AllStar since his 2009 arrival in Memphis, Z-Bo has taken to the Bluff City like dry rub to ribs. He’s finished among the NBA’s top five in double-doubles four times with the Grizzlies.

Reasonable to think he’ll be the first player to have his number retired by the franchise. ANDY RODDICK — The top seed for

an astonishing nine straight years at the local ATP tournament, Roddick won three titles at the Racquet Club and delivered the most famous shot in the event’s history, a diving championship-clincher in 2011.

DR. NANCY A. CHASE and her staff are committed to having a positive impact on the lives of the children and families they care for by providing exceptional cardiac care and compassionate service.

DERRICK ROSE — Occupies space in University of Memphis Hall of Fame and Hall of Infamy. In lone college season,

DEANGELO WILLIAMS U OF M ATHLETICS

point guard for four NCAA tournament teams (including the ’85 Final Four team), Turner’s total of 763 assists is 124 more than any other player in program history.

REGGIE WHITE PAUL SPINELLI

spurred Tigers to national-championship game and earned third-team All-America recognition. Final Four appearance was vacated, though, after an investigation concluded Rose had a proxy take an entrance exam in his place. First pick in the 2008 NBA draft and the 2011 NBA MVP. ROCHELLE STEVENS — This grad-

uate of Melrose High School won the NCAA 400-meter championship in 1988 (competing for Morgan State). Four years later she helped the U.S. 4 x 400 relay team win a silver medal at the Olympic Games in Barcelona. Her career culminated at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics when she and her U.S. teammates took gold in the 4 x 400.

LEE TREVINO — A favorite wherever

he played on the PGA Tour, Trevino was a regular at the Colonial Country Club where, in 1980, he became only the second man to win three Memphis championships. His final appearance in Memphis came in 1983, the year before he won his sixth and final major.

ANDRE TURNER — The Little General

would be in the running for most-popular Tiger basketball player of all time. The

ADAM WAINWRIGHT — Won 14 games over two seasons with the Memphis Redbirds before helping the Cardinals win the 2006 World Series and climbing to seventh on the St. Louis Cardinals’ career-wins chart.

REGGIE WHITE — Played two seasons (1984 and ’85) with the Memphis Showboats of the USFL before going on to an NFL career that landed him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. DeANGELO WILLIAMS — Greatest Tiger football player of them all, and by some distance. Over his four seasons in Memphis, Williams became the fifth player to rush for 6,000 yards in a college career. His 34 100-yard games set an NCAA record. DANNY WIMPRINE — Lynch has many of the Memphis Tiger single-season passing marks now, but the career numbers still belong to this less-heralded quarterback who took the Tigers to bowl games as a junior and senior (2003 and ’04). It will be a while before any U of M passer tops Wimprine’s career numbers for yardage (10,215) and touchdowns (81). LORENZEN WRIGHT — A star for two seasons (1994-96) with the Memphis Tigers and a starter for five with the Memphis Grizzlies (2001-06), Wright played in more NBA games (778) than any other former Tiger. His 2010 murder in Memphis remains unsolved. A U G U S T 2 0 1 6 • M E M P H I S M A G A Z I N E . C O M • 75

ROAD TRIP

BACK ROAD SURPRISES

hether your taste leans toward visiting a unique antique porcelain collection or taking a walk on the wild side in a safari park, you can do both, amazingly enough, on a day trip in rural west Tennessee. Who knew? Our great Memphis friend Conley Barclay has been telling me for ages that I needed to visit two small towns north of Jackson, near and dear to her family’s heart: Trenton and Alamo. Conley has a number of relatives in this neck of the woods and kindly offered to plan a wonderful tour for myself and my husband. And so, with Ms. Barclay as our chauffeur and well-experienced guide, we headed off to the northeast earlier this summer. Our first stop was in Trenton, Tennessee — the county seat of Gibson County, almost exactly one hundred miles from Memphis. Trenton has long been notable for its peculiar city speed limit of 31 miles an hour. The 1950s citizens of this little city were apparently early adaptors of the metric system, since 31 mph is the exact equivalent of 50 kilometers. Of equal interest to Memphians: Trenton is also the birthplace of beloved longtime Channel 5 weatherman, Dave Brown.

But most importantly, Trenton, Tennessee, is home to the largest collection of rare antique porcelain night-light teapots in the world. Conley Barclay’s great-aunt, Dent Partee, is in fact the docent of the Trenton Teapot Museum which just happens to be in a glass-walled wing of the Trenton City Hall. Mayor Ricky Jackson was on hand to greet us, as was Gary Smith, intrepid photographer/sports editor from the Trenton Gazette which published our photo several days later. (It must have been a slow news day; nonetheless, our Memphis magazine delegation was very flattered!) Partee gave us the grand tour of the collection of porcelain veilleuse-théières (night-light teapots) which had been gifted to the city by Dr. Frederick Freed. Raised in Trenton, Freed lived for many decades in New York City, where he was an obstetrician at Bellevue Hospital and on the faculty of NYU’s medical school. Over a 45-year period, he collected some 650 of these unique little teapots, while traveling all over Europe, Asia, and North Africa. As the story goes, the Metropolitan Museum in New York City was very eager to have these pieces, but Dr. Freed in 1955 chose to make Trenton the repository of more than 500 of his nightlight teapots. And so began one of America’s most unusual museums.

These vessels come in two parts — they consist of a small, decorative teapot set over a column containing a short candle, a nut, or a wick floated in oil. These “tea lamps” were designed to furnish both heat and light. Ornamental as well as practical, veilleuse-théières were used in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in sick rooms and nurseries, to provide healing vapors and herbal teas — a kind of elaborate croup kettle, if you will. Four of the Trenton teapots date from the Napoleonic era; many are ornate, with forms of figurines or personages, and some have aristocratic insignias and crests. Dent Partee is a retired school teacher in her nineties, and, as her great niece Conley Barclay likes to say, “She has always been a go-getter,” someone who does so much for everyone. This was evident in town, as all who walked into the Last Drop Café where we were lunching greeted Ms. Partee warmly. She is clearly the unofficial, much beloved mayoress of Trenton, to which title her daughter Dotty attests. The little city holds its annual Trenton Teapot Festival every spring, at which time the Victorian-era Freed Home is open to the public. For further information about the museum and other things to see and do there, check out teapotcollection.com. A U G U S T 2 0 1 6 • M E M P H I S M A G A Z I N E . C O M • 81

ur next stop was the Tennessee Safari Park, just 20 miles to the southwest from Trenton in Alamo, the county seat of Crockett County, on the little road heading back toward home. You may have seen billboards around Memphis advertising this park, and as the signs say, it is only 80 miles away. A three-acre park just outside of Alamo opened to the public in 2007; it is family-owned and operated on the antebellum Hillcrest Homestead by Claude May (another Conley Barclay relative) and his two sons, Claude and John Wesley. The Mays and Conley families settled in this area before the Civil War, and the Mays still farm over 200 acres. For decades, the family had been accumulating exotic animals on the property, everything from zebras to peacocks. Claude May admits that the park’s origins came from his own love of nature. He says he “had honestly anticipated success” when he opened to the public, but the Safari Park has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. The mission of the park is to demonstrate the importance of wildlife preservation for future generations through conservation and education. In addition to passing visitors like ourselves, school and youth groups are regular visitors to this unusual wildlife preserve in western Tennessee. Megan Collins, a Memphis friend of mine, told me the park reminds her of the book, We Bought a Zoo. As for me, I had once been to the famous Woburn Safari Park in England, and while this was a smaller Tennessee version, I did know what to expect. The drill is to pull in and buy a feed bucket,

and as you drive through the park at 5 mph, some of the animals come up to the car and you find yourself up close and personal with bison, zebras, antelope, ostriches, emus, and many other animals. You can literally feel the swoosh of the giraffes’ long tongues when you offer them carrots from your cup! The current park collection includes more than 700 animals, representing more than 100 different species, and the Safari Park was recently expanded to 110 acres by popular demand. There is also a walk-through component to the park — there’s no danger of grizzlies lurking in the bushes — as well as a petting zoo and gift shop. It is open all year round, seven days a week; check out all the details at tennesseesafaripark.com. The park seems, er, wildly popular for families, getting five-star ratings at websites like tripadvisor.com and yelp.com. My husband and I are so grateful to Conley Barclay for her family connections and for making this road trip both possible and highly entertaining. We loved the long, straight twolane blacktop roads passing by family-owned farms and pretty agricultural countryside, and enjoyed passing through whistle-stops with whimsical names like Frog Jump, Three Way, and Nutbush. The trip was truly a mixed metaphor, as in a single day we went from the rarified world of porcelain teapots in Trenton to the menagerie extraordinaire gathered at the Tennessee Safari Park outside Alamo. The two stops provide a wonderful and easily-accomplished one-day autumn road trip, for any Memphian with a sense of adventure and curiosity about out-of-the ordinary places. Enjoy!

