LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Ah, the annual Best of Memphis issue. It’s been going on for 20 years or so, and during that time our little reader participation experiment has grown into our largest issue and a major event on the fall social calendar. We’re proud of Best of Memphis, and we do our best to ensure that it accurately reflects the opinions of our readers. That means that you can only vote once and that you have to fill out a large portion of the ballot for it to count. That means you can’t have your employees and family vote every hour or buy a place on the ballot. It’s not fool-proof, but it’s certainly more reflective of public opinion than, say, a North Korean presidential election. So there’s that. Speaking of “best,” I recently read an article called “Five Ways to Grow Your Best Self,” and it occurred to me that the lessons it contained would work for a city as well as they would for an individual. For instance, No. 1 was, “Make Time for Reflection.” Surely, it would benefit all our leaders — and our mayoral candidates — to step back from the distractions of public discourse and campaign sound bites now and then and reflect on what’s truly important for the city’s future. Not just what will garner more votes. No. 2 was “Determine Values.” What are Memphis’ core values? How do we best enhance and live (and govern) in alignment with them? Here’s a thought: We’re a friendly city, famous for our iconoclasts, musicians, artists, entrepreneurs, and weirdos. Let’s recognize that and celebrate it. Funky is a value, dammit. “Assess Strengths and Weaknesses:” It’s clear we need to work on our flawed public education system and the poverty and crime that rides in tandem with an undereducated populace. It’s also clear that we have many strengths: our location, our climate, and what may become the most important asset of all in the coming decades — abundant water resources. If we market these strengths properly, more opportunities will arise and poverty and crime will decrease. The fourth way to grow our best self is to “Examine Habits.” We need to ask ourselves, “What habits help us grow?” and “What habits keep us stuck and floundering?” Our worst habit, in my opinion, is our perpetuation of the “circular firing squad.” We keep shooting at each other over racial issues and the urban/suburban divide, failing to realize N EWS & O P I N I O N we’re all on the same cruise ship, and if it LETTERS - 4 sinks, we all go down, regardless of zip code THE TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE - 4 or skin color. THE FLY-BY - 6 And finally, oddly enough, the article SPORTS - 13 POLITICS - 14 suggests that we “Take a Poll” — ask those EDITORIAL - 16 who care about us to give us feedback, to VIEWPOINT - 17 tell us where we’re screwing up and what COVER STORY we’re doing right. That doesn’t mean “listen “BEST OF MEMPHIS” BY FLYER to the haters.” It means we need to try to see STAFF - 19 ourselves as others who have our interests at STE P P I N’ O UT heart see us. WE RECOMMEND - 64 MUSIC - 66 Okay, end of inspirational message. Now, AFTER DARK - 70 go out and vote in the real city election, if TRAVEL - 74 you haven’t already. Election Day is only a CALENDAR OF EVENTS - 76 week away. FOOD - 84 Oh, and Kumbaya, y’all. FILM - 87 THE LAST WORD - 95 Bruce VanWyngarden brucev@memphisflyer.com C LAS S I F I E D S - 91

What They Said...

Letters and comments from Flyer readers realtors told them. And those without any other choice. Ichabod McCrane Sorry, but a bad day in Midtown Memphis is better than a good day in Arlington. Gpearson

GREG CRAVENS

About the Flyer’s editorial, “Suburbs of Nothing” … Please let us folks in the ’burbs know when Memphis becomes one of those walkable, lively urban environments. By ‘lively,” I don’t mean lively with gunfire, either. Or perhaps the Memphis mayor could start to heal the breach by simply sitting down and talking with the suburban mayors, something that has not happened in years. Perhaps he could start the conversation by explaining why the city filed a lawsuit in federal court during the schools debate and described us as racists. Actually used that word, too. Because that is one of those things we still, as the article says, “perceive as undesirable.” Until then, I think we are happy being “nominally independent.” Seems to be working for us pretty well. Arlington Pop

About Bruce VanWyngarden’s column on magical thinking … “No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.” — H.L. Mencken, 1926. OakTree About Bianca Phillips’ post, “CBHS Student Not Allowed to Bring Same-Sex Date to Prom” … Maybe this Catholic school needs to listen to their leader, Pope Francis: “Religion has a right to give an opinion as long as it is in service to the people. If someone asks my advice, I have the right to give it to them. The religious minister, at times, draws attention to certain points of private or public life because he is the parishioners’ guide. However, he does not have the right to force anything on anyone’s private life. If God, in creation, ran the risk of making us free, who am I to get involved? We condemn spiritual harassment that takes place when a 5minister imposes 6 7 8 conduct, 9 10 directives, and demands in such a way that it takes away the freedom15 of the other person.” Charley Eppes

#FORTHEPUBLICITY When is vandalism not vandalism? When it’s marring billboards advertising the Morgan & Morgan law firm as part of the Florida-based attorney’s #forthepeople branding campaign. Several Midtowners have sent Fly on the Wall pictures of the Morgan & Morgan board on Union near Overton Square with an Elvis-ized picture of the firm’s namesake, attorney John Morgan, and the “graffiti” message “Rock & Roll King of” completely blotting out the law firm’s name.

“Vandalized” boards have previously appeared in Florida and Mississippi. This one, for example, references a popular adult beverage and looks like a cease and desist order waiting to happen.

South Land South City gets jump start with huge federal grant. South City is on the way. Thanks to a nearly $30 million start-up grant from the federal government, this newly defined neighborhood with its brandnew name is promised to transform some blighted, low-income parts of downtown Memphis. Memphis won the grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) this weekend. It was one of five cities to win a total of $150 million from President Barack Obama’s Choice Neighborhoods Initiative. Memphis applied for the same grant four years ago but didn’t win it. After that loss, the city won a $250,000 planning grant from HUD, and local leaders used that money to create the South City plan. To do that, leaders met with residents and organizations in the area and inventoried community assets and programs. The plan they came up with focused on three main elements: housing, people, and the neighborhood. The “housing plan” will redevelop Foote Homes, the city’s last public housing project. It will transform the aging and institutional-looking 420-unit set of buildings with a “safe, green, and well-managed” complex of 712 apartments. Residents of the new housing will have a range of incomes. The site itself will have a

It may seem counterintuitive to create billboards that intentionally blot out all pertinent information. Then again, the fake graffiti has generated real news stories everywhere the billboards have appeared. Just like this one. Well played Morgan & Morgan. Well played.

SEX PLAGUE! According to ABC 24’s I-Team, “Sex scandals seem to plague Memphis’ government.” Scandals mentioned in the report included recent accusations against former Housing and Community Development Director Robert Lipscomb and an alleged 2007 attempt by a “rich businessman” to trick thenMayor W.W. Herenton into making a sex tape, which isn’t so much a sex scandal as a political brouhaha. That’s one sex scandal and one non-sex scandal in eight years. As a point of reference, the Bubonic plague wiped out 60 percent of London’s entire population. By Chris Davis. Email him at davis@memphisflyer.com.

It’s a shitty job, but somebody’s gotta to do it. Those somebodies are the workers tasked with repairing the city’s sewer lines through the Sewer Assessment and Rehabilitation Program (SARP10), a 10-year project required by a 2012 consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). “We’re going throughout the city assessing the condition of the existing sewer lines and manholes. And then we come up with a plan for fixing the things that are broken,” said Brad Davis, the technical lead for SARP10 and an engineering manager at Black & Veatch, the contractor partnering with the city on the sewer project. SARP10 launched in September 2014, and they’ve already wrapped up work in some of the older parts of town — areas of Midtown, downtown, and Hickory Hill. The project is moving to Frayser and Northaven this month. Back in 2010, TDEC and the EPA were in negotiations with Memphis about sewer repair when the Tennessee Clean Water Network sent a notice of intent to sue the city. That resulted in the 2012 consent decree that requires the sewer assessment. “There was a very high rate of sanitary sewer overflows, which is when raw sewage is released into the environment. That includes overflows to streets, yards, streams, and basement back ups,” said Stephanie Durman, general counsel for the Tennessee Clean Water Network, as to why the organization threatened to sue.

ALAKOO | DREAMSTIME.COM

City works to repair damaged sewer lines as part of consent decree.

