The Very Visible

Autozone Park

You might have seen the good news that the Visible School is purchasing Frances Gassner's endangered masterpiece, the C&I Bank Building:

C&I Bank Building

Beside the saving of an icon, the Visible School's purchase and move adds to the further redevelopment and reVITALization of central downtown Memphis. Within 4 blocks we'll have 2 colleges adding their students to the same street and into the urban mix. An unprecedented number of young adults on the streets of downtown Memphis during business hours.

Summer Drive-In Nights Numbered?

Bonnie and Clyde, seen at the Summer Drive-In in first runThe Commercial Appeal reported Sunday that the Summer Drive-In and the Perimeter Mall are "under contract to be bought by an unnamed group."

This can't be a good thing, especially since one of their screens burned down earlier this summer. Will the unnamed group maintain a drive-in?

Very unlikely.