Elvis’ new bride. “He was in that little house with Priscilla, and it was the first time in her relationship with Elvis that she and Elvis lived in a place by themselves; granted, in this walled-off ranch, but in Hollywood and in Graceland, everybody’s in the house and everybody’s living there,” Jerry says. In Priscilla’s book, Elvis and Me, she reminisced about the ranch and its unassuming farmhouse, which upon first sight, “I pictured us saddling our own horses and riding in the early evening or at dusk. My picture was of us alone, without an entourage,” she wrote. But Elvis saw it as the best of both worlds. He could hang with the group when he wanted and have his alone time with Priscilla — the couple moved out of the house (which became known as the “Honeymoon Cottage”) and into one of the mobile homes, where, she wrote, “It turned out to be very romantic. I loved playing house. I personally washed all his clothes, along with the towels and sheets, and took pride in ironing his shirts and rolling up his socks the way my mother had taught me. Here was an opportunity to take care of him myself. No maids or housekeepers to pamper us.” During the spring of 1967, they’d sometimes spend weeks at a time on the ranch. Priscilla recalled leaving for Los Angeles, so Elvis could do pre-production work for Speedway — shortly after finding out she was pregnant with Lisa Marie — but returning to the ranch for Christmas for horseback riding, snowball fights, and hayrides. Of those early Circle G days, she wrote, “He was having a ball, and there were days he didn’t even want to take time out to eat — he’d walk around with a loaf of bread under his arm in case hunger pangs struck.” With all the fun on the farm, the potlucks, and the picnics — “something that’s so unElvis” — Jerry says, the Circle G “became a beautiful place.” One day, when Priscilla was pregnant (“If you do the math, you can see how happy those honeymoon ranch times were,” Jerry wrote) , she, Elvis, Jerry, and Sandy were out horseback riding and came upon a cow giving birth. “It was amazing,” he says. “I’d never seen anything like that. It was like we were in the Wild Wild West.” Experiences like that gave Elvis something he couldn’t have gotten elsewhere. It wasn’t about Elvis, the star. It was about sharing friendships, Jerry says, “on a more realistic, simple, loving basis — being off the road, being away from Hollywood, just getting down to the bare essentials. I think it was one of the times that Elvis enjoyed just being a human being. It was a great time in our lives.” As with all good things, the days at the Circle G came to a close, after about a year. The ranch, while it played a very important part

— Jerry Schilling it. The cross had been erected by a previous owner, who put it there for one of two very different reasons, according to online accounts: Either it was placed in memory of the owner’s daughter who’d drowned in the lake, or used as a beacon for aircraft traveling to the nearby Twinkletown Airport. Whatever the reason, that cross drew Elvis to a place and time that, though fleeting, was cherished by all involved. Not just because of the gifts — trucks, trailers, and horses — but because of the bonds that grew between everyone who was a part of it. “Elvis knew how to make people happy, and he wanted to make people happy. He appreciated, so much, his success and that’s why it was so important to him [when] the career was not being as special as it should be, such as [with] Clambake. “It’s such a deep, many-layered story,” Jerry says. “The whole life of individuality, the birth of rock-and-roll, courage to do what you felt against all odds — he really dared to be different. And he was sensitive at the same time. What I loved about Elvis, he wasn’t the guy in a lot of the movies just walking around singing a song smiling all the time. He could do that and he was a lot of fun, but he was also a very thinking type of person, a very searching type of person. “There’s a reason why, after all these years, we’re still talking about him.”

he Summer Drive-In is four screens, a yellow-lit concession stand, and enough brown concrete to hold 2,000 cars. Set off from the busy street that is Summere Avenue by hourglass-shaped, space-age sculptures and a teal marquee, the drive-in feels as if it hasn’t changed much since the first moon landing. It’s better for it: There are few things more welcome on a summer night than posting up with take-out and a friend for four hours of good (or bad) cinema. I found myself alongside photographer Brandon Dill at the drive-in on a warm Friday evening earlier this summer, parked in a bevy of pre-movie tailgaters and makeshift picnics. The sun was still up as a small crowd gathered. We were here for something slightly different than the usual summer blockbusters. Instead, the groups of punk teenagers, committed-looking old-timers, and young families had gathered for the Time Warp Drive-In, an all-night screening of cult classics put on by Black Lodge Video and local B-list movie auteur, Mike McCarthy. Though the Time Warp folks have been hosting overnight marathons for several years, the event is not so much an institution as it is an improvisation on all the things a drive-in movie experience can be. In addition to old (but not forgotten) movies, they screen vintage commercials, concert footage, questionable television excerpts, or whatever fits the theme. There are bands and MCs and intermissions. People sell T-shirts and comics in the lot. This night’s theme was “Comic Book Hardcore,” which featured four back-to-back movies based on comics or graphic novels. Says Matt Martin, co-owner of Black Lodge Video, “The tradition of all-night movie marathons is very old. It made sense for drive-ins. Why not go all night? A drive-in invites you to define your night moment by moment, whether you’re sitting outside with friends or taking a walk or hanging out in your car.” As the sun set, I looked around, attempting to determine the true-blue film buffs among us: How many people would make it until 4 a.m.? I personally hoped I’d stick it out until 2 a.m. or so because I was excited for the third movie of the night, Tank Girl, a low-budget apocalyptic film about a girl and her heavy artillery. But I wasn’t sure I’d make it to Blade, the 2:30 a.m. offering. That’s okay, according to Martin. The nature of the Time Warp isn’t to watch everything. “I try to pick movies where we’re thinking in terms of the attention span someone can have overnight,” he says. “Sometimes I’ll choose movies based on a phenomenal soundtrack. We try to make it easy to follow along even if you can’t be watching every second of it.” In other words: It’s a social experience. Pack enough water, a warm blanket (even in the summertime), and don’t be afraid to stretch your legs and talk to folks. You never know who you might meet in a time warp.

ighting adult and childhood cancers. Preventative care and mending sports injuries. Research and instruction. The medical community of Memphis is one of the best in the country and continues to grow and improve. Where the Medical District, hemmed in by I-240 and Downtown, used to be the epicenter of care, the largest institutions now reach into East Memphis, Collierville, and DeSoto County, Mississippi. Just as their geographic reach has grown, so grows their technology, knowledge, and collaborative care, from installing a mini telescope into the eye to conferring with the top physicians of the renowned Mayo Clinic. Campbell Clinic opens new spine center

n the spring of 2015, Campbell Clinic opened the doors to a state-of-the-art spine center in response to regional demand from patients for more specialized treatment for back and spine issues. This is the first such sub-specialized facility that Campbell Clinic has operated. The new clinic is located at 8000 Centerview Parkway in the Germantown Park business complex in Cordova. There are also four other orthopaedic clinics and two surgery centers in the Mid-South. “Optimal spinal health is vital to one’s

overall well-being,” says Fred Azar, MD, chief of staff for Campbell Clinic. “Neck and back problems can be debilitating, so it’s imperative that they are treated appropriately. Our new spine center enables patients to receive integrated spine care under one roof. From the visit with their physician to their X-ray, all the way to their physical therapy appointment, this facility combines convenience with high-level orthopaedic expertise.” Campbell Clinic is one of the oldest medical institutions in Memphis, having been founded in 1909 by Willis C. Campbell, MD, and now serves as a national leader in orthopaedics, sports medicine, teaching, and research in orthopaedic surgery.

Located adjacent to Baptist Women’s Hospital in East Memphis, the Spence and Becky Wilson Baptist Children’s Hospital is home to a 17,000-square-foot emergency room, which includes 10 bays for patient care and a 2,000-square-foot diagnostics area. In addition, the pediatric facility offers a 12-bed inpatient unit, outpatient pediatric surgery, and the Pediatric Eye Center, the first comprehensive eye center for babies and children, led by Jorge Calzada, MD, of the Charles Retina Institute. “Our vision was to bring pediatrics from Baptist Memphis over here to join Baptist Women’s in order to grow these services and be able to provide that continuum of care that our families and pediatricians have continuously asked us for,” says Anita Vaughn, CEO and administrator of Baptist Women’s Hospital.