Now the city and Black & Veach have nine years left to complete the assessment, which will cost an estimated $250 million. “This will minimize breaking pipes,” said Bobby Allen, administrator of environmental construction with the city’s Public Works department. “If we did not fix them, the pipes could collapse, and you could have the ground eroding out from underneath the street. You could also have sewage coming out of a manhole.” Davis says the basic premise for the city’s sewer system dates back to the late 1870s, following the Yellow Fever continued on page 8

“South Land” continued from page 6 Wharton said the city has transformed its public housing into a series of mixed-income apartment buildings with five Hope VI grants totaling more than $178 million. The “people plan” will be the pilot project of Wharton’s Blueprint for Prosperity. It will focus on giving South City residents access to medical care for healthier lifestyles, employment programs, and educational programs for children. The “neighborhood plan” includes commercial buildings, a grocery store, a farmers market, an early education center,

and more. These will be a mix of new construction and renovating existing spaces throughout South City. The plan also calls for upgraded parks, new access to transportation, blight removal, and “evidencebased public safety strategies.” Wharton promised that building the new South City neighborhood would draw additional public and private investments of $279.6 million. He said similar projects in the past have drawn a total investment of more than $352 million. South City — the way it’s currently drawn — is a massive chunk of downtown Memphis that swallows existing areas like

South Main, Beale, and much of the downtown core. It’s basically everything between Union to E. H. Crump on the north and south, and Walnut to Front from east to west. There’s also a smaller southwestern block bounded by Main, Crump, Kansas, and Georgia. Monday’s news conference announcing the $30 million award was one part victory lap for politicians, government agents, and business leaders who have worked on the South City project (complete with copious name drops, hand shakes, applause, standing ovations, and high praise all around). It was also one part revival — complete with

quoted scripture and choruses of “amen” — set to churn the spirit of hope of Foote Home residents and local agency personnel gathered. Most all of them repeated the mantra that the award was “a long time coming.” “There’s a part of scripture, I believe, that says ‘without vision, the people perish’,” said Ed Jennings, a HUD regional administrator. “We are not here for you to perish. We’re here for you to be vibrant, for you to be energized. We’re looking for this — in a decade from now — to be able to say ‘I was there then, and look at what South City is now’.”

epidemic that killed 5,000 Memphians. That’s when George Waring, Jr., a drainage engineer for New York’s Central Park, developed a state-of-theart (at the time, anyway) system that separated the sanitary system from the storm water. Much of that original system was made from wooden pipes, but Allen says most of those have been replaced over the years. So far, they’ve only uncovered one wooden pipe during the assessment. As the project moves to various neighborhoods, Allen said the city will dispatch a “green team” of young adult volunteers to canvass the area and alert residents that workers will be doing smoke tests. “The contractor sets up equipment on two manholes in the middle of the street, and they blow smoke through a segment of pipe,” said Davis. “If the pipe is completely tight, there’s no smoke that comes out of the line. If there are defects in the pipe or there are cracks in the joints, the smoke will find its way out of the pipe, and you’ll see it coming up at the surface.” Residents may also see that smoke coming into their homes. Davis said if there’s a defect in a home’s plumbing, the smoke may come inside the house. But Allen says residents shouldn’t be alarmed. “The smoke is not harmful. It doesn’t stain or smell,” Allen said. “You can open a window and not have any residual effects.” When the workers do find those defects, Davis said homeowners are alerted so they can make repairs if they wish to. The city will only repair defects in the public system, he said. Much of that repair work will be in the street, but Allen said, in some cases, the city might have to dig up a few yards. “The city has easements where the pipes run through yards between houses,” Allen said. “It’s possible that we will have to do some work in people’s yards.”

The Paul Oliver Foundation provides service animals to veterans. The Paul Oliver Foundation plans to bring the veterans in during the dog-training process and start the bond early between recipient and dog. This also helps train the dog to specifically address certain issues, like security sweeps of the house before the owner enters, fetching medicine, or reacting to a panic attack. “Paul was very involved in helping his fellow Marines,” Butler said. “He had a real heart for helping the people who were in the same position he was. We really felt like this was the best way to honor him, [taking] what he really had a heart for and help the people who are in this area.”

Marine Paul Oliver died of an accidental overdose.

NEWS & OPINION

If Memphis veterans suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or a traumatic brain injury (TBI) want to receive a service dog, the process can be stressful and costly. And until recently, the groups that paired veterans with service dogs were located far away. But a new local organization, The Paul Oliver Foundation, is changing that. Oliver, a Marine who suffered from PTSD and TBI, loved animals. But in December 2013, he accidentally overdosed on medicines he took to treat his conditions. The Paul Oliver Foundation co-founder Amanda Butler said she and co-founder Kimm Harris heard about Oliver after his death and wanted to honor his memory. “He was really trying to get better,” Butler said. “He wanted to help veterans that were suffering the way that he was.” At first, they considered holding a fundraiser and donating the proceeds to a local charity, but then they found a gap in assistance for veterans — service dogs. “I truly believe he was alive longer because of his dog, Scout. He wasn’t an actual service dog, but he did so much good for Paul,” Butler said. Butler and Harris researched service dogs and what it would take to start an organization. Now, the Paul Oliver Foundation is trying to find trainers willing to donate their time for the all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing service dogs to veterans suffering with PTSD and/ or TBI. The foundation will deal entirely in rescue animals, pulling them from shelters and placing them into training for their new human companion. “We felt a real calling to provide those service dogs to people in this area,” Butler said. “I think the closest [other organization that provides service dogs] is in Mississippi, which is still pretty far away.” Without any assistance, a service dog can cost up to $22,000, and insurance often doesn’t cover the cost of service dogs, despite their proven effectiveness in lowering anxiety, blood pressure, feelings of paranoia, and the indirect benefit that comes with owning a dog. The Veterans Administration (VA) is looking further into service dogs as a viable treatment. Currently, the VA is collecting subjects for a study to research the effects of a service dog in the treatment of PTSD. In Memphis and Shelby County, there are currently around 59,000 veterans, and more are coming back from deployments. According to the VA, between 11 and 20 percent of veterans from the post-September 11th war era are diagnosed with PTSD. For the Gulf War in the 1990s, 12 percent suffer from PTSD. Vietnam War veterans have the highest percentage, estimated at around 30 percent, though only 15 percent are actually diagnosed.

Grizz Redux The upcoming season and “core four” fatigue.

People who write about the Grizzlies on a regular basis (insert joke about how I haven’t written much this summer) are entering strange territory this season. The team has been at the same level of success since 2010-11. The key players on the roster are mostly the same, minus Rudy plus Tayshaun, minus Tayshaun plus Jeff and Vince. Small forward is, unsurprisingly, still a black-hole question mark. Everything everyone has said about this team in the last five or six years? It all still applies. It’s all still accurate, and going into this season it doesn’t look like any of it will change between now and the end of the finals in June. The simple truth of the matter is that I have mostly run out of new things to say about the current configuration of the Memphis Grizzlies, and—dirty little “sports industry secret” that none other than my illustrious predecessor Chris Herrington alluded to in a

column in the CA last week — so has everyone else who covers this team on a regular basis. What new stories are going to emerge this season? How can we uncover them? How are we to avoid talking about how the team “has got to add a shooter” or saying that the team has “grit” and that they “grind?” I think these stories exist—or if they don’t, they will. How much longer is Allen going to be good? How is Randolph really going to react to the twilight of his career, as his limitless gifts and bountiful bottom end start to fail him? Gasol is here for five years, and all signs point to a long-term re-signing of Conley at the end of this year, too—so what are the Grizzlies going to do with that? Thing is, there’s nothing else to say about those, either, because they haven’t happened yet, and some of them are fundamentally unpredictable. But those narratives are there, nascent, waiting to emerge from the background wash about shooting and defense and Memphis and teamwork and togetherness and not bluffing (which, for the record, we still don’t do) and toughness and, yes, grit. So here we are. Media day was Monday. There are new faces—Matt Barnes, Brandan Wright, and now the presumed training-camp signee Ryan Hollins—and there are familiar ones, the same familiar ones which I feel myself lapsing into taking for granted. I know I shouldn’t. I know this is special, and I know I should be taking this in while it’s here. But I just don’t know what else to say about it. We’re going to find that out together, I guess. You, me, and everybody else reading and writing about this team and watching them be themselves for the sixth straight season. 1) “Shooter” is a word people throw around as if there’s a mythical shooter out there who would instantly hit 40 percent of his glut of open threes that the Grizzlies offense supposedly generates. I love this imaginary player, and I think this season I’ll start referring to him as “The Shootist.” 2) I am ready to drag these words out into the middle of a major street and run them over with a truck. They fit what the Grizzlies do so perfectly, and thank The Grindfather for his “All Heart, Grit, Grind” rant about the Sefoloshas of the world, but ... I dunno, I’m just flat-out tired of them.

SPA, Belgium — In the last four days, I have experienced: 1) Oktoberfest in Munich; 2) a half-day tour of the concentration camp at Dachau; 3) a lumberjack contest in Luxembourg; 4) a tour of the Battle of the Bulge sites, focused on the Belgian town of Bastogne; and 5) immersion in Fort La Ferté, a key component of the Maginot Line, the series of French fortifications which were meant to halt the German invasion of France in 1940, but failed to do so. I have also, through the miracle of modern science, been able to kibitz via the internet Monday’s meeting of the Shelby County Commission, which, at 10:40 p.m., Spa time, had really just gotten started. As we speak, they are about to deal with zoning regulations applicable to private sex clubs. One of the clauses of a new ordinance being proposed by Josh Whitehead of the Office of Planning and Development will read, “A private sex club shall not be considered a place of worship.” Commissioner David Reaves asks to be excused from voting. “I just can’t vote on something involving sex clubs,” he explains. The item, a compendium of several zoning matters, still passes with 12 votes. Did I mention that I experienced Oktoberfest in Munich? I’m on a bucket-list trip to Europe. Still to go, before I return for the final few days of the city election, are trips to Normandy, where the group I’m with will spend a couple of days looking at the D-Day landing areas, and then to Paris (briefly) before coming home. If the Normandy tour is anything like those we’ve been through so far, we’ll learn one hell of a lot that you can’t get from books. We’ll also work hard at it. At one point in going through the Maginot fortifications, where passages were sardinecan-size cramped, we had to troop up 167 steps of a winding stairway. Huff and puff doesn’t begin to describe it. The 140 or so defenders of Fort La Ferté died from smoke asphyxiation under bombardment in those claustrophobic confines. Meanwhile, in Memphis, audience member Jane Pierotti is inveighing against a proposed commission rules change that would drop the number of votes required for a rules change from two-thirds of the membership to a simple majority. She quotes Lord Acton and notes that Darth Vader did not start out on “the

dark side” but sure as heck ended up there. This item passes with 12 votes as well. I cannot pretend that I know everything that has transpired in the city election since I wrote last week’s cover-story roundup of the various races. The trend lines seem to be still in place, however, and, as far as I can see, will continue all the way through early voting and right up to the final October 8th election date. The mayoral debate that WMC anchor Joe Birch and I co-moderated last Tuesday at the Rotary Club of Memphis was so even-keeled and impressive that almost everyone, including a key supporter of Mayor A C Wharton who normally spins with the best of them, concluded that all four participants — Wharton, Councilmen Jim Strickland and Harold Collins, and Memphis Police Association director Mike Williams — had demonstrated they were capable of running the city. Part of that has to do with the fact that frequent interchanges with each other and with the public have made them all conversant with the issues of importance — a process that, as we noted editorially last week, just can’t, or shouldn’t, be skipped or foreshortened.

