This is representative of the new Midtown Memphis. Ten years ago a business like this wouldn't have survived. Let alone be successful. The new bike lanes everyone is crying about is being used. There are even people like Hunter Demster who are capitalizing on it already. The boardwalk across the Mississippi river to West Memphis is another future investment opportunity for someone. Don' t wait too late to think ahead. Bass Pro is going to open a lot of doors for other businesses. The city recently passed a law allowing restaurants on wheels. It has been so successful "Crumpy's Hot Wings" has two trucks running already.
A section of this city is being carved out for a certain demographic. It started with closing down the Fairgrounds. Now we have the $31 million Kroc Center in it's place. Now we have to go to the AG center or Desoto County to go to the fair. Then we turned Overton Park over to a conservancy. The Kroc Center has $30 membership fees and they're charging $25 for what used to be free concerts at the Levitt Shell. The council also approved a $16.5 million project building a water retention drain and a indoor parking garage in Overton Square.. To match the parking garage being built at the Overton Park Zoo. That coupled with a downtown on the move. And don't forget about Mud Island. It's going to be used again. All tied together by a trolley.
With legislation constantly being passed making homosexuals a protected group. I wouldn't be surprised if Cooper-Young eventually became a crime free zone. Even the dumbest criminal doesn' t want to be charged with a hate crime. Kill a homosexual and get thrown under the jail. The latest trend. Campus crime will stop as soon as they take the handcuffs off campus security It's by design there are no more public housing projects downtown. The only thing left of the old Memphis is the Mid-South Coliseum. Thus carving that line that I've been talking about for years. Down the center of the city. .

Historic architecture, a vibrant business and entertainment district and active and engaged residents all put Cooper-Young on this year's list of the American Planning Association's 10 Great Neighborhoods in the U.S.
The "historically hip" Midtown neighborhood made the list after its four-decade-long "renaissance" that relied on existing neighborhood assets, according to the APA, the educational organization for the country's planners.
"A neighborhood of hard working Americans, Cooper-Young doesn't put on any airs," APA CEO Paul Farmer said in a statement. "Even as reinvestment transforms its commercial corridor into one of the city's top entertainment venues and residences continue to be rehabbed, the neighborhood remains true to itself."
The Great Neighborhoods list is one part of the group's Great Places in America program that recognizes streets, neighborhoods and public spaces with "unique and authentic characteristics that have evolved from years of thoughtful and deliberate planning by resident, community leaders and planners."
Cooper-Young joins Baton Rouge's Garden District, Fells Point in Baltimore, the Fairmont-Sugar House neighborhood in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Downtown Walla Walla, Wash., among others on this year's list. "I've lived in Cooper-Young for more than 30 years and I've seen it develop into a bustling, vibrant neighborhood with a farmers market, well-used bike lanes, an active community association, a popular annual street festival and many of my favorite restaurants in the city," Memphis Mayor A C Wharton told the APA.
"It's definitely one of the Memphis' great neighborhoods and we're so proud that the American Planning Association considers it one of America's Great Neighborhoods, too."