The Church Health Center’s Family Medicine Residency

hen Crosstown Concourse opens in early 2017, Church Health Center will consolidate its myriad services from disparate properties into this one centralized location, filling 120,000 of the total 1.5 million square feet the citadel on Cleveland Street houses. Within that space will be doctors and nurses, dentistry, space for exercising, and kitchens for nutrition classes. But there will also be something new for CHC. The Family Medicine Residency is a major initiative aimed at improving health and access to healthcare in Memphis. In conjunction with Baptist Memorial Health Care, the Residency’s mission is to provide family medicine resident education in an environment of high-quality patient care across clinical continuums, which will emphasize both the holistic approach to comprehensive individual health and the coordination and collaboration required across disciplines to improve outcomes for diverse populations. Graduating family physicians will be prepared to practice the art of family medicine while mastering the science and technology of the evolving healthcare system in order to become leaders in advanced primary care practices for the community.

The Heart Institute at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital

e Bonheur Children’s Hospital is building on its strong foundation as home to some of the country’s premier pediatric cardiologists and cardiac surgery pioneers by expanding its Heart Institute at Le Bonheur. Programs undergoing expansion include mechanical circulatory support, cardiovascular genetics, adult congenital heart disease, heart transplantation, neurodevelopment, single ventricle, sports cardiology, and obesity. The 150-member Heart Institute is led by executive co-directors Christopher Knott-Craig, MD, and Jeffrey A. Towbin, MD, an internationally recognized expert in cardiomyopathy and heart failure in children. Knott-Craig has pioneered some of the most complex congenital heart defect procedures and is one of the country’s most successful cardiac surgeons. Another specialty is cardio-oncology, in conjunction with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where Towbin holds the post of chief of Cardiology. Many Le Bonheur and University of Tennessee Health Science physicians hold joint appointments at St. Jude. “We have the surgical and medical teams in place to look beyond patient survival — now it’s about lifestyle and giving children and adults with congenital heart defects and heart muscle diseases a great quality of life,” says Towbin. To build these programs, the Heart Institute expects to recruit 25 cardiologists in the next five years.

est Cancer Center celebrated the grand opening of its new East Campus located at 7945 Wolf River Boulevard. The 123,000-square-foot facility combines many of West Cancer Center’s physicians and researchers all under one roof. For the first time patients now have access to multispecialty services including medical, surgical, diagnostic, and radiation oncology, in addition to West’s clinical research program, all delivered at one location. The result is a collaborative environment that both fosters West Cancer Center’s comprehensive approach to treatment and transforms the delivery of oncology care in the Mid-South. “This marks another milestone in the transformation of how we care for and treat our patients,” says Erich Mounce, CEO of West Cancer Center. “By physically combining the forces of our multidisciplinary specialty teams into one facility, we are creating an environment that truly fosters collaboration and produces a unique understanding of what each specialty requires, allowing everyone to perform at their highest level.” The facility is a tangible result of an innovative partnership between Methodist Healthcare, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), and West Clinic, who joined together in January 2012 to form West Cancer Center.

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center

ast year was one of transformation on several fronts for the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), which annually educates approximately 4,000 students, is responsible for 26,700 jobs across Tennessee, and contributes $2.7 billion to the state’s economy. With record enrollment in many programs, expanded educational locations, updated teaching methods, stronger clinical partnerships, broadened research activities, and unprecedented construction, the 105-year-old university has moved aggressively to boost its presence on the state, national, and global stage as a healthcare educator, provider, and innovator. “We think we’re in the best position we’ve ever been in,” Chancellor Steve Schwab, MD, told faculty and staff in his annual State of the University Address last year.

S Regional One Health’s East Memphis campus on Quince Road.

egional One Health has embarked on a journey of growth and expansion. Throughout its more than 180-year history, the institution has provided a wide range of health services to citizens of the Mid-South. Until recently, though, the majority of these services were offered on the main campus where its flagship acute-care hospital, Regional Medical Center, is located. In 2015, Regional One Health expanded its footprint in the Mid-South, opening new locations and services from Downtown’s Harbor Town on Mud Island to a new campus on Quince Road near Kirby Parkway and Highway 3815 in East Memphis to better serve the healthcare needs of the community. A long-

range goal is to help individuals manage their health to avoid preventable hospitalizations. To meet this goal, Regional One Health is focusing on creating convenient health services in an outpatient setting. “We are creating an innovative model for providing access to a modern and convenient healthcare campus where you not only go for your primary care but your specialty care, too,” says Reginald W. Coopwood, MD, president and CEO of Regional One Health. “To be able to take our world-class expertise and offer services into another geographical location will greatly benefit Memphis as we introduce a different model for delivery of outpatient services.”

aint Francis Hospital-Memphis was host to a team of Mid-South vision specialists who successfully implanted a mini telescope in the eye of a patient with end-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The patient, 74-year-old Peggy Ryan, was the first patient in Tennessee to receive this revolutionary device since it received FDA approval. It was surgically implanted by Saint Francis Hospital-affiliated ophthalmologist Subba Gollamudi, MD, with a medical team that included Cynthia Heard, OD, and Orli Weisser Pike, OT. Approximately 500 patients around the country have received the telescope implant, and the Memphis team is one of 100 teams nationwide to offer the procedure. The first-of-its-kind telescope implant is FDA approved for patients age 65 and older, and is currently the only surgical option that improves visual acuity by reducing the impact of the central vision blind spot caused by end-stage AMD. “This telescope technology can com-

Proton Therapy at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

he first proton therapy center in the world dedicated solely to children with cancer can be found at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The $90 million center is sponsored by Red Frog Events. Patients are now being treated at the center using precisely delivered, high-energy particles called protons to kill or shrink tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue and organs. For patients with brain tumors and certain other cancers, research suggests proton beam therapy may be more effective than conventional radiation at preventing the growth and spread of tumors while reducing the risk of treatment-related side effects. The center includes the linear accelerator, a synchrotron, a three-story rotating gantry, powerful magnets, and other

two well-known organizations, this is truly a collaboration for sharing medical knowledge and Mayo Clinic expertise, while providing tools and resources for our physicians to further enhance patient care.” To receive a Mayo consult, patients must go through a Methodist-aligned physician, and the physician will send the patient’s medical records to the appropriate Mayo physician to review. The two physicians will schedule a time to discuss the patient’s medical care. After this consultation, the patient’s local physician will share the results and discuss the next steps.

A COMPR EHENSI V E LOOK AT SHELBY COUN T Y SCHOOLS, PUBLIC A ND PR I VATE

compiled and edited by jane schneider

hoosing a school for your children takes thoughtful consideration. But Memphis is fortunate to have a wide range of choices. From public and Catholic education to independent and charter schools, with a little research, you’ll find the right fit. SCHOOL CHOICE IN SHELBY COUNTY

here are a host of schools available to families in Shelby County. From public to private, charter to magnet, even the communities in our surrounding suburbs run municipal school districts. It may take time, but with a little research, you’ll find the school that fits your family’s needs. Read about those options here, then go online to the Memphis School Guide (memphisschoolguide.org), a website developed to help parents more closely examine the school landscape. There you’ll find a link under each section with additional school profiles and data. Editor’s Note: Copy written by Ginger Spickler, founder, Memphis School Guide.

PUBLIC TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS All students in Shelby County are zoned to a neighborhood public school. Public schools are tuition-free and follow state-established guidelines for standards, safety, and evaluation. Shelby County has eight separate school districts, each governed by its own school board. Start your search with your neighborhood school and learn about its offerings. Once you have that information, you’ll have a basis of comparison as you continue your search. Know that if you choose a school other than your neighborhood school, you will need to go through the school district’s transfer process. PUBLIC OPTIONAL SCHOOLS Optional Schools, which are all part of the Shelby County Schools district (SCS), offer a somewhat more specialized education (similar to “magnet” schools in other cities), though not all optional schools have academic requirements. In some optional schools, all classes are considered optional, while others operate as a “school within a school,” featuring some optional and some traditional classrooms in each grade level.