One of the clauses of a new ordinance being proposed will read, “A private sex club shall not be considered a place of worship.” That all of them, after that dignified affair, went after each other, slugfest-style, at the University of Memphis the same night, doesn’t contradict that fact; it just indicates that they all are aware of the importance of the stakes. Meanwhile, the commission is announcing plans to go into budget matters with an intensity and thoroughness that have not previously been the norm. “It may not be to the advantage of the administration,” opines new chairman Terry Roland, “but it will be to the advantage of the people.” The commission, says Roland, will also look into EDGE, the joint city/county industrial development board, with the idea of making some serious changes. Meanwhile, through the auspices of Education First, on an itinerary planned by former Shelby County Schools chairman David Pickler, I’m getting lessoned up on other, more historic battlefields. Back at you next week before the final vote.

Americans. The resulting burden on the public sector led to the emergence of private, for-profit prison companies. In 1983, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) began lobbying to build and operate state and federal prisons. Their claim was that they could provide the same quality of service offered by publicly operated prisons but at a lower cost. One year later, CCA was awarded a contract for a facility in Hamilton County, Tennessee. It was the first instance of the public sector contracting management of a prison to a private company. In the years since, the privatization of state and federal prisons has grown rapidly, with other corporations getting into the for-profit prison business. Today, CCA operates nearly 70 facilities nation-wide, and provides incarceration for around 80,000 prisoners. In Tennessee, the company houses about 19 percent of the state’s incarcerated population. Private prison lobbyists claim that the private sector saves resources through greater efficiencies. They also claim that governments can benefit in the short-term through the direct sale of correctional facilities to private companies and can save money when constructing new facilities. However, Government Accountability Office (GAO) studies have shown these benefits to be mostly illusory. What is clear is that for forprofit prison businesses, the more “customers” you have, the more money

you make. Nationwide, it’s a multibillion dollar business and growing. Profits often come at the cost of those working for the prisons. From a GAO report: “Privately managed prisons attempt to control costs by regularly providing lower levels of staff benefits, salary, and salary advancement than publicly-run facilities (equal to about $5,327 less in annual salaries for new recruits and $14,901 less in maximum annual salaries). On average, private prison employees also receive 58 hours less training than their publicly employed counterparts. Consequently, there are higher employee turnover rates in private prisons than in publicly operated facilities.” In Tennessee, the public prison system is under severe strain. Guards are quitting the public system in droves, due to changes made to their schedules and the less-than-stellar wages they are paid. The natural reaction on the part of our business-minded Republican governor and state legislators may well be more privatization. But expanding the role of private prisons and making crime pay for “Big Incarceration” is a short-sighted solution. Re-examining sentencing policies, guard compensation and hours, and funding our public prisons at an adequate level — thereby keeping them under public scrutiny — is a much better way to go than attempting to “save money” via more privatization of what should rightfully be a government function.

PAUSING TO CELEBRATE.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. But awareness needs to be about more than purple ribbons and catchy phrases. The truth is that people are walking around this community as functioning abuse victims. People are dying to get out of their abusive situations but truly don’t know how, are not aware of options, or fear they will be judged and not have any support. The end result? Many are dying an emotional death, and sometimes, ultimately, a physical one as well. Awareness has to be accompanied by action. There are a number of ways in which to move from conversation to change on this issue. Here are a couple of points that continue to stand out as concerns when I speak with individuals and agencies here and around the country. First, society has to have a clearer understanding of what domestic violence is. According to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women, domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. The key is to understand that abuse is more than physical. It can be spiritual, financial, emotional, sexual, and psychological. There are far too many of us who still think that domestic abuse is only physical. When I give presentations regarding abuse, I am always sure to inform them that the physical abuse is usually secondary. It is extremely rare that you will have someone tell you that an abuser just walked up and hit them out of the blue. Upon further discussion about the days, weeks, months, or even years before the actual physical assault, there was something said or done by the abuser that led to his or her feeling comfortable enough to hit the victim. Oftentimes, it’s a comment or an action that is taken lightly and not viewed as an actual warning sign that physical harm is forthcoming. Second, and equally important, is the message that we’re sending the victims themselves. I am so tired of people telling victims to just leave. We are doing them a disservice when we do that without offering them some sort of plan of when to do it or how to do it safely. I have yet to meet a victim who understood he or she was being victimized and didn’t know it was necessary to leave the abusive situation. Contrary to popular belief, it is really just not that simple. There are a lot of financial, emotional, physical, and demographic challenges associated with leaving. Not to mention that the victim is in additional danger when they do leave, because

that’s the time when abusers become the most agitated. They are losing their power and control over the victim. What services are available for victims? Are we adequately listening to their voices and addressing their needs for holistic success? I remember sitting at a stoplight one day, and a gentleman pulled up next to me. He told me that my tire looked very low and kept going. My intent was to go to the nearest gas station, because I could tell that something was wrong. Well, as fate would have it, I drove up another block or so, and the tire actually blew. About 30 minutes later, a man stopped and asked if I needed help. He not only put the temporary tire on my car, but he also followed me to a tire shop and bought me a new one. The point is, far too often, we see problems that we don’t take seriously. We don’t make it our business to investigate the situation a little deeper. Or we will point out the problem with good intentions but not follow up to ensure that it has been adequately resolved. We assume someone else will step in.

Abuse is more than physical. It can be spiritual, financial, emotional, sexual, and psychological. There are far too many of us who still think that domestic violence is only physical.

At the 24th Annual Freedom Award, three more who have led us on this hard road will be celebrated. Their stories will be told, good and noble chapters in the larger narrative of human rights. The plot still unfolding, heroes yet to be introduced. The conclusion yet to be written. All the honorees are women. Another step taken, another milestone reached. Joan Trumpauer Mulholland was a Freedom Rider who desegregated Tougaloo College. Ruby Bridges Hall was the first black child to desegregate the Louisiana school system. Ava DuVernay brought Selma to the screen and the powerful story to new generations.

INSPIRED TO CONTINUE. Because of these three and those before, we have a better understanding of where we’ve been and where we must go. Because of them, we know we will never get there alone. If we are to arrive, we will arrive together. Because of them, we are inspired.

I use my voice through a number of physical and social outlets on a regular basis to bring awareness all year long. But with awareness comes accountability and action, which I embrace by talking with victims, referring them to organizations that can assist them, and providing them with tangible resources, such as clothing and toiletries. The media provide us with enough information that we should all be aware that domestic violence exists. Let us use that information as an opportunity to become even more educated about it, learn about the many types of abuse, and, finally, how we can put what we know into action, so that victims can transition into survivors who see that hope, help, and holistic healing is possible. Joyce Kyles is a nationally credentialed advocate, speaker, trainer, author, and survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault.

BEST FRIED CHICKEN ★ BOM 1. Gus’s Fried Chicken 2. Jack Pirtle’s Chicken 3. Uncle Lou’s Fried Chicken

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22 BEST KID-FRIENDLY RESTAURANT 1. Huey’s 2. Belly Acres 3. Mellow Mushroom Kids love Huey’s because it’s a place where they’re encouraged to break all the rules. Who needs a coloring book when you can draw on the walls while waiting for your burger? Or you can turn your drinking straw into a rocket launcher and sink frill picks in the ceiling tiles. Grown-ups like it for the same reason. Also, because the Smokey Melt burger is perfection on toast. Numerous locations make it convenient. Best of all, Huey’s never stops innovating. The menu’s always full of old favorites and new things to try.

