Having enough water flowing in America's rivers makes barge shipping possible. Having too much makes it impossible. Right now, there is much, much, much too much. https://t.co/VOniMlVF7x

In @MayorMemphis’ weekly update email, he touts four years of changes to city services and how his administration has paid for those changes. And, in an election year, he notes something else: taxes have gone down.

Where does one find good pizza in this town? Asking for myself.

What do San Francisco, Boulder and Memphis have in common? Hint: it has something to do with ⚡️⚡️⚡️https://t.co/xHnAtqzjDu

That really big site northeast of Memphis that Tennessee has spent gobs of 💰💰💰 on is attracting the interest, officials say. https://t.co/IU3BXtF8Zj

Statement:

[Memphis Business Journal @MBJReporter]

The incentives involved in this project have two former partners — Loews and THM — and @CityOfMemphis brawling with the owners of the Downtown Sheraton in court. Being able to use a special tax and your local sales tax $$ to pay off your loans is a big deal, it seems.

From yesterday: Loews, the apparent winner in the Memphis convention center hotel wars, says it never promised anything to its former partner, Townhouse Management Co. (owner of 100 N. Main). https://t.co/bBiwvYIYhJ

In a nutshell, this six-inch thick binder is about how dense, complex and dull @MLGW’s study of its power options is. Everyone follows me for the power supply commentary, I know.

[Memphis Business Journal @MBJReporter]

And, finally, I’m here at Benjamin Hooks Library for another @mlgw Power Supply Advisory Team meeting. You won’t be reading a meeting story about this, but a piece about a public utility evaluating its options is sort of normal — just not in @TVAnews.

Now, I’m in Bartlett at the Shelby County Joint Economic & Community Development Board. Gwyn Fisher of @TNECD is here presenting about the Memphis Regional Megasite, which has seen an uptick of interest in the past few months, she says. Don’t worry, you will read more about this.

Good morning, I’m at a Memphis Convention Center board meeting. Memphis Tourism has been concocting some new logos to pair with the $200 million in renovations, trying to evoke blues and the river. Here are some pictures:

@kyleveazey That’s accurate. ESPN needs to remedy that situation.

ICYMI: @NshBizGarner has been slaying it lately with @nashvillebiz cover stories. Did you read her compelling deep dive on the attempted rebound of the nation's oldest black-owned bank, in North Nashville?

Signs & speakers at @MEM_Council advocating for passage of incentives for @VisitGraceland. EPE head Joel Weinshanker has been searching for support in Whitehaven for those incentives, which have stalled at council. Graceland has already received about $140 million in tax breaks.

There’s the roof leak at Memphis City Hall in @MEM_Council chambers.