PUBLIC IZONE SCHOOLS Innovation Zone (iZone) Schools are a subset of public schools (all are in the SCS district) that operate with more resources and more autonomy from the district than traditional public schools. Administrators at the school level are given more freedom over staffing, budgets, programs, and schedules (iZone schools typically have a longer school day). They may experiment with innovative teaching or technology-usage methods. NOTE: While these schools got to the iZone for being on the state’s Priority List of schools in the bottom 5 percent for student achievement, many schools in the iZone have enjoyed strong test-score growth since their turnarounds, so pay more attention to these schools’ growth scores than achievement scores. CHARTER SCHOOLS Charter schools are public schools (tuition-free) but operate more independently from the school district than traditional public schools do, particularly in regard to curriculum or the hiring of staff (teachers are required to be state-certified). All charters operating in Tennessee are not-for-profit. Some charters are single-site schools, while others are part of a larger charter management organization (CMO) that may operate multiple schools. A U G U S T 2 0 1 6 • M E M P H I S M A G A Z I N E .

EDUCATION

PRIVATE SCHOOLS Private schools are not funded by the state and must fund operations by charging tuition, though many private schools offer some form of financial aid. Schools are typically run by an independent body (a school board, the Catholic Diocese, etc.), and as they are exempt from state oversight and mandated testing, faculty have the freedom to choose their own standards and educational approach. While the majority of private schools in Memphis have a religious affiliation, there are also a number of non-religious schools focusing on a wide variety of methodologies and approaches. The Memphis Association of Independent Schools (MAIS) and the Catholic Diocese of Memphis represent the majority of private schools in Memphis. When weighing whether your family can afford a private school, you’ll want to ask about all the associated costs. In addition to tuition, most private schools charge fees for books, activities, technology, meals, etc. However, some private schools were designed specifically with low-income families in mind, and these may be a great choice if you qualify. Many private schools also have a birthday cut-off date that is earlier than that of public schools, some as early as June 1. Check school websites for details. MUNICIPALITY SCHOOL SYSTEMS A number of communities in Shelby County manage their own school systems. If you live in Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Lakeland, or Millington, you can opt to attend one of these schools. Go to the town’s website for details.

In Shelby County, all charters have been authorized by either SCS or the Achievement School District (ASD). For more frequently asked questions about charter schools, visit the Tennessee Charter School Center at tnchartercenter.org. SCS charter schools do not draw from attendance zones — if you are interested in applying for your child, you must apply directly to the school. If there are more applicants than spaces available, a lottery is used to determine who will get a spot. Most ASD schools (including the charters) do have attendance zones, and priority is given to students living within that zone. However, eligibility has opened up.

SHELBY COUNTY SCHOOLS SCSK12.ORG 416-5300

helby County Schools (SCS) is the largest public school system in Tennessee and among the 25 largest systems in the nation. The system also oversees optional, charter, and iZone schools under their umbrella. Optional and charter schools are listed here; go to memphisschoolguide.org to learn more detailed information about each school. SCHOOL REGISTRATION If your child is attending a Shelby County School for the 2016-2017 school year, you will need to register online. The registration process is offered in both English and Spanish. NOTE: Parents must have an active email account in order to register via computer or smartphone. Parents can also register online for their child’s zoned school or an approved transfer location. If your child is a new student who has attended an out-of-state or non-public school, you will create a new account and complete the online registration process. Documents required include: a Tennessee Department of Health Immunization Certificate with proof of a physical, two proofs of residence, and the student’s social security card. If your child is a returning student, you will receive a Snapcode via email. You will use the Snapcode to begin the registration process. Certain documents (proof of residence and immunization records) will also need to be uploaded or brought to your child’s school for the registration process to be complete. Online Registration: scsk12.org/registration !1 First day of school is Monday, August 8th. !1 Go to scsk12.org for up-to-date news and information.

2016 COLLEGE GUIDE

WELCOME TO THE

2016 COLLEGE GUIDE! By SAM CICCI

Taking the first steps onto a college campus is a serious milestone. Along with a first real taste of independence from family, all the new friends, classes, professors, and experiences can shape the way a student will continue to grow and set him on the way toward a career path. College is a transition period, where kids can explore their various interests and learn valuable education and life skills that will pave a path toward adulthood. Success can be defined in a multitude of ways. More often than not, there’s a dollar sign attached to it. College graduates are more likely to find steady employment. In general, the higher the level of educational attainment, the higher the income. Take a look at the following infographic, which shows 2015 unemployment rates and median income for people (25 years and older) with varying levels of education.

WHY GO TO COLLEGE? The answer isn’t complicated. A college education is a long-term investment. As suggested by the graph below, the money you make is tied to your highest level of education. It should also go without saying that well-educated and experienced individuals will have easier times locating job opportunities than those without a degree.

UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

DRIVEN BY DOING

NATIONALLY RANKED

In a city known for doing things our own way is a university that’s driven to do the same. At the University of Memphis, we think differently about education. We blur the outdated lines of academic pursuits and active ones. Each day at UofM brings more than new lectures and assignments. It brings new opportunities. Not just to learn, but to experience. To create, solve and build. To explore and express.

Our top UofM rankings* include our online MBA program (#23); audiology (#12) and speech-language programs (#15); rehabilitation counseling program (#17); rhetorical studies PhD program (Top 15 by National Communication Association) and the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law facility (#1 by preLaw magazine).

TENNESSEE’S SAFEST LARGE CAMPUS

Here, an education isn’t something you get. It’s something you do.

The UofM boasts the lowest campus incident rate in Tennessee—almost 40% lower than any of the state’s ten largest schools, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Police officers patrol by car, bike and foot 24/7. There are over 600 campus security cameras and strategicallyplaced outdoor emergency phones. Mass emails, Tiger Texts and an outdoor loudspeaker system warn the campus of severe weather or other emergencies.

MORE THAN A DIPLOMA Internships

Our internship program is among the nation’s Top 10.* With the entire city of Memphis doubling as a classroom, you'll have the chance to make realworld contributions in Fortune 500 offices, art galleries, community programs and research labs all across the Memphis area.

Schedule your campus tour and learn more about on-campus life at memphis.edu/campusvisit.

Research and Partnerships

As a metropolitan research University, the UofM strives to form partnerships with business, government and community organizations that foster learning for our students, provide support for our faculty and positively impact the quality of life in the greater Memphis community. With six Centers of Excellence, we are also home to the FedEx Institute of Technology, which is elevating the way the world innovates.

2016 COLLEGE GUIDE

PREPARING FOR COLLEGE It’s never too early to start!

Kids in elementary school are always throwing out the names of professions that interest them: a fireman, a doctor, a policeman, an astronaut. But before you know it, the end of high school is in sight, and it’s best to be prepared for anything. Parents need to take the initiative early on. It’s crucial to help your children develop an interest in reading and learning at a young age. Keep an eye on your child’s progress in school and be firm about the importance of maintaining good grades and attendance records. After all, being present and punctual is an excellent habit to develop for both one’s personal and professional lives. While there are a decent number of scholarships and financial aid options available to most students, there is never any guarantee. Start a college savings fund for your child as early as possible. Once your child hits middle school, it’s time to begin actively preparing for college. On the following pages are preparedness checklists for both students and parents, from junior high through high school, provided by the Federal Student Aid office of the U.S. Department of Education.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Junior high school is a time for feeling out skills and interests. Becoming involved in extracurricular school or community activities can help with that. Students are encouraged to develop strong study habits and test-taking adeptness. Parents should maintain in-depth communication with their child and his or her teachers, while actively saving for the child’s education. Students: • Think about college as an important part of your future. Discuss your thoughts and ideas with family and with people at school. • Take challenging and interesting classes to prepare for high school. • Ask your parent or guardian to help you research which high schools or special programs will most benefit your interests. • Develop strong study habits. • Do your best in school and on standardized tests. If you are having difficulty, don’t give up — get help from a teacher, tutor, or mentor. • Become involved in school- or community-based activities that let you explore your interests and learn new things. • Speak with adults, such as your teacher, school counselor, or librarian, relatives, or family friends who you think have interesting jobs. Ask them, “What do you like about your job?” and “What education did you need for your job?” Parents: • Use FAFSA4caster (at fafsa.ed.gov) to find out how much federal student aid your child might receive. This information will help you plan ahead. • Continue saving for your child’s college education. • Talk to your child about his or her interests and help match those interests with a college major and career. • Help your child develop good study habits, such as studying at the same time and place every day and having the necessary materials to complete assignments. • Stay in contact with your child’s teachers and counselor, so they can let you know about any changes in your child’s behavior or schoolwork. • Keep an eye on your child’s grades on his or her tests and report cards, and help him or her find tutoring assistance, if necessary. 6

Some deadlines fall as early as the summer between 11th and 12th grades, so prepare now to submit applications soon. SUMMER BEFORE 12TH GRADE Students: • Narrow down the list of colleges you are considering attending. If you can, visit the schools that interest you. • Contact colleges to request information and applications for admission. Ask about financial aid, admission requirements, and deadlines. • Decide whether you are going to apply under a particular college’s early decision or early action program. Be sure to learn about the program deadlines and requirements. • Use the FAFSA4caster financial aid estimator and compare the results to the actual costs at the colleges to which you will apply. To supplement any aid FAFSA4caster estimates you might receive, be sure to apply for scholarships. Your goal is to minimize the amount of loan funds you borrow. Parents: • Take a look at your financial situation and be sure you’re on the right track to pay for college. • Talk to your child about the schools he or she is considering. Ask why those schools appeal to your child and help him or her clarify goals and priorities. • Attend college fairs with your child but don’t take over the conversation with the college representatives. Just listen and let your child do the talking. • Take your child to visit college campuses, preferably when classes are in session. • Make sure your child is looking into or already has applied for scholarships. • Ask your employer whether scholarships are available for employees’ children.