Gus’s hot and spicy fried chicken has come a long way since the 1950s when Napoleon and Maggie Bonner opened their first little shack in Mason. Today, it’s a certifiable phenomenon that regularly tops national “best of” lists. Also, what was once a local favorite is now a growing franchise opening new stores all the time. BEST PLACE FOR DESSERT 1. Beauty Shop 2. Flight — tie — Paulette’s Restaurant 3. Tart Ching’s Hot Wings

BEST HOT WINGS 1. Ching’s Hot Wings 2. Central BBQ 3. Alex’s Tavern

BEST DESSERT SHOP ★ BOM 1. Muddy’s Bake Shop 2. The Cheesecake Corner 3. Frost Bake Shop Muddy’s must be putting actual Prozac in the chocolate Prozac cupcakes, because y’all are obviously addicted. An overwhelming majority of votes went to Kat Gordon’s kitschy bake shop — home of the best cupcakes, cookies, bars (OMG, vegan peanut butter bars!), and pies. BEST FROZEN TREAT SHOP 1. Jerry’s Sno Cones 2. YoLo Frozen Yogurt 3. La Michoacana

Maybe it’s the wings that make Ching’s special. The Honey Gold are sweet and tangy, and the Suicide can light up the lips and make the endorphins flow. It might also be the Ramen noodleseasoned fries. Or that concoction they call Blue Drink.

October 1-7, 2015

Chef Karen Carrier’s ability to introduce just the right amount of sweetness into her savory, spicy dishes almost makes dessert unnecessary as a concept. After all, a Pimm’s Cup with watermelon and wings covers all cravings in a single plate. Nevertheless, the Beauty Shop’s daily dessert specials are always a treat. While the restaurant’s menu tends to be forward-thinking, you can’t go wrong with classic oldfashioned coconut and red velvet cakes.

Who waits in line for 30 minutes for a sno cone? Memphians do! At least, if it’s a sno cone from Jerry’s. With a massive menu of flavors, a reputation

BEST SMOOTHIES/JUICES 1. The Cosmic Coconut — tie — Smoothie King 2. Tropical Smoothie Café 3. Raw Girls Our readers appreciate local businesses, but they also love convenience. That may explain why the locally owned Cosmic Coconut tied with the Smoothie King chain. There’s only one Cosmic Coconut, the all-vegan juice and smoothie shop, but there are three locations of Smoothie King spread across the city. Either way, the chocolate-covered almond smoothie (almonds, banana, cacao, and coconut) at the Coconut and the super nutty grain smoothie (vegan protein, super grains, peanut butter, and banana) at Smoothie King are equally delicious.

When it comes to Italian fare, our readers like the swanky Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen. We’re guessing it has something to do with Newman Farm pork served with fennel, passatelli, pancetta, and red peas. Or maybe it was that famous chocolate sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel and gelato. BEST MEDITERRANEAN 1. Casablanca Restaurant 2. Kwik Chek 3. Petra Café There is much to love about Casablanca, but we think their smoky baba ghanoush is the best in town. If you’re looking for falafel, chicken shawarma, kabobs, or couscous, this East Memphis eatery is the place to go. It’s so popular that they’re expanding soon with a new location in Midtown. BEST NEW AMERICAN 1. Hog & Hominy 2. Beauty Shop 3. Bounty on Broad It’s Italian and Southern. It’s relaxed and refined. It’s neckbone gravy and crème fraîche. All of it has made Hog & Hominy a hit machine for Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman, the wonderboys of Brookhaven Circle.

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food (not Tex-Mex!), Las Delicias has you covered with baked pork leg tortas, charro beans, chicken hot tamales, or flan Napolitano. They’re locally famous for their crispy, hand-fried tortilla chips and chunky guacamole, which is sold at the restaurant and area grocery stores. BEST CAJUN/CREOLE 1. Bayou Bar & Grill 2. DeJavu 3. The Second Line With several varieties of Abita on draft (including the high-gravity Abita Andygator), a menu of po’boys and gator chili cheese fries, and Mardi Gras beads hanging from the ceiling, the Bayou Bar & Grill is where locals go when they don’t have time to drive six hours south to New Orleans.

Besides the ubiquitous fried rice, lo mein, and egg rolls, Mulan offers a menu of authentic Szechuan cuisine from the Sichuan province in Southwestern China. That portion of the menu features hard-to-find (in Memphis anyway) items like tofu with preserved egg, sliced beef and offal in chili sauce, and crispy tiny fish with peanuts. But the less adventurous can find plenty to eat on Mulan’s massive menu that also includes sushi. BEST THAI 1. Bhan Thai 2. Bangkok Alley 3. Jasmine Thai & Vegetarian Three words — pad see ew. No Thai place in town can touch Bhan Thai’s version of this traditional Thai dish of flat rice noodles with garlic, carrots, broccoli and your choice of chicken, pork, beef, or tofu. But pretty much everything at Bhan Thai is the best — the pad thai, the panang curry, or the cashew nut stir-fry. The amazing patio and homey interior of the restaurant are pretty awesome, too. BEST VIETNAMESE 1. Pho Binh — tie — Pho Saigon 2. Saigon Le 3. Lotus Vietnamese Restaurant Whether it’s from Pho Binh or Pho Saigon, our readers love their Vietnamese food. The legendary lemongrass tofu and the all-you-caneat buffet surely swayed our readers to cast their votes for Pho Binh, but the greasy Bánh xèo (a savory crepe stuffed with meats or fried tofu, the ultimate hangover food) or the hearty bánh mì sandwich at Pho Saigon get equal love. BEST JAPANESE 1. Sekisui 2. Osaka Japanese Cuisine 3. Sakura Japanese Restaurant Sekisui has been serving sushi and other Japanese delights at various locations in Memphis for many years.

Bombay House India Palace on Poplar keeps drawing crowds — and votes for Best of Memphis — at its long-time Midtown location. Memphis fans of tandoori chicken, gulab jamun, rice kheer, and tasty naan bread say India Palace is the place to go. BEST HOME COOKING/ SOUL FOOD 1. Soul Fish Café 2. The Cupboard Restaurant 3. Alcenia’s Justifiably famous for its catfish, Soul Fish Café keeps its customers happy at three locations — Midtown, East Memphis, and Germantown. And those hush puppies, y’all! Mmm, good. BEST VEGETARIAN 1. Fuel Café 2. Café Eclectic 3. Imagine Vegan Café — tie — Whole Foods Market BEST FOOD TRUCK 1. Fuel Café 2. Central BBQ 3. Say Cheese! Flyer readers selected a new winner for Best Vegetarian. Fuel Café has been around for a while, serving delicious vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes at its funky former-gas-station locale on Madison. We’re betting that delicious Walnut Meatloaf is what put them over the top this year. And Fuel doubled down by also taking home the award for Best Food Truck. Way to go. Literally.

THANKS MEMPHIS FOR VOTING BHAN THAI IN THE CATEGORY OF

BEST THAI & BEST PATIO 28 28

BEST PLACE FOR PEOPLE-WATCHING 1. Beale Street 2. Peabody Lobby Bar 3. Flying Saucer Draught Emporium You want to watch people? Sure you do. It’s better than watching goldfish swim or grass grow. People are fun! And funny. And on Beale Street they’re drinking Big Ass Beers, eating tasty food, and dancing to great music. And that’s always worth watching. BEST PATIO 1. Lafayette’s Music Room 2. Celtic Crossing — tie — The Slider Inn 3. Bhan Thai Overton Square’s premier music hall got popular in a hurry, winning Best Patio for the first time. It’s easy to see why. Lafayette’s is a prime perch to watch the crowds go by while eating wonderful food and listening to great music. What’s not to like? BEST BAKERY 1. Muddy’s Bake Shop 2. La Baguette 3. Frost Bake Shop Muddy’s Bake Shop takes the cake again. This East Memphis icon won over Flyer voters with its Shady Wake, Cocoa Chanel, and Kick in the Pants pies and its top-rated cupcakes. It probably doesn’t hurt that Muddy’s has brought the sweetness to Midtown, as well. BEST DONUT SHOP ★ BOM 1. Gibson’s Donuts 2. Howard’s Donuts 3. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Few places live in Memphis lore like Gibson’s Donuts. Whether it’s a simple hot glazed or an all-out maple bacon, Gibson’s draw has Memphians lining up day and night (and then we post about it on social media). BEST COFFEEHOUSE 1. Café Eclectic — tie — Muddy’s Coffee and Bake Shop (formerly Grind House) 2. Otherlands Coffee Bar 3. Republic Coffee Café Eclectic and Muddy’s Coffee and Bake Shop tied for Best Coffeehouse, but one thing is clear — our readers must like baked goods with their cup of joe. Café Eclectic offers up handmade donuts and vegan pies with their Illy brews, and Muddy’s customers can pair their cup with a cupcake. BEST BREWERY 1. Wiseacre Brewing Co. 2. Ghost River Brewing 3. Memphis Made Brewing Co.

Memphis can’t get enough Wiseacre. Their expansion tells us so. More than that, Wiseacre is engrained in our culture now. Consider these words: Tarasque, Ananda, and Tiny Bomb. These mean something (and something good) in Memphis now.

BEST CHEF 1. Kelly English, Five Spot/Restaurant Iris/The Second Line 2. Andrew Ticer and Michael Hudman, Andrew Michael/Hog & Hominy/ Porcellino’s 3. Felicia Willett, Felicia Suzanne’s — tie — Michael Patrick, Rizzo’s Diner — tie — Patrick Reilly, Majestic Grille

BEST BEER SELECTION (STORE) 1. Madison Growler/ Memphis Cash Saver 2. Buster’s Liquors & Wines 3. Joe’s Wines & Liquors

If Kelly English doubts that Memphis loves him, he should consider that he’s topped this list every year since 2009. He’s familiar with the end zone, but hopefully, he’ll still give us a touchdown dance.

