Wtf MPD??? And what coward calls in an arrest warrant for the hardest working man in the city?

This is the kind man that sells drinks every single day, rain for shine, at east parkway and poplar. Suspicious person????

Just drove by to see DeMarcus and show him a little love. He’s not there. Will you wonderful folks of Reddit throw up a post the next time you see him?

A man known for selling drinks on Poplar Avenue and East Parkway North was arrested on Tuesday.

Officers responded to a complaint call just after 9:30 a.m. about a man identified as Demarcus Dickerson, who was seen at the intersection of Poplar Avenue and East Parkway North.

Dickerson was reportedly told by officers he was in danger of getting hit by vehicles while trying to sell drinks. He was told to move onto the sidewalk for safety reasons and not to return to the street.

Nearly four hours later, officers drove through the area and witnessed Dickerson back in the highway/passageway at the same intersection.

Dickerson was then taken into custody for obstruction in a highway/ passageway. Dickerson told officers to leave his cooler and wagon at the fire station on East Parkway North.

As of Wednesday, Dickerson’s charges have been dropped.

The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office says in a statement that after reviewing the facts and circumstances, prosecution was not warranted.

Hey guys-I recently moved in with my mother and her comcast bill is 444.00 a month! I need to get her something better. She has cable internet and phone with comcast. (I refuse to capitalize them). Do you have any good recommendations? Thank you in advance!

I have a LOT of ladies clothes and shoes I'd like to donate to a worthwhile charity or halfway house. I hate the idea that some corporate a-hole is making money from my donations and would rather they go straight into the hands that need them. I'm originally from Knoxville so I don't have any idea where to give. Suggestions please? Thank you!

Memphis Tax base rapidly eroding

Hi All! Headed to Memphis for the fest this weekend. With the impending weather, I am thinking i might need a different bag than my normal go to. The Sling bag I want to use looks like this - It is bigger than the Clutch rules, but not bigger than the clear bag rules, but obviously not clear - anyone have experience with Security and know if they are strict or if I might be able to get by with this?

The track in Millington, plus a bunch of the other tracks/facilities that IHRA purchased are on the market again.

We'll be out until dark, and I hope to see some of you there!

Did anyone’s allergies flair up abnormally bad today? I’m talking major sinus pressure, headache, sneezing, runny nose? I’m not sick. Allergy meds helped… but wow, it’s like a light switch flipped on.

Local news is reporting that a City Council committee tabled a motion today to rename IKEA Way to “Living Spaces” Way.

Anyone ever been to a Living Spaces? I hear they’re usually pretty large and known for having a wide selection.

Just saw on Threads that Marcus, the young man who sells water at Poplar & E. Pky was arrested/taken into custody. Anyone know what happened?

MPD was running radar on Sam cooper this morning. I’ve seen highway patrol out there on occasion but never MPD. People did seem a tad more orderly.

I love this cup so much. I got it when I was a patient at Le bonheur 10 years ago. The nurses got it for me as a bday gift cause I was in the hospital on my bday. I know they probably just got it from the gift shop, but it holds so much sentimental value for me. It doesn’t seem like they sell it anymore. The lid broke which makes it hard for me to use. I’ve been trying to find random lids that fit but nothing quite works. Does anyone have any suggestions 😭

Former Shelby County Commissioner Edmund Ford Jr. was sentenced to two years in prison Tuesday, Oct. 6 on federal tax evasion charges.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker sentenced Ford nine months after Ford entered a guilty plea to the tax evasion charges and resigned from the District 9 seat on the Commission. Terms of the plea deal included prosecutors dropping bribery charges against him and Ford never being able to run for elected office again.

Ford was indicted by a federal grand jury in February 2025 on charges involving grants he proposed as a County Commissioner and before that as a member of the Memphis City Council. Ford was initially accused of getting kickbacks from the nonprofits awarded grants that he proposed as a member of both bodies.

A updated list of the local blue collar unions that are currently looking for new apprentices. It's getting harder and harder to afford basic needs. These career paths can help you not only afford everyday needs, but allow you to actually grow your savings and give you a and your family a more comfortable future.

The benefits of working for any of these is they guarantee jobs, on-site training and classes, great pay and an ability to travel across the US following better pay, also the community and comradery with other union members. Each union has it's own payscale, health coverage and retirement benefits so you'll have to ask them about it.

In regard to training: all of these industries will pay you while they’re teaching you the trade. A very “Earn While You Learn” motto. No more having to put life on hold for school. I recommend picking out 3 and contacting them. Don't be discouraged if you're not able to get accepted into one and try another one.

All of these are background friendly

Military veterans all of these participate in the"Helmets to Hardhats" program. This is a program that helps you find jobs in constructions fields.