2016 COLLEGE GUIDE

HOPE FOR COLLEGE

The Tennessee HOPE Scholarship offers additional funding for students statewide.

One of the most important things to consider when planning for college is how you’re going to finance it. Starting a continuing education fund or savings account early is ideal, but for those who haven’t been able to save up enough to cover it, there are a variety of options available. Many Tennessee residents attending eligible in-state institutions qualify for funds through the Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship Program. The traditional HOPE Scholarship is available to graduating high school seniors who meet the minimum requirements. The need-based HOPE Aspire supplemental award is available to those whose adjusted gross income is $36,000 or less. The General Assembly Merit Scholarship (GAMS), also known as the HOPE Merit, is a merit-based supplemental award.

The traditional HOPE Scholarship is awarded to entering college freshman who meet the following requirements: • Apply by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available at fafsa.gov. Applications must be received by September 1st for fall semester or February 1st for spring and summer semesters. • Have been a Tennessee resident for at least one year prior to application date. • Graduate from a Tennessee eligible high school. Exceptions may be granted to Tennessee residents who meet certain criteria, including those who graduate from high schools located in bordering out-of-state counties.

• Enroll in one of the eligible Tennessee public colleges, universities, or private colleges. • Entering freshmen must achieve a minimum of a 21 ACT (980 SAT), exclusive of the essay and optional subject area battery tests or have an overall weighted minimum 3.0 grade point average (GPA). • ACT/SAT exams must be taken on a national test date or state test date prior to the first day of college enrollment after high school graduation. The ACT residual test is not accepted. • Must enroll within 16 months following high school graduation at any postsecondary institution. Enrollment at an ineligible postsecondary institution during the 16

months will make the student permanently ineligible. The HOPE Scholarship can be renewed annually if requirements continue to be met. Qualifying recipients who attend four-year or two-year institutions with on-campus housing can receive up to $1,750 per full-time enrollment semester as a freshman and sophomore and up to $2,250 per full-time enrollment semester as a junior and senior.

Five Night Stand, the debut novel from Richard J. Alley

When journalist Frank Severs and music prodigy Agnes Cassady come to New York to witness jazz legend Oliver Pleasant’s final five-night stand, the timeless force of music pulls the trio together. Over the course of five nights, the three reflect on their triumphs and their sorrows: families forsaken, ideals left along the wayside, secrets kept. Their shared search for meaning and direction in a fractured world creates an unexpected kinship that just might help them make sense of the past, find peace in the present, and muster the courage to face the future. Available at Burke’s Book Store, Booksellers at Laurelwood, and Amazon.

Memphis Minded The Rhodes-St. Jude Partnership Since 2001, the Rhodes-St. Jude partnership has paired talented Rhodes students with renowned researchers at St. Jude Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Research Hospital. Through this experience, students become fully engaged citizens in the world-class scientific community of St. Jude, working on independent research projects, and participating in lectures, group

meetings, and onsite discussions. They present their work at local, national, and international venues. And many go on to pursue advanced degrees in medicine, pharmacy, veterinary science, neuroscience, genetics, biomedical engineering, and other related areas at some of the most prestigious institutions in the country, including Harvard, Yale, and the Mayo Medical School.

A N INSIDER’S GUIDE TO 4 4 BA RS A ND TA PROOMS THAT COULD CHA NGE YOUR LIFE .

Peabody Rooftop Party

by bianca phillips

hether you’re seeking a swanky cocktail bar to entertain visitors, a low-lit wine bar for a romantic date, a grimy dive bar for a cheap beer and a rock show, a taproom offering craft beer, or a disco-pumping party playground to dance until the wee hours of the morning, Memphis’ bar and club scene has you covered. Here’s a list of our favorite bars, clubs, and taprooms (in alphabetical order). A-TAN — You’ve never had a drink like

the Flaming Volcano (unless, of course, you’ve already been to this University-area Asian joint and ordered one). This kitschy cocktail of rum, brandy, pineapple juice, orange juice, and almond syrup is served in the moat of a volcano-shaped glass, and in the volcano’s crater is a flaming shot of Bacardi 151. Order one to share, and while you’re at it, sample from A-Tan’s dual menus of Chinese and Japanese fare. 3445 Poplar, Suite 17, 452-4477 (Chinese side) or 458-8877 (Japanese side)

AGAVE MARIA — If tequila is your

jam, you’ve found nirvana. This Mexican restaurant and bar offers more than 100 varieties of agave spirits, many of which are high-end and hard to come by. There’s also a large selection of Mexican beers and hand-crafted cocktails to pair with Agave’s

k all ome, ed e but, order.

menu of tapas, tacos, and enchiladas. 83 Union, 341-2096 ALCHEMY — If alchemy were real,

it would certainly have life-changing potential. And while it’s doubtful you’ll find the elixir of immortality on the cocktail menu at this swanky Cooper-Young bar, the lovingly hand-crafted drinks there come darn close. Sit back on one of the lounge chairs and order the Memphis Takes Manhattan (your choice of whiskey or rye or bourbon with vermouth, bitters, and brandy-infused cherries). Alchemy also boasts a huge menu of premium bourbon and scotch. 940 S. Cooper, 726-4444

ALEX’S TAVERN — Life-chang-

ing moments are more likely to happen when you’re awake. And you can stay up and party until the wee hours of the morning at this north Midtown after-hours dive. The jukebox features some 5,000 songs to choose from, and the kitchen cranks out burgers and fries all night. 1445 Jackson, 278-9086

B.B. KING’S BLUES CLUB

— The Blues Boy may have gone on to that great blues hall in the sky, but his spirit lives on at this Beale Street juke joint. The bar features live entertainment — mostly blues and soul acts — every night of the week, and it’s a must-visit for Memphis

tourists. Grab a seat on the indoor balcony that overlooks the stage and order a glass of wine and a platter of fried green tomatoes. 143 Beale, 524-KING BABALU TACOS & TAPAS

— Give us a spacious patio, a massive bowl of guacamole, a basket of house-made tortilla chips, and an ice-cold margarita, and we’re set for life. Or at least an hour or two. At Babalu in Overton Square, you can kick back and soak up the sun with gourmet tacos, made-at-the-table guac, and a menu of fancy Mexican-themed cocktails. 2115 Madison, 274-0100 BAR DKDC — You might never get a

chance to travel the globe. But a meal and cocktail from Bar DKDC in Cooper-Young may be the next best thing. This tiny bar offers a rotating menu of global street fare that changes every five weeks and live music that ranges from sweet soul to doowop. 964 S. Cooper, 272-0830

BAR LOUIE — Located on the hottest corner in Midtown, this Overton Square martini bar is perfect for people-watching. Its patio wraps around the corner of Madison and Cooper, so grab a seat and order a S’mores martini (made with vodka, chocolate liqueur, toasted marshmallow syrup, and a graham cracker-crusted rim). 2125 Madison, 207-1436

BRING ON THE NIGHT

Jerry Lawler’s on Beale Street

BLIND BEAR SPEAKEASY

— This downtown Prohibition-themed cocktail bar gives Memphians a chance to step back in time to the days of gangsters and gun molls. Order the Bootlegger’s Mule (moonshine, ginger beer, and simple syrup served in a Mason jar) for the most authentic experience. 119 S. Main, 417-8435 BOSCOS — If a drink is going to change your life, it has to be homemade. And the beer served at this Overton Square brewpub is made in-house. It’s even used to flavor the crust for their wood-fired pizzas. One sip of Boscos’ award-winning Flaming Stone Beer (a North American steinbier with notes of caramel) and a bite of the Germantown Purist pizza (barbecue chicken with smoked mozzarella) and you’ll never be the same. 2120 Madison, 432-2222 THE BRASS DOOR — If soccer is

your thing, you’ll find a home away from home at this lively Irish pub. It’s the official home of the Memphis Gooners, the local Arsenals fan club. Guinness is on tap, and Irish breakfast is served all day, every day. 152 Madison, 572-1813