Burly beer guys aren’t much for romance. But you should just see ’em at Cash Saver. They skip down the aisles through the rainbow of ales and lagers. And when they see their receipts, they look thankfully skyward like the rainy freedom scene in Shawshank Redemption.

Memphis Minded When Rhodes College moved from Clarksville, Tennessee, to Memphis in 1925 under the leadership of President Charles E. Diehl, it was, Diehl said at the time, “the chance of a lifetime” to re-create an institution of excellence in a central location that provides easy access to students from all over, along with greater opportunities for them to learn both inside and outside the classroom. Ninety years later, President Diehl’s vision is being fully realized, as Rhodes students —who currently represent 45 states and 35 countries—are contributing to the Memphis community in immeasurable ways by fully engaging with the city’s culture, people, and causes.

EVERYWEATHERMAN The heel wrestlers had a nickname for Dave Brown. They called the smoothtalking WMC meteorologist/wrestling announcer the “Weather Clown.” It was supposed to be an insult, but it’s also a great description of the beloved Memphis broadcaster who retired from WMC-TV in August after more than 50 years on the air. Brown was never a joker and he took his job as a weatherman seriously. But, like all good clowns, he possessed a deeply silly side too, as well as the ability to comfort us and move us to tears. Brown’s roots are in radio, but in 1968 he migrated to television, becoming the dapper host of WHBQ-TV’s midday movie show, Dialing for Dollars. In the ’70s, he joined the weather team at WMC-TV. Through it all — or most of it, anyway — there was wrestling. It didn’t matter if pencil-necked performance comic Andy Kaufman fought women or wild man wrestler Terry Funk smashed his own head bloody with a metal folding chair. In the midst of the chaos, Brown remained as crisp and unrumpled as his suits. He was a similarly calm and calming presence when interrupting our favorite sitcoms to report on severe weather events like the 1994 ice storm or the devastating straight-line wind known as Hurricane Elvis. Brown, a tireless and convincing advocate for sober driving and better DUI laws, shared his grief just as calmly when his daughter and granddaughter were killed by a drunk driver in 1997. Funny men are a dime a dozen. We trust our clowns with so much more than laughter, and Dave Brown the Weather Clown will be sorely missed. WMC

The airwaves are alive with this volunteer-run radio station. Spinning tunes from country to hip-hop, and jazz to rockabilly, there’s something for all of us at WEVL.

BEST NEW CULTURAL AMENITY: HATTILOO THEATRE The Hattiloo Theatre recently completed its first season in its new custom-built home on Overton Square and is currently celebrating a 10th anniversary. Since arriving on the Square the Afro-Americancentric theater company has maintained its focus while partnering with groups like Indie Memphis and New Ballet Ensemble. Perhaps, more importantly, it’s become home to regular panel discussions and forums about culture, history, and social justice. From zero to institution in 10 years is impressive. And if this first year in the new space is any indication, the best really is yet to come. — Chris Davis BEST BURGER: THE OSHI BURGER I don’t eat hamburgers all that often, but when I do, I like to do it right, so I go to the Oshi Burger Bar downtown and order the Oshi Burger ($12). This thing is ridiculously good: wagyu Kobe American beef dressed with a soy glaze, shiitake mushroom tapenade, Swiss cheese, and umami mayonnaise. Banzai! — Bruce VanWyngarden BEST NEW BAND: CHICKASAW MOUND Made up of members of the Sheiks, Blackberries, and Aquarian Blood, Chickasaw Mound deliver soulful garage rock like no other band in Memphis. Singer Jesse Davis is one of the most promising local front men in recent memory, and his backing band of seasoned players speaks for itself. Save this band’s debut single because it’ll be worth a small fortune one day. — Chris Shaw BEST RIDE: BASS PRO’S ELEVATOR If you haven’t taken the nation’s tallest freestanding elevator to the top of the Bass Pro Pyramid yet, now’s the time, now that the summer crowds have thinned. It costs $10, but there are drinks and appetizers awaiting at the top — along with an incomparable view of Memphis and the Mississippi River. — BV BEST NEIGHBORHOOD TO IMPRESS: SOUTH MAIN South Main has everything you need to blow an out-of-town guest away when visiting Memphis. The hauntingly cool Earnestine & Hazel’s, the historic Arcade Restaurant, the hip Love Pop Soda Shop, and all of the amazing local boutiques like Hoot + Louise help make a Memphis day and evening a memorable one. If you want to show someone what Memphis is

like, take them down to the arts district, especially on the last Friday of the month — you won’t regret it. — Alexandra Pusateri BEST FUTURE SITE FOR A PUBLIC ART GRAVEYARD: THE GREENSWARD Every city that has the bravery to commission public artworks should have the discretion to also designate a “Public Art Graveyard” where, when bulky artworks wear out their public welcome, they can be gracefully retired. The Public Art Graveyard would be an open space where children and animals could roam peacefully amidst statues glorifying questionable people, giant metal abstractions, and superannuated corporate fountains. The Overton Park Greensward, that out-of-the-way patch of grass recently commandeered by the Zoo for parking space, would be a perfect place for Memphis’ yet-unrealized Public Art Graveyard. — Eileen Townsend BEST SOUND PERSON: ALYSSA MOORE All hail the dive bar that could. Not only does Murphy’s give all the door money to the bands performing, they also have a dedicated sound person who goes the extra mile to make touring and local bands sound as good as they possibly can. Tip your bartender and buy Alyssa a drink when you see her behind the sound board at Murphy’s, she deserves it. — CS

BEST NEW MEMPHIS-BASED COMPANY: LYFE KITCHEN We’re still in disbelief that LYFE Kitchen, the healthy fast-casual restaurant chain, moved their headquarters from techobsessed Palo Alto, California, to barbecueobsessed Memphis. But they did, and we’re thrilled about it. LYFE, which stands for Love Your Food Everyday, offers wholesome gourmet meals in a casual fastfood environment at their East Memphis location. Nothing is fried, and no white sugar or white flour is used. And you won’t find a soda on the menu. You will find lots of vegan and gluten-free options, creamy smoothies, salads, wraps, and even breakfast. We’re fans of the veggie burger with avocado and smoky pepper aioli on ciabatta bread with kale salad on the side. LYFE will soon be opening a second location downtown in the remodeled Chisca building. — Bianca Phillips BEST REASON TO SAVE THE COLISEUM: MEMPHIS’ PRESERVATIONISTS Remember when a developer said Midtown’s last best chance for Overton Square was demolishing all the existing buildings and erecting a suburbanstyle grocery store where the parking garage now stands? Because that almost happened. Today, Memphians turn out in huge numbers to enjoy free concerts at the Levitt Shell in Overton Park. They can do so because, for 20 years, a group called Save Our Shell kept it from being torn down. We enjoy Overton Park because an even earlier group of activists kept it from being cut in half by an interstate extension. Today music tourism pumps hundreds of millions of dollars into Memphis’ economy annually even though Beale Street was leveled and mostly shuttered into the ’80s. Stax was completely demolished, and Sun was once empty and ripe for redevelopment. Even if you don’t know what the Coliseum might someday become, you’ve got to give credit where it’s due: The preservationists have a pretty good track record. — CD BEST VEGAN LUNCH: PINK DIVA CUPCAKERY Don’t let the name fool you — Pink Diva Cupcakery offers more than cupcakes.

Cassi Conyers serves up hot vegan comfort food from the space formerly occupied by DeJaVu on Florida. Ramen bowls, nachos, and vegan mac ‘n’ cheese bowls come with unlimited toppings (kale, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.). Conyers makes good use of her deep fryer with fried spicy barbecue tofu and fried vegan fish filets. There’s a chickpea salad sandwich named The Susan (after Flyer managing editor Susan Ellis) and occasional daily specials, such as stuffed tofu manicotti. Saturdays feature a menu of breakfast all day! — BP BEST BEER GARDEN: STATION NO. 3: THE MEMPHIS FIREHAUS Technically, Station No. 3: The Memphis Firehaus had not started as of press time, but we already know it’s going to be best beer garden of 2015. That’s because the team behind the fall pop-up event at the abandoned firehouse at Third and MLK has already hosted one awesome beer garden this past spring — The Revival at the Tennessee Brewery. Now Benjamin Orgel, Paul Stephens, Logan Scheidt, and J.C. Youngblood are taking the concept to the old firehouse. Every Thursday through Sunday, from October 1st through November 30th, Station No. 3: The Memphis Firehaus will be open with local craft beers, food trucks, live music, and Griz-watching parties. — BP BEST READER: JANET SIDES All my fellow WYPL nerds, can I get a WOOP WOOP!? Memphis Public Library ’s WYPL radio station offers readings of books and local and national publications as well as other programming. There’s a certain comfort in the routine of WYPL — the reading of the sports section or TV section of The Commercial Appeal in the mornings, etc. I’ve picked up more than a few books after hearing a half hour or so on WYPL. And then there’s the great pleasure of how various readers handle omitting the bad words from copy. My favorite is “expletive deleted.” “The man said, ‘Now hold on, you expletive deleted! You’re telling me that expletive deleted just expletive deleted my wife?’” It’s expletive deleted awesome! One reader who’s caught my ear is Janet Sides. I once heard her read a story from the Flyer. I knew the story was good, but when Sides took it on, she made the story sing — the cadences of her voice taking the listener through a wild ride, an expert pause after a joke a tonal rim shot. And great respect to her for her tackling of James Clavell’s epic, over 1,000-page 63 63 Shōgun. — Susan Ellis m e m p h i s f l y e r. c o m

There Will Be Blood

Splatter zones!

