Several areas have reported flooding overnight,...
Reports of the BP Oil Spill impacting farms in west Tennessee has been debunked. When a Tennessee TV station aired a report last month on mysterious damage afflicting crops in an area of the mid-South, it set off a firestorm of speculation as to the cause — with some bloggers blaming it on the...
Shane Ham is questioning some of the language of the Bass/Pyramid deal with the city of Memphis. He brings up several questions and has some food for thought. You need to read the whole thing but I pulled this out because it caught my eye and got me thinking. And the final major point...