BROOKHAVEN PUB & GRILL — Everyone needs a home base

bar, and that’s what Brookhaven is to so many East Memphians with a taste for sports and pub grub. Catch all the Grizz ac-

tion on multiple high-definition TVs. Order a plate of barbecue nachos and a bucket of brews to share with friends. It’s like home away from home. 695 Brookhaven Circle, 680-8118 THE BUCCANEER — You may think you’ve stumbled into the belly of a rustic boat, but never fear — you’re just inside The Bucc, as its loyal hipster patrons call it. This tiny bar features nautical décor, cheap PBR, and a roster of local and traveling musical acts that range from fledging punk bands to bluesy singer-songwriters. 1368 Monroe, 278-0909 CELTIC CROSSING — You may

never get a chance to travel to Ireland and kiss the Blarney Stone, but that’s okay because this Cooper-Young Irish pub is the next best thing. Owner D.J. Naylor hails from Ireland, so he offers an authentic experience with Guinness on tap, a menu of corned beef sliders and bangers and mash, and broadcasts of soccer games. The spacious, covered patio is second-tonone, and it’s heated in the winter. 903 S. Cooper, 274-5151

CLUB SPECTRUM — The city’s

only LGBT dance club caters to a mostly younger crowd of twentysomethings, so don’t bother showing up before midnight. That’s when the crowd pours in to watch

two nightly drag shows and dance the night away on Spectrum’s large dance floor. There’s a game room for those seeking a quieter evening, and there’s a public stage with a dance pole for anyone daring enough to show off their skills (but please leave the clothes on — Spectrum doesn’t allow stripping). 616 Marshall, 612-1911

they’re greeted with open arms. Owner Tami Montgomery remembers every face, so you’ll be a regular in no time. Weekend drag shows and karaoke nights attract standing-room-only crowds. To get the most booze for your dollar, check out the Thursday and Saturday night $5 beer busts. 1474 Madison, 725-8082

THE COVE — From the safety of Broad Avenue you can pretend to drink your hand-crafted cocktail aboard a pirate ship when you sit at the ship-shaped bar (complete with sails jutting out from the wall) at The Cove. This popular oyster bar caters to the hipster set and is best-known for its massive list of artisan cocktails. Since rum is the official drink of pirates, try the Hot Lips, a Bloody Mary made with rum. 2559 Broad, 730-0719

EVELYN & OLIVE — Order a Dark ’n’ Stormy, some jerk wings, and fish stew and be whisked away to the island of Jamaica at Evelyn & Olive. This casual Caribbean eatery offers authentic cuisine and hand-crafted Jamaican cocktails. Don't say we didn't warn you: The rum punch is strong, and one (or maybe two) is all you need. 630 Madison, 748-5422

DIRTY CROW INN — Located

just on the western edge of town, right before the old bridge crosses the Mississippi River, this no-frills dive bar serves up plenty of cold brews (including a nice selection of local craft beers) and a simple menu of burgers, po’boys, wings, fried pickles, and poutine. 855 Kentucky, 614-2309

DRU’S PLACE — If the bar on

Cheers were a gay bar, this would be it. Everyone knows everyone at Dru’s, and when a new person comes in the door,

EARNESTINE & HAZEL’S

— Get a taste of Memphis history in this dimly lit South Main dive. The building was opened as a pharmacy in the early 1900s. But it eventually became a nightclub/ brothel, where musicians who’d performed at the nearby Club Paradise would frequent for hook-ups. The old brothel rooms are still there, so Earnestine & Hazel’s patrons can have a cold one (and a greasy Soul Burger) with the wild ghosts of Memphis’ seedy past. Pop into the 5 Spot, the restaurant in the back of the bar, for a classier experience and hand-crafted cocktails. 84 East G.E. Patterson, 523-9754

Dirty Crow Inn

FLIGHT RESTAURANT & WINE BAR — Can’t decide on a glass

HIGH COTTON BREWING CO. — This local craft brewery prides

of wine? No problem. As the name of this upscale Downtown eatery implies, you can order a flight of wine by varietal and region. For example, the Wonders of the World flight features a Côtes du Rhône from France, a Chianti from Italy, and a Shiraz from Australia. And yes, it’s wonderful. 39 S. Main, 521-8005

itself on beers that pay homage to our Southern heritage. Stained wood beams give the Edge District taproom a rustic ambience, and the hand-crafted brews don’t disappoint. Fans of dark beers will love the full-bodied Scottish Ale, while the ESB (extra-special bitter) is a favorite of hop-lovers. 598 Monroe, 543-4444.

FLYING SAUCER — Choices, choices. You’ll have your share of them at this casual bar that boasts more than 200 beer options. Professional drinkers can have their ability to imbibe immortalized on a plate on the wall if they sample all the Flying Saucer has to offer. Now that’s something mom can be proud of! 130 Peabody Place, 523-7468; 1400 N. Germantown Pkwy., 755-5530

KING JERRY LAWLER’S HALL OF FAME BAR & GRILLE — Drink and dine like The

HI-TONE — This Crosstown live music venue is a Memphis institution, and punk rockers and metal heads flock here by the dozens. Local and touring musical acts — mostly from the aforementioned genres — play here several nights a week. But if death metal isn’t your thing, you can always sip your tall-boy PBR in the lounge side of the bar. 412-414 N. Cleveland, 278-8663.

King on Beale. No, not that king, silly. We’re talking about Memphis’ other king — the King of Wrasslin’. It’s the perfect place to throw back a few beers while noshing on some Memphis classics, like barbecue nachos, fresh fried pork rinds, and Lawler’s “famous” slamburger (a triple stack, allbeef burger with all the fixin’s). 159 Beale, 523-1940 LAFAYETTE’S MUSIC ROOM — Some 38 years after the

original Lafayette’s in Overton Square closed its doors, it reopened in the same location in 2014. The bar boasts quite a rich history, helping to launch the careers of musical greats Billy Joel, KISS, and Big Star, among others. In its second incarnation,

Lafayette’s has the potential to boost more careers. The music room hosts local and traveling musical acts every night of the week. 2119 Madison, 207-5097 LOCAL GASTROPUB — Forget standard bar food. Local’s two locations — one in Overton Square and one in the South Main Arts District — serve gourmet pub grub (think shoestring fries with gouda fondue and garlic aioli) alongside craft beers and unique cocktails. Local also offers craft beer and whiskey flights for those who just can’t decide. 95 S. Main, 473-9573; 2126 Madison, 725-1845 LOFLIN YARD — South End’s old Loflin Safe & Lock Co. has been transformed into a hip neighborhood bar with a massive, shaded patio, barrel-aged artisan cocktails, an on-site wine shop, and sandwiches made from meats prepared in a smokehouse out back. The Gayoso Bayou runs through the patio via a waterfall and small creek. 7 W. Carolina, 249-3046 MEMPHIS MADE BREWING — This seasonal craft brewery is

known for taking chances, and will try anything once. So head to its Cooper-Young taproom to sample some of the most distinctive craft beers in the city. Don’t be

surprised to find coffee stouts brewed with cacao nibs, saisons with notes of candied ginger, and Scottish ales brewed with smoky cherry wood malts. Some beers are only offered on limited release, so try them while you can. 768 S. Cooper, 207-5343 MIDTOWN CROSSING — Residents of the up-and-coming Crosstown neighborhood convene at this friendly neighborhood bar for lovingly prepared pizzas, broadcasts of the big game, spoken word, art shows, and live music. Grab a local brew and try The Artist Pizza (tomato jam, mozzarella and chevre, caramelized onions, and fresh arugula). 394 N. Watkins, 410-9330 MINGLEWOOD HALL — This

cavernous music hall is massive, so it tends to attract big-name musical acts from a span of genres — indie artists, rappers, EDM DJs, and ’90s alternative bands. Plus, Minglewood often plays host to nonprofit galas and even the occasional MMA fight. 555 Madison, 312-6058