By Chris Davis

Carrie: the Musical director Courtney Oliver thinks she knows why some critics have described earlier productions of the Stephen Kinginspired musical as being anticlimactic. It’s the blood. “When people think of Carrie, that’s what they think of,” Oliver says. “They think of Sissy Spacek at the prom. They think of the big eyes. Or they think of the shower scene. Either way, it’s a bloody Carrie.” There are good reasons why theaters tend to suggest blood with lighting and other effects. Dumping a bucket of stage blood means somebody has to get it off the set and out of the costumes. Somebody has to clean wigs and reset them. And then there’s the question of wireless microphones that are seldom waterproof. Fake blood is a real mess. “I can’t promise,” Oliver says, acknowledging that things may not go her way. “But we’re going to dump blood on Carrie. It’s going to splatter. If it works out, we’ll need to warn the audience in the first two or three rows that they might be in a splatter zone.” Oliver was 6 years old when her mom read King’s novel about teenage bullies, broken families, and a girl with special powers. She was forbidden to read the book, but her mom shared bits and pieces. “She really enjoyed telling me the bedtime story about people who were mean to this girl, and how the girl would retaliate by moving things with her mind.” A few years later Oliver snuck the book out of her house and read it cover to cover. She’s read every novel King’s written since and can quote chapter and verse. “Carrie’s opening line is one of my favorites,” Oliver says. “‘Deep down we all knew this would happen, down in the parts of our hearts where savage things grow.’ It’s all about how much you can take.” Oliver hopes to highlight Carrie’s similarities to the Cinderella story, and thinks University of Memphis grad Maggie Robinson has what it takes to turn lyrics about distant thunder into a Disney princess song. “Maggie’s got this beautiful smile and these dimples,” Oliver says. “It’s hard not to love her. Because of that we have a tragedy.”

Raise Your Stein By Bianca Phillips If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. That’s the theory behind combining High Cotton Brewing Co.’s second annual Oktoberfest with opening weekend of Station 3: The Memphis Firehaus beer garden on Saturday, October 3rd. “We decided that it’d be a good idea for us to do the event together rather than compete against each other since we’re going out for the same crowd,” says Benjamin Orgel, one of the partners organizing the fall pop-up beer garden at the long-vacant firehouse at Third and MLK Avenue. This is opening weekend for Station 3: The Memphis Firehaus, a follow-up to last spring’s highly successful beer garden in the Tennessee Brewery. And it’s also the weekend High Cotton Brewing Co. was planning to hold its Oktoberfest. Last year, the daylong, all-you-can-drink beer fest was held at the brewery in the Edge District. But this year, it will run from noon to 6 p.m. at the old firehouse. They’re debuting their German Fall Lager at the event, and High Cotton co-owner Ryan Staggs said they’ll have a couple of other German-style beers, as well as their mainstays, ESB and Scottish Ale. A Bavarian meal from Central BBQ is included in the cost of the ticket — $40 online in advance or $50 on the day of the event. Unlike last year’s event, there will be no V.I.P. area and no glass mugs. Staggs said they’re going with a plastic mug for safety reasons. “It’s an event-safe vessel. Broken glass is never a good thing for a beer fest,” Staggs says. After the Oktoberfest event is over on Saturday, the Firehaus will open to the general public for the rest of the evening. Station 3: The Memphis Firehaus officially opens on Thursday, October 1st with multiple taps and food trucks. It will be open every Thursday through Sunday until November 30th.

100% Fresh Thoughts on the new Juicy J mixtape.

Juicy J

October 1-7, 2015

uicy J has been on a tear since teaming up with Wiz Khalifa and Taylor Gang, releasing mixtape after mixtape in addition to the 2013 album Stay Trippy. In the past few years, Juicy J has collaborated with big names like Miley Cyrus, 2 Chainz, and Lil Wayne, coming up with more catchphrases than all of those artists combined in the process. Since reviving his rap career, one of Juicy J’s strengths has been his ability to turn questionable subject matter into humorous material. If Stay Trippy was Juicy J’s coming-out party as a club-anthem rapper, then 100% Juice confirms that the Memphis rapper is still content to rap about drugs, sex, non-stop partying, and not much else. Yes, it’s safe to say that the era of bloody, gruesome, and offensive subject matter found on almost every Three 6 Mafia song featuring Juicy J is over. But that doesn’t mean Juicy J has become any less inappropriate. In the new world of Juicy J, blood and guts have been replaced by strippers and blunts. I dissected his latest mixtape to get a better sense of where the Memphis legend finds himself during his career. For those unfamiliar with Juicy J, club rap, or most popular music in 2015, it’s important to realize that this is not your mom and dad’s “Rappers Delight” type of material. There are probably 2,000 F-bombs on 100% Juice, not to mention all the other words I can’t repeat here and the drug references Juicy and his guests use over and over and over. While Juicy J has definitely been the most successful

Memphis rapper of the last five years (with his only rivals perhaps being Yo Gotti and Don Trip), he was not a part of the latest reincarnation of Three 6 Mafia (Da Mafia 6ix), nor does he play locally very often. But on “Shut Da Fuc Up,” Juicy sounds like he never left home. The beat sounds like a reimagined Project Pat song, particularly from the Ghetty Greenera. There’s also a line in the song where Juicy gives a shout out to “(La) Chat, (Crunchy) Black, (DJ) Paul, and (Project) Pat,” which squashes any ideas that Juicy J forgot where he came from after finding greener pastures. There are even a few Mafia-gang vocals thrown in on the song for good measure. Perhaps this is the mass appeal of Juicy J’s new brand of mainstream rap. To stay relevant in mainstream hip-hop, and pop music in general, the artist must constantly reinvent himself, and while Juicy J has crossed over as a rap/pop star, he continues to utilize the tools that made Three 6 Mafia one of the biggest underground rap groups of all time. Sure, there was the questionable Miley Cyrus collaboration with last 2013’s “23,” but I can forgive him for that. And it’s not surprising that a mega-star like Cyrus would want to collaborate with someone like Juicy J for the “street cred,” even though I seriously doubt that anyone now considers Miley Cyrus to be “gangster,” “hard,” or anything other than a pop star. Let’s just consider “23” to be the modern version of Mariah Carey and Ol’ Dirty continued on page 69

On “Ain’t No Rappers,” Juicy J confirms that he still has gangsters on his payroll, even if he is hanging out with pop stars. “Ain’t No Rappers” sees Juicy J at his lyrical best, specifically the lines “my homeboys ain’t no rappers, they ain’t doin shows, they not in no videos, they too busy moving dope.” This cadence is similar to Juicy J’s flow on “Bandz a Make Her Dance,” making for one of the best songs on the mixtape. Khalifa appears on the song “Scrape,” along with the album’s most used special guest, Project Pat. Khalifa does sound a little bit out of place on this otherwise street-smart mixtape, but maybe that’s just because I will always associate Khalifa with the downright-weak rap hit “Roll Up.” Project Pat comes in on the third verse of “Scrape,” and the song gets its much needed tough-guy edge back.

DJ Scream, responsible for all the interludes on 100% Juice, introduces the most star-studded track, the remix of the song “Film” featuring Boosie Badazz, Future, and G.O.D. Sadly, most of the lyrical content on “Film” is a little bit too explicit for print. Lil Wayne shows up on the next track “Mrs. Mary Mack,” a love song dedicated to marijuana. A song about loving weed on a Juicy J mixtape? Imagine that. Lil Wayne’s verse on “Mrs. Mary Mack” is forgettable until the mega-star gives his condolences to original Three 6 Mafia member Lord Infamous. Lil Wayne shouting out Lord Infamous? We must really be living in Juicy J’s world. On the song “Real,” Juicy J shows he hasn’t lost his sense of humor. The rapper claims that Obama invites him to his barbecues in Atlanta and later claims that he will throw an alligator in your bed and watch you dance. Pretty awesome stuff. Most of the time, rap albums feature one to three legitimate hits, and mixtapes can feature even less. With 100% Juice, Juicy J offers a plethora of club-ready anthems, proving that the Memphis rapper is still one of the best in the game. 100% Juice is available for free download at www.datpiff.com

RUN THE JEWELS AT MINGLEWOOD HALL You know you’re doing something right when you announce your cat-themed remix album, and people are actually excited about it. That’s just what New York City hip-hop duo Run the Jewels did following the hype of their Run the Jewels 2 album that came out late last year, and music critics and fans alike were thrilled. The super group will return to Minglewood Hall this coming Tuesday, right in the middle of an incredibly star-studded lineup for the Midtown music venue that includes appearances by Danzig, Father John Misty and Death Grips. With politically-conscious lyrics and mastermind production, Run the Jewels have been widely considered to be exactly what the hip-hop world needs in 2015. One of Killer Mike’s strongest lyrical traits is his ability to speak on police brutality, and the subject even brought him to tears at a now infamous live show in St. Louis in which he spoke out on the verdict of the Mike Brown case. Joining Run the Jewels on Tuesday’s bill is CUZ Lightyear, the Little Rock, Arkansas, M.C. who recently dropped the CUZ mixtape. Little Rock isn’t exactly known as a hotbed for emerging hip-hop talent, but CUZ has been gaining a steady following after releasing the singles “Return Call” and “Choppa Go Bang.” Also on the tour is Boots, the rapper most known for his involvement with the Fifty Shades of Grey version of the Beyoncé mega-hit “Drunk in Love.” Boots has also worked with FKA twigs and produced Run the Jewels 2, pushing his hipster hip-hop cred into critical overload. Consider buying tickets in advance, because just like the Danzig gig the next night, there is a good chance the show will sell out. As for Meow the Jewels, it’ll drop this fall. — Chris Shaw Run the Jewels, Boots, CUZ Lightyear, Tuesday, October 6th at Minglewood Hall. 8 p.m. doors, $20.

