We started the 4th of July festivities by attending the neighborhood parade – Central Gardens / Carr Avenue Parade, a long-time tradition in this Midtown Neighborhood. The enthusiasm of the participants says a lot about this Midtown neighborhood.
Later in the day, a visit to the laid-back hospitality of Horseshoe Lake (Hughes, Arkansas) and the traditional July 4th Boat Parade (or is that regatta?)
They say on the news that it only takes 25 names on a petition and $100 Fee to run for Mayor of Memphis. I am contemplating a candidacy. It seems like a pretty cool part-time job. And the current Mayor’s real estate business has done pretty well while he has held office.
So, any supporters? Or maybe we should all run. That would make for an interesting race. I’ll sign your petition if you sign mine.
For many of us, Twitter has become a very useful communications tool for both personal and business uses; for some an addiction.
And still there are some that don’t “get” it. I think users and non-users will find this interview with Twitter founder Evan Williams interesting.