MOLLIE FONTAINE LOUNGE — Tucked into the charming

Victorian Village neighborhood, this lounge is a favorite gathering place for the city’s LGBTQ set, although it’s not officially a gay

bar. The bar is located inside a converted Victorian-era home, and its individual bedrooms, decorated with a mix of period antiques and 1960s kitsch furnishing, serve as lounging spaces. There’s live piano music in the parlor room. 679 Adams, 524-1886 MOLLY’S LA CASITA — Adobe-style décor and rustic charm transport patrons of this beloved Overton Square Tex-Mex joint to the border. The locally famous margaritas are made with a secret recipe, and they’ve attracted a legion of loyal regulars over the years. Menu items range from standard burritos and tacos to cheeseburgers and spicy chicken sandwiches. 2006 Madison, 726-1873 P&H CAFÉ — While we’re certain the

P&H has offered a life-altering experience to many, we can say for sure that filmmaker Craig Brewer’s life was changed at this Midtown watering hole. It’s there that he penned his first screenplay, aptly named The Poor & Hungry, and his career has never looked back. The P&H’s beloved owner Wanda Wilson, who passed away in January 2015, was always a patron of the arts, so her laidback dive bar has naturally attracted artists, actors, playwrights, and various eccentrics over the years. 1532 Madison, 726-0906

PAULA & RAIFORD’S DISCO — Who says disco’s dead? The poppy

glitter and glam of the late ’70s is very much alive inside this flashy discotheque. Memphis’ own “grandfather of disco” Robert Raiford — with his shiny cape and jerry curl — spins the oldies (and plenty of newer dance music) every weekend as his charismatic daughter Paula greets the crowd. Bring your dancing shoes and an appetite for 40-ounce beers. 14 S. Second, 521-2494 THE PUMPING STATION —

Once known as a hangout for gay men into the leather scene, this Crosstown-area bar now caters to the city’s entire LGBTQ community. The crowd still tends to be mostly male, but ladies are welcome. A treehouse built into the patio offers a unique hangout, and the new smoker’s lounge gives patrons a place to puff without annoying other customers. 1382 Poplar, 272-7600

RIVERFRONT BAR & GRILL — Have a drink on the banks

of the Mississippi River at this bar tucked inside Beale Street Landing. A spacious, covered patio offers stunning river views, so be sure to stop by just before sunset. The food menu features dressed-up Southern fare, and the bar serves local beers on tap

and a nice selection of wines. 251 Riverside, 528-3135 SLIDER INN — As the name implies, tiny burgers are the specialty at this motorcycle-themed bar, and they come in all varieties — buffalo chicken, blue cheese and onion, falafel, fried egg, even PB&J. Slider offers a nice selection of local and craft brews, which are best enjoyed on the large, covered patio. 2117 Peabody, 725-1155 TIN ROOF — Located in the heart of

WISEACRE BREWING CO.

— Deep in the heart of the Broad Avenue Arts District, the Bartosch brothers — Davin and Kellan — are always busy pumping out creative, inventive brews at Wiseacre. Visit their ultra-modern taproom for a taste of seasonal Belgian dubbels, barrel-aged imperial stouts, or fruity saisons. Or go with a classic Wiseacre standard — Tiny Bomb American pilsner or Ananda IPA. The taproom is open for tours on Saturdays. 2783 Broad, 888-7000

the Beale Street Entertainment District, this hip nightspot offers Southern hospitality, downhome eats (Southern staples, as well as tacos and quesadillas), country cocktails (try the Grit and Grind with moonshine, Peach schnapps, lemonade, Red Bull, and soda). Bonus: Tell the bartender to “bump your beer,” and they’ll trade out your pint for a 32-ounce draft for just $2 extra. 315 Beale, 527-9911

YOUNG AVENUE DELI —

WILD BILL’S — This off-the-

way at this Overton Square lounge, where patrons can request covers to be performed by the bar’s rotating cast of local pianists. The classy joint is only the second such location in the country. The original Zebra Lounge opened in Chicago way back in 1929, making it that city’s second-oldest bar. 2114 Trimble Place, 249-8147

beaten-path juke joint, tucked away in a shopping strip in north Midtown, is the stuff of legends. The dance floor is always kickin’ to the sweet sounds of Wild Bill’s house band, and the big beers (they only come in 40-ounce bottles) are dirt cheap at $5 a pop. 1580 Vollintine, 726-5473

Nothing goes better with a cold, craft brew than hot, greasy fries, and this Cooper-Young watering hole has the best fries in town (they’ve won awards!). The Sam-I-Am sandwich is a good choice too. The joint also has plenty of pool tables, occasional live music, and a fine selection of beers on draft. 2119 Young, 278-0034

very summer when I compile a list of favorite dishes for the City Guide, I’m reminded that memorable food is a conf luence of taste, place, and timing. Most years, one of the three inf luences sways my decision-making because of a food trend or a propensity towards certain restaurants. Last year, I leaned toward simple fare from the city’s leading chefs. In 2014, I was seafood crazy. At first, this year’s list seemed scattered with no guidepost, but then I remembered how I felt before eating

a tender brisket hoagie (famished by late afternoon) and a platter of round, buttery oysters (exhausted by a long drive to the Alabama coast). Like magic, the food transformed me, as did the rest of the dishes on the top-10 list. In fact, the impeccable timing of each pick was so memorable that I added runner-up dishes for every meal. The list follows, but don’t interpret the order as any kind of ranking. After all, a Popsicle dipped in chocolate on a blue-sky summer day can be as perfect as an elegant entrée at a birthday dinner.

he Puff Ball — an omniscient charred loaf that will make you wonder if the Mother of Dragons is coming to dinner — begins as pizza dough fermented five days so sugar and yeast can work their magic. Baked in the coolest part of the restaurant’s wood-burning oven, the dough ball puffs up like a blowfish, and roasted garlic oil, Maldon salt, and Parmesan add sheen and flavor. Poke the ball at the table and it deflates into a kind of pizza pita bread for scooping up dip made with whipped ricotta. “Chefs Andy and Mike like to keep the spread really seasonal,” explains general manager Nick Talarico. “Now it’s ricotta whipped with lemon and olive oil, and a salad of summer corn, chanterelles, peaches, and herbs.” Contender : Buttercrunch salad with Green Goddess dressing

FARMER’S PLATTER AT SWEET GRASS

redit goes to photographer Justin Fox Burks for suggesting the Farmer’s Platter, a celebration of local produce and culinary technique from Chef Ryan Trimm. Served on a platter large enough for a Thanksgiving turkey, four vegetables (they change daily) line up like colorful swatches in a book of fabric samples. On a recent visit, the dishes could tempt the most ardent carnivore: roasted eggplant and red onions drizzled with carrot-top pesto; bi-colored corn elote cut off the cob; heirloom cherry tomatoes tossed with vinegar, olive oil, and Thai basil; and finally, the platter’s beauty queen — smoked beet pastrami garnished with goat cheese, pistachio gremolata, and skinny asparagus cut on the bias. Contender : Charcuterie with house-cured bacon, chorizo, and country pâté

WINGS AND WAFFLES AT HM DESSERT LOUNGE

riginally served only on Wednesdays, wings and waffles now shape the daily menu’s core at HM Dessert Lounge, with mix-and-match options both sweet and savory. Chef Fran Mosley trilled off cake flavors to develop specialty waffles such as rum, maple bacon, and sweet potato, a customer favorite. Wings — so tender they need just a little tug to eat — marinate in special seasonings for flavors like spicy fried, Southern fried, and double-fried honey hot. There’s also smothered wings with brown gravy drizzled on top and served on the side for dipping. “Our secret is simple,” Mosley says. “We make the wings to order, flour right before we fry, and never keep anything under a light.” Contender : Alex’s special apple and peach cobbler with ice cream

WOOD-GRILLED CALAMARI

AT STRANO SICILIAN KITCHEN & BAR

he tools chef Josh Steiner uses to prepare calamari on his kitchen’s wood-burning grill are deceptively simple: tongs and a well-used pan perforated with holes. The ingredients for the dish are simple too: tomatoes, squash, olive oil, roasted garlic, peppers — red, yellow, and green — fresh calamari sliced into rings, and Trapani sea salt (hand-harvested crystals from Sicily, a place that shapes Steiner’s cooking). Yet despite the calamari’s humble start, the finished dish is warm and cheerful, like a favorite uncle’s big-bear hug. Coupled with Rosemarie’s Sicilian Salad or fried olives stuffed with cheese, the dish is large enough to share, but so good you will hoard leftovers for a second meal at home. Contender : Cannoli garnished with an orange peel rose