Wandering

Taking on New Orleans by the neighborhood.

October 1-7, 2015

bourg” means “suburb.”) It sits next door to the Bywater and is also mostly residential with some great neighborhood establishments. Mimi’s in the Marigny was voted Best Bar in New Orleans by the Gambit. I’m pretty sure that says a lot. A two-story corner bar, Mimi’s has the hipsters and millennials and long-time locals and seersuckers and tattooed faces and artists, walls of windows, a pool table and dart board, and food. The best tapas this side of the Atlantic, in fact. Just close your eyes and point to something on the menu, and you’ll be grand. The Orange Couch is a great little coffee shop with mochi Japanese ice cream, and at one point, their Wi-Fi password was “rickjames.” Cross Elysian Fields to the Marigny Triangle, the real entertainment district. Many say Frenchmen Street has jumped the shark. I do remember the days when reservations were not a must to get into Three Muses, my personal favorite. I had a moment there. Wandering at high tea, I heard a blind Frenchman wafting ac-

arnassus: home to the Muses, sacred to Dionysus and Apollo, and generally a center of creative activity. Also known as New Orleans. Creativity is part of the air you breathe in this mythological city. The street names, the mispronunciation of street names — ride the streetcar just to listen to the conductor. Locals dedicate entire rooms to costumes in this City of Festivals. Wandering is the best way to see it. That’s when you run into the milliner or the sno-ball stand that uses Louisiana cane sugar. Wander on your bike. Just recognize that the city was built on a swamp, so there are lots and lots and lots of potholes. And don’t be alarmed by how many people talk to you — it’s a stoop city. So how does one break it down in a city so filled with … history/bon vivance/ inspiration and food? By neighborhood. Let’s start with the Bywater. There is a strong tinge of mini-Williamsburg to the neighborhood, but this section of the Ninth Ward is mostly residential, populated with Creole cottages and shotguns, with the little coffee shop here and the little junk store there. I’m a big fan of Booty’s Street Food, a virtual global food truck fest for around $10/dish. They have “globally inspired cocktails” and, say it with me, Stumptown coffee. Slick interior with friendly staff, outdoor seating and plenty of bike racks and dog bowls, and arguably the most interesting bathroom in New Orleans — the Bywaterloo, a set of washroom galleries curated by the owner, a travel journalist. Other places to check out include Bon Castor, with locally handmade goods; Maurepas, doing the local purveyor and hand-crafted cocktail thing, and well; Satsuma, the coffee shop and juice place; and two of my all-time favorite places in New Orleans — Elizabeth’s and Bacchanal Wine. Elizabeth’s I can’t even begin to suggest something. They take all the usual suspects — po’boys, eggs Florentine, shrimp and grits — mix them up, throw in some surprises, and everything is done to exact measure. I have a romance with Bacchanal Wine. Think wine shop with an elaborate backyard of all the leafy trimmings, lit by a lone strand or two of Christmas lights, well-curated live music on a rickety stage, and affordable and divine small plates that change frequently. Next, the Faubourg Marigny (pronounced FO-burg MAR-i-nee. “Fau-

New Orleans is the City of Festivals.

cordion music out of this little gem, where I later heard Walloonian Helen Gillet chirping French chansons and playing the cello with a loop. I cried. But it might have been the Warm Chocolate Cream Cheese Brownie. Frenchmen is still quite possibly the best place to hear the best live jazz music in the world. Wander and pop in and out of all the venues. It’s usually only a one-drink minimum. Eat at Adolfo’s, a pocket-sized place with big taste offering Italian Cajun-Creole. You’ll have to wait, but it won’t matter, because you just head downstairs to the equally small Apple Barrel for another hit of phenomenal music. Well, folks, we’re out of space, so we’ll make our way further upriver another time. In the meantime, I’ll take one for the team and do some more research for you. Also. Take cash. Some places require it. The musicians live off of it. And it might be someone’s birthday.

FOOD NEWS By John Klyce Minervini

Fresh Start

October 1-7, 2015

ne problem with dining out in 21stcentury America is that we don’t feel connected to our food. A plate of picture-perfect avocado toast with fried egg and cracked pepper lands on the table in front of us. But who grew it? Who cooked it? For all we know, it may have come from outer space. Happily, the pendulum has begun to swing in the other direction. In Midtown, two new restaurants focus on reconnecting Memphians with (respectively) their neighborhoods and their bodies, and this food writer is happy to recommend them. The first is Mardi Gras Memphis, just across the street from Crosstown Concourse. This comfy Cajun restaurant is owned and run by Penny Henderson and her large, extended family. Walk through the front door, and you may feel

as though you’ve just married in. “In South Louisiana, we celebrate everything with food,” explains Henderson, with a wry smile. “If you put up a ceiling fan, everybody’s coming over for gumbo.” Originally from Lake Charles, Louisiana, Henderson moved to Memphis last year for work. (By training, she is an addictions therapist.) In March, she made a pot of gumbo for an office party, a casual move that turned out to be serendipitous. Her coworkers licked their bowls, and by June, she had opened a restaurant. “Seven weeks ago, we had not cooked for anybody but our families,” Henderson confesses. “We didn’t know anything about anything. We just jumped in.” Taste Henderson’s Crawfish Corn Chowder ($4.95), and you’ll be glad she did. It boasts a near-perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a full-bodied corn flavor that’s as rich and deep as a Louisiana sunset.

Henderson says she learned to cook for her five kids, cobbling together recipes from friends, family, and fellow churchgoers. “There’s a huge reward in seeing people get better, live better, feel better,” Henderson reflects. “And that’s the same feeling I get when I cook for people. For me, it’s about sharing. It’s about fellowship.” The other stand-out menu item is the Étouffée Stuffed Po’boy ($10.49). It starts with the bread — French rolls from Gambino’s Bakery in New Orleans — which has been flash-fried for extra crispiness. Then it’s sliced, scooped, and loaded up with Henderson’s signature étouffée, expertly prepared from a gorgeous, dark-brown roux. The crisp crunch, the hearty stew — this is the kind of food that warms you up inside. Mardi Gras Memphis Restaurant 496 N. Watkins, 530-6767 mardigrasmemphisrestaurant.com

Now open: Mardi Gras Memphis and I Love Juice Bar.

Scott Tashie had a come-to-Jesus moment and opened a juice bar. Every hard-core juice fan has a cometo-Jesus moment. For Scott Tashie, it happened on Manhattan Beach, outside of Los Angeles. At the time, Tashie was a professional golfer playing in the Long Beach Open. Then a friend handed him a glass of green juice, and his life changed forever. Describing the experience, his voice drops to a reverential whisper. “It was so … fresh,” Tashie recalls. “But it also had the flavor to it! I just couldn’t

M E M P H I S O N T H E B AY O U

believe it. I knew I had to have this stuff in my life.” The day he flew home to Memphis, Tashie acquired a Breville juicer, and the rest is history. In 2012, he bought the Cosmic Coconut, a vegetarian café in East Memphis. A couple of weeks ago, he opened I Love Juice Bar, a juice bar in Cooper-Young. Why juice? For Tashie, it’s more than fresh flavors. It’s a way to eat healthy that also happens to be affordable and quick.

“I had my juice this morning,” Tashie recalls, “and I was thinking. There’s a cup and a half of kale in here. There are two stalks of celery, a whole carrot, and an apple. It’s ready in a few minutes, and you can take it in the car with you. That’s pretty good!” I should confess: Before last week, I was leery of green juice. Because if God had meant for us to drink vegetables, he would have made them taste like oranges. Right? Wrong. After some hemming and hawing, I agreed to taste the Ginger Greens Juice ($5.50), and I have to tell you: It’s delicious. Made with ginger, apple, kale, spinach, cucumber, parsley, and lemon, it’s like a big wallop of happiness — sweet and spicy and bright green. Try it, and you just might have your own come-to-Jesus moment. I Love Juice Bar serves a lineup of grab-and-go food items, including Quinoa Kale Salad ($4.50) and Spring Rolls ($5.95). Enjoy one in their trendy café space, or pick it up at a festival. The “Green Machine” is a lime-green 1979 Volkswagen van that functions as a food truck, bringing Tashie’s gospel of juice to the heathen hordes. I Love Juice Bar 553 S.

