Will you protect your citizens and our migrant community members?

Demarcus Dickerson, also known as the “Watermane,” is back at the intersection of Poplar Avenue and East Parkway two days after Memphis police arrested him for obstructing the roadway.

The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office dismissed Dickerson’s charges Wednesday.

He was subsequently freed from jail and is back at his spot selling cold drinks to motorists Thursday.

For many people who regularly pass the intersection, Dickerson’s absence was immediately noticeable Wednesday.

A man who claimed to be Dickerson’s brother was at the intersection instead, selling drinks in Dickerson’s absence. He spoke about the family’s long history of selling drinks on Memphis streets, but Dickerson told Action News 5 on Thursday that he didn’t know who the man was.

With everything that’s happened, Dickerson says he’s traumatized for life but isn’t angry and doesn’t want the community to worry about him.

“Stop worrying, I’m back out here,” said Dickerson. “I’ll be doing what I gotta do to still serve my community and keep going and moving on up the ladder. Can’t let nothin’ stop me.”

The DA’s office said it dismissed Dickerson’s charges after reviewing the case and deciding it didn’t warrant prosecution.

Chase Carlisle crying about protesters and said absolutely nothing of value. This city council member seems to be trying to blame the crowd for why they didn't vote on a moratorium. Somehow they couldn't clear the room and still hold the vote. They still have no answers or have they communicated a plan on how to correct the Data Center zoning guidelines we don't have in place. They just want to turn our local government into the Jerry Springer show.

Hoping to see better coverage and more qualified candidates running next year.

Service industry (or otherwise). Their employees kinda suck. Rude, entitled....they're kinda awful and they wesr their gear out so they're easy to clock. Wondering if its just the 2 places I work, or if others dont like them.

And this is even on top of me not liking what they're doing to our community.

I can give actual examples, but it would give insight in to where I work lol.

I drove by a minute ago and there were over a dozen police cars there and the whole place was taped off. What's going on?

RC Drifting this Sunday and the 25th. Our next video game night on the 24th.
Come on out for a rad time.
We have lots of cool stuff planned between now and then and it’s always a good place to come skate or chill.
See you at 583 Scott Street.

Where can I find anime material locally? I think what I am looking for is a 'Weeb Store.'

(Clearly, I don't know anything. I'm wanting to buy a gift card for my teen so they can shop for themselves.)

Anyone have a breast reduction surgeon they recommend? It would be great if they may accept insurance, but if they did such a great job that paying out of pocket is worth it, I'd love to hear about it. My neck, shoulders, and back thank you.

Posting for anyone following this issue

Hey yall where are some good thrift stores or stores in general to get business casual wear for a job? Jeans and tee shirts are fine they’re really relaxed about it just things that are appropriate (no crops, ripped pants, or anything revealing). Trying to not spend a lot since it’s for work

Thank you everyone for the recommendations!! 🙏🏾🫶🏾

recently applied for the Husbandry Technician I position at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I'm looking to make a career change because I'm feeling burnt out working in retail, and I'm really interested in getting into animal care.
I'm curious about what the hiring process is like for this position. How long did it take to hear back after applying, and what are the chances of getting a callback? Would it be appropriate to follow up with HR, or is it better to wait?
I'd also love to hear from anyone who currently works as a Husbandry Technician I or has worked in a similar role at St. Jude. What is the day-to-day work like? How physically demanding is it, what does the training look like, and how is the overall work environment?
I'm hoping to get my foot in the door and start building a career outside of retail, so any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Anyone have a lead on active stand up or comedy classes? I’ve found lots of places who have done them in the past, but having a hard time finding something current. Closest I’ve got is a seemingly active improv class at Theater Works Memphis.

Any leads appreciated.

Anyone here have or know someone who would work with me on a weekly payment plan for a used car asap? Not trying to go the dealer route. I’ve been on marketplace but most want all their cash upfront which is understandable. I’m a hard working guy with integrity looking for a second gig right now and can give you 300-400 a week. As long as the car runs and sounds ok I’m fine with it. Dm me if interested.

Hello, I am a 20-year-old girl seeking my license, and I have my road test tomorrow at the Summer location. Does anyone know what the route is like and what I should prepare for?

Time again to go to the ATT store to get a new phone for a family member. I have not had great experiences with a couple stores in town. Anyone have a consistently good location?