CHOCOFLAN

AT THE SWEET CAKE SHOPPE

ood-looking and a little mysterious, Chocoflan is a popular dessert for birthdays in Mexico, where it is also called Impossible Cake. Here’s why: The cake defies baking logic. At the Sweet Cake Shoppe downtown, baker Jorge Acosta layers luscious caramel, cake batter, and flan made with seven eggs and a little Rompope (yum!) into a Bundt pan. When the cake goes into the oven, the flan is on top. When the cake comes out about an hour later, the flan — sweet and spongy — is on the bottom. Flip the pan and the luscious layer of flan is back on top. “They separate and switch places,” says co-owner José Martinez, laughing. “That’s the impossible part.” Contender : Lavender cupcake with purple florets

CASONSEI

AT ANDREW MICHAEL ITALIAN KITCHEN

t Andrew Ticer and Michael Hudman’s flagship restaurant on Brookhaven Circle, it’s easy to get sidetracked by a marvelous pork chop or a Sazerac cocktail or two. But please, oh please, don’t skip the casonsei, a filled and folded pasta that hails from Bergamo in north central Italy. House-made and tortellini-like, casonsei is a sublime foray into seasonal eating. In cooler months, look for fillings like sunchoke, horseradish, and mascarpone cheese tossed in brown butter. For summer, mixtures lighten up, marrying beet, dill, spring onions, poppy seed, and sambal, a spicy condiment popular in Southeast Asia. Seasonal eating aside, casonsei turns pasta — as a side or entrée — into classy comfort food, rich but unpretentious. Contender : Mezza luna pasta shaped like crescent moons

CARNITAS

FROM PIGASUS CURED MEATS

ne way to get hooked on Pigasus carnitas is to grab a market slice from the Rock ’n Dough Pizza truck. Another is to get to the Memphis Farmers Market early, before Jonathan Burlison runs out of this Mexican favorite translated as “little meats.” A hobbyist-turned-vendor, Burlison starts his carnitas with meat from Home Place Pastures Tamworth hogs; adds garlic, adobe sauce, and dried Mexican chilis; and confits the mixture at a commercial kitchen downtown. “On my way to work at St. Jude, I put them in the oven and when I walk out at five, I go turn the oven off,” Burlison says. “Then I chop it up and re-season with smoked paprika and other spices.” Contender : Smoked tofu

ITALIAN BEEF BRISKET HOAGIE

AT RAY’Z WORLD FAMOUS DR. BAR-B-QUE

n Chicago, barbecue maestro Ray Nolan fell hard for the city’s famed Italian beef hoagie dipped — bread and all — into its au jus. For his own stellar interpretation in Memphis, Nolan smokes beef brisket, tenderizes the meat with Miracle Flavor Enhancer (made with secret ingredients), and layers the meat and juices into a soft hoagie bun. Next comes slaw, a squirt of barbecue sauce, and giardiniera, a garden-inspired relish made with carrots, celery, onions, and green olives. “So now you have three or four flavors going into your mouth at the same time,” Nolan says. “I eat one every now and then to make sure it’s popping on all cylinders, and it always is.” Contender : Slab of barbecue ribs with fries

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED REVERB COFFEE POPSICLE AT MEMPOPS

andcrafted and natural, the Popsicle flavors at Mempops change regularly, depending on the availability of local produce and the creative whims of owner Chris Taylor. Happily, the coffee pop is a menu mainstay. The flavor starts with Sumatra beans from Reverb Coffee, a local micro-roaster. Next, the coffee is cold-brewed overnight and then strained twice: first through fine mesh and then through paper. Finally, dulce de leche transforms the coffee into a creamy and dreamy treat. “We make the dulce fresh, and then combine it with the coffee, half and half,” Taylor explains. A dip in chocolate — available for an extra dollar — accentuates the hint of caramel that occurs naturally in the coffee beans. Contender : Hibiscus lemonade pop

MURDER POINT OYSTERS AT FISHER’S OBM

hen Johnny Fisher opened his excellent restaurant in the Orange Beach Marina, the artisanal oysters from Murder Point illustrated his commitment to quality ingredients and coastal vendors who practice stewardship. While most Gulf oysters are large and irregularly shaped, innovative farming off the Alabama coast keeps Murder Point oysters petit, deeply cupped, and uniform in size. Simply put, the oysters in their smooth, white shells are game-changers. Paired with chilled French Rose and house-made mignonette, each briny and buttery slurp brings salt and sea to a shady dockside table with a lovely bayside view. Order a second dozen and another drink, and you might never make it back to your blanket on the beach. Contender : Marinated Gulf crab claws with grilled corn vinaigrette

Jack Pirtle’s Chicken (8 Memphis Locations) • jackpirtleschicken.com

Founders, Jack and Ovra Pirtle Photo taken in 1957 at the original store on S. Bellevue

Jack Pirtle started serving fried chicken in Memphis in 1957, and from the beginning we’ve had something that sets us apart from chicken everywhere: Pirtle pride, and Memphis style. Jack Pirtle’s Fried Chicken was born in the city of Beale Street, barbecue and blues. It’s the town that gave the world Elvis Presley, who coincidentally purchased Graceland, just down the street from the original Jack Pirtle’s, the same year Jack opened his first restaurant at 1217 Bellevue. And it’s where soul music was created. People from all over the world come to Memphis for the music and the food, and we’re proud to have them here. But it’s the hometown folks we really aim to please, because we know that in Memphis, people know good food. From the start, they’ve loved the chicken at Jack Pirtle’s. Fine chicken, seasoned just right, and fried with pride by people who are proud to serve it. Fresh biscuits, hot from the oven; our signature country-fried steak sandwich; mashed potatoes, crinkle-cut fries or rice with our homemade chicken cracklin’ gravy, which is so popular people get gravy to-go even when they’re doing the cooking themselves. You’ve heard Southerners talk about gravy so good you could drink it by the glass? Well, they must’ve been to Jack Pirtle’s, where we really do sell gravy by the cup. Tour buses welcome! • For Good Ole’ Southern Style Catering, call 901.372.9897 Contact us with your favorite Jack Pirtle’s Chicken story at customer2jackpirtles@gmail.com

Keeping the tradition going today! Founders only son and wife, Cordell and Tawanda Pirtle

CITY DINING LIST OUR IN-DEP TH GUIDE TO MEMPHIS A R EA R ESTAUR A N TS.

Up to 300 people gather on Loflin Yard’s lawn Friday and Saturday nights to eat, drink, and listen to bands playing from the porch of the Coach House.

TIDBITS

Loflin Yard

by pamela denney n a mid-summer afternoon at Loflin Yard — a charming bar, restaurant, and hang-out space in downtown’s South End — Chef Andy Knight was excited about mushrooms. He was waiting for a delivery of chanterelles, 16 pounds of burnt yellow beauties, trumpet-shaped and foraged locally. “That’s a lot of mushrooms,” said Knight, laughing. “So I pickled them.” A veteran of Memphis restaurants including Interim and Bounty on Broad, Knight tossed the mushrooms with tomatoes, basil, and Southern field peas, a refreshing salad for a pitch-perfect menu serving the venue’s sprawling site. While seasonal produce inspires sides day-to-day, a smoker and custom grill in an open-air smokehouse shape the menu’s core. For lunch and late-night, irresistible brisket smoked 12 hours is layered with tomatoes and horseradish aioli into po’boy rolls from La Baguette. For dinner, sandwiches morph into family-style plates. Pork tenderloin pairs with fire-roasted potatoes, and tarragon-stuffed trout — cooked on the grill in a cast iron skillet — snuggles next to charred Broccolini, a customer favorite. For drinks, select a chilled bottle of chardonnay from a cooler in the Safe House, the former home of Loflin Key & Lock, for which the restaurant is named. Or pick a barrel-aged cocktail like the Rested Martini, and then wander outside to a shady patio table where a waterfall and the Gayoso Bayou bubble along nearby. To be honest, I thought I had aged out of Loflin Yard with its hipster vibe and live music every other night. But I couldn’t have been more mistaken about a creative approach that respects the lay of the land and welcomes people of all ages. Says general manager David Moore: “We love kids. We love dogs, and we are constantly growing into something more.” Up next: outdoor movie nights and tree lighting for the winter holidays.

“We think it’s the best beef brisket po’boy in the city,” says Andy Knight, who smokes the brisket for 12 hours.

Both lunch and dinner menus include daily specials, such as gazpacho served with toasted baguette.

Seasonal produce, like these locally foraged chanterelle mushrooms, inform the restaurant’s soups, salads, and sides.

Barrel-aged cocktails include the Vieux Carre made with George Dickle Rye, Benedictine, cognac, and vermouth.