Ben Mendelsohn and Ryan Reynolds in Mississippi Grind

All In

Mississippi Grind is a gambling movie with heart. B y C h r i s M c C o y When you’re a critic, you have to see a lot of movies you wouldn’t normally watch. One of the great pleasures is discovering that a movie is good, even though the premise or subject matter turns you off. This is the case with Mississippi Grind, a good movie which features two things I normally avoid: gambling and Ryan Reynolds. I’m way too poor and nervous to enjoy gambling. I just don’t see the attraction, and my admittedly few trips to casinos have been exercises in boredom and misery. But crappy drinks and crappier music are nothing compared to the misery a raging gambling addiction has inflicted on Gerry (Ben Mendelsohn). He’s a divorced 44-year-old who literally can’t keep the lights on because every dollar he makes as a (clearly crappy) real estate agent gets plowed back into casinos, backroom poker games, the ponies, or continued on page 88

agents dead. She is assigned as a liaison to Brolin’s Matt, who we instantly know is a jerk because he is introduced wearing flip-flops in an official meeting. The operation that Matt and Alejandro are running crisscrosses the border with impunity, which is the first red flag for the by-the-book Kate. Even though her character’s actions don’t really have much effect on the plot, Blunt makes for an extremely effective audience surrogate, and the movie is much better for having her in it to provide a rational point of view. If this had been Michael Mann directing a Miami Vice episode, the trigger-happy cops would be blazing away with impunity, and we would be expected to cheer every time Crockett and Tubbs violated someone’s Fourth Amendment rights. Kate points out time and time again that much of what the “good guys” are doing is illegal, only to be talked down to by her male superiors, all of whom assure her that what they are doing is for the greater good. Her personal tension escalates slowly through the film until it explodes in a devastating final scene where Villeneuve lays all of his thematic cards on the table. That the cops and robbers in the drug war might just be imperfect reflections of each other and that we’re just along for the brutal ride is not an uncommon theme, but rarely has it been so well-executed as in Sicario. And even more rare, Villeneuve is able and willing to spell out the toll this Kabuki dance is taking on civil society. Sicario’s biggest flaws come when it veers too far into the polemical, but thanks to Deakins, Blunt, and Del Toro, it never falls apart. Afterwards, I found myself thinking of Soderberg’s 2000

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

irst and foremost, Sicario proves that Roger Deakins is the best cinematographer working today. Just like a great actor can read from the phone book and make it interesting, Deakins could shoot a corporate training video, and it would be visually enthralling. Fortunately, Sicario gives him a lot more juicy material to work with than a primer on how to keep the fry grease warm at Wendy’s. Since it’s set on the Mexican border, Deakins gets to create the abstract desert landscapes that made the Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men and True Grit so rich and beautiful. But he’s not content to recreate past glories. Simple dialog scenes get thematically relevant visual treatment, such as the moment when idealistic FBI agent Kate (Emily Blunt) finally confronts CIA contractor Matt (Josh Brolin) about the morally and legally dubious goings-on she’s been brought in to fig leaf. Deakins shoots it wide with the actors dead center, their dark uniforms contrasting with the light tans of the scrublands. In the image, as in life, they’re small creatures in a huge, hostile world. He shoots one of the film’s most visually compelling sequences in night-vision infrared with a beauty most of his peers can’t summon in visible light. Deakins has been nominated for Best Cinematographer 12 times, including 2013’s Prisoners, which was the first time he collaborated with Sicario director Denis Villeneuve. But he’s never won, which is a travesty. Great as he is, Deakins is just one weapon in the director’s full arsenal. The other big gun is Benicio Del Toro as the mysterious Mexican “advisor” Alejandro. Del Toro is a fantastic actor who has been failed by his scripts and direction time and time again. Not so with Sicario. Del Toro constantly undercuts Alejandro’s steely, controlled exterior with the tired eyes of a burnout and little touches like a hand that quivers uncontrollably while he sleeps. His internal conflict mirrors Kate’s—and by extension, the audience’s—uncertainty as to exactly for whom he is working. Kate is drawn into his world after a spectacularly staged, door-kicking drug raid in Phoenix that uncovers a house of horrors instead of a trap house and leaves two

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy continued from page 87 whatever. If you can bet on it, he’s there. Gerry is grinding away at a poker table in darkest Iowa when in walks Curtis (Ryan Reynolds). At first, Curtis appears to be everything Gerry wants to be: a fully professional gambler who drinks Woodford Reserve whiskey because he knows when to walk away from a table. He’s good-looking, free, and easy, where Gerry is a total schlubby mess, weighed down by debts to everyone. While Curtis is there, Gerry cleans up in the poker game, and afterwards, the two bond over cheap liquor and darts. Curtis is trying to figure out a way to get to New Orleans to play at a secret, high-rolling poker game with a $25,000 buy-in. After a typically fun night on the town in which he gets stabbed, Gerry decides that the way out of his snowballing problems is to go with Curtis to New Orleans, hitting every dice table and poker shack along the way to raise the money for the climactic poker game that will solve all of their problems. Gerry is a walking, hamburger-eating gambler’s fallacy, and as he drives his sad Subaru through Memphis, Little Rock, and rural Mississippi, he slowly discovers that, despite his classy, poppedcollar blazers, Curtis is not much better. For much of its running time, Missis-

sippi Grind vacillates between hope for redemption and despair at the reality of losing hands and elusive sure things. It’s Mendelsohn’s sad puppy eyes that keep the film on track. No matter how many times he screws up and self-sabotages, he remains sympathetic. Surprisingly, Reynolds is just as good. Sure, he’s still a variation on the cool-bro persona that I and everyone who has ever seen Green Lantern find so grating, but slowly poking holes in his facade may be the masterstroke of directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Boden and Fleck, who collaborated on the 2006 addiction drama Half Nelson, manage to wring genuine tension out of the poker scenes, the best one of which is set in Memphis. The film has several Memphis connections, including production by Sycamore Pictures and some incidental score work by Scott Bomar. It’s a surprising film that wrests unexpected pleasures out of some extremely depressing situations, but it’s still not going to convince me to make a return visit to a casino any time soon.

THE LAST WORD by Randy Haspel

One Man

m e m p h i s f l y e r. c o m

It is amazing to see how one man is able to create such joy. He attracted thousands upon thousands of people of all races and religious backgrounds to galvanize around a common ideal. His followers clapped and cheered with the ecstasy that comes with the release of long-held, pentup emotion, and everyone seemed so happy. A record number of people watched him this week on national TV. Even longtime doubters who had previously lost faith are returning to the fold in record numbers. No, I’m not talking about Pope Francis. I’m talking about Justin Fuente. Did you see that game? I haven’t seen a shoot-out like that since Waco. Of course, I’m talking about the Memphis Tigers’ 53-46 win over Cincinnati last week. It was all you could ask for in a football game: 45,000 screaming fans, lots of scoring and suspense, thrilling long runs and acrobatic catches, and a key interception to end the game. What a way for the Tigers to make their national television debut. The Liberty Bowl wasn’t packed out, but I’ll bet it will be soon. The Fuente-coached Tigers were 7-17 after the first two seasons. Now they’ve won 11 in a row and are averaging almost 50 points a game. I’ll leave the stats to Geoff Calkins, but most impressive for me is that the Tigers are 4-0. The last time the Tigers went 4-0 was in 1961, and risking the revelation of my decrepitude, I was there. My father took me to the games of the thenMemphis State University in Crump Stadium when I was a child. That’s where I first learned to hate the Confederate flag. Ole Miss fans would come to town with lots of swagger and would take over the Peabody Hotel. They were drunk and obnoxious and treated Memphis like a home game. In the stadium, they would wave a sea of Stars and Bars flags and sing “Dixie” after every touchdown, with Colonel Reb smiling from the sidelines. The roar of that “Hotty Toddy” cheer still rings in my ears. It was among the first uses of public profanity heard in the South, and parents covered their children’s ears before the revolting Rebel fans yelled, “by damn!” The Memphis side of the stands responded with thundering chants of “Go to hell, Ole Miss, go to hell!” Dad didn’t object, so I guessed it was alright in this context. What amazed me most was my father’s reaction to a Memphis State touchdown. Not ordinarily a demonstrative man, he would leap to his feet, look at me, and holler, “whoo hoo hoo,” several times in a row. I always found it interesting that he had such enthusiasm when it wasn’t even his school. He just adopted the Tigers and passed the custody on to me. Billy “Spook” Murphy was coach in 1961, and the quarterback was the “golden boy,” James Earl Wright. I always smiled when I thought of what his monogrammed shirts spelled. Wright was injured, and the torch was passed to Central High graduate Russell Vollmer. Both men have since been inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. With Vollmer as quarterback, the Tigers went 26-3-1 in three seasons. Any old-timer can see the comparisons to Paxton Lynch. There’s a problem, unfortunately, with Coach Fuente. How you gonna keep him down on the farm after he’s seen the national spotlight? There’s no question that he’s already in demand at major colleges with huge football budgets, but since this is Fuente’s team, wouldn’t it be nice if he stayed in Memphis and built a powerhouse? Of course anything can happen, and like most fans, I’m not looking past the University of South Florida. But with an electrified fan base in Memphis, Ole Miss better watch their ass next time they come to town. And, oh yeah, the Pope was a winner too. Randy Haspel writes the “Recycled Hippies” blog, where a version of this column first appeared.
