Except, what is "Smith 7"?

smith 7 is a local record label/philanthropy/clothing company. They support a lot of local bands in the area. in the past, piston honda, my surrender, the holiday, dora, etc... released records under that banner. they exist as more of a clothing company now i believe. they also do a lot of fundraising and charity work throughout the city. brian vernon, the guy who runs smith 7, is a Memphis graduate and a huge Tiger fan.

Here's another...
You know who Boxcar Eddie is.

Also, weren't the names Getwell and Shotwell swapped?

Eddie lived in an old car behind the Bull Shot until some frat punk set it on fire. He did a good job cleaning up the area but the railroad folks didn't appreciate his "collection." He was always friendly and once told me he was, "Poor as a snake." RIP

I have been in Memphis for 10 years but until today I had never heard of Voodoo Village. What and where is/was that?

I still laugh when people in Memphis complain about traffic. I realized I hadn't experienced real traffic until I moved to Virginia and had to drive around DC and the Tidewater area. Many days Denver is not much better than DC.

smae here when i moved to austin. traffic is so much worse here. then i went to houston for a weekend. geez. if you ever want to treat yourself to a 10 hour traffic jam, then houston is your place.

Voodoo Village:
Voodoo Village is located on Mary Angela Road in southwest Memphis. According to residents, the area is home to St. Paul

You go to the grocery store if there is the slightest risk of ice and/or snow.

If you eat at Huey's at least once a week.

I got one.

Every true Memphian knows the TRUE meaning of the following sequence of numbers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

All I'll say is I was scared $hitless and was one of many who missed school that day. lol

We got a BINGO!

For those who don't know, here is a refresher course:

12-3 (December 3rd)
4:56 (4:56 am or pm)
7.8 (On the Richter Scale)
90 (The year)

The prediction was we would have an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 on the Richter Scale at 4:56 am or pm on December 3, 1990.

i know what you're talking about now. I never bought into that non-sense.


you know you're from Memphis whn 3 tornados or more are heading straight for your house, but always seem to jump right over you or bypass Memphis all together.

If you watched Dick Williams' "Magicland," followed up by the Jackson 5 cartoon.

The Voodoo Village reference is a classic. You can still see writing all over the street on Callis' cutoff too. My entry: You know you are from Memphis if you used to hang out at Krystal and McDonalds on Poplar and go to Sea Isle school to watch fights.

You know you are from Memphis when snow is predicted and freaking northern Mississippi, which is south of you, gets all of it while you get a GD cold rain.
