Thanks for the heads up. I plan to buy one now.

What a great deal. Reading Geoff alone is worth $26.00. I just made my purchase but want to know if there is anyway I can exclude any of my subscription money going to Wendy Thomas?

Thanks OP!

That's Wendi C. Thomas.

Bought the Groupon but can't figure out how to redeem it!

When I bought mine, I just put my email in...then when I logged into CA online with the same email, I had all access

I used to read everyday religiously & would even get sucked in to all of the typical non sports stuff about Memphis. Since they went pay it was like ripping a bandaid off for me. It was hard at first & now I'm used to it. I don't miss it. & now I don't always get sucked in to the non sports stories therefore I don't have to deal with the perpetual failure of a city that I once called home. It's refreshing. All the stories of failed projects, downtown money pits, failing schools, corrupt leadership, incomplete or never started developments like OneBeale & the sort & the exodus of NWA/Delta, regions, sun trust/nbc, morgan keegan, BYB, Holliday Inn & any other memphis staple business don't bother me anymore because I don't even know what's going on. It's refreshing. I've sinced turned to the news sources of a progressive DFW Texas & I know that life exists outside of a failure full & racially tensioned city. So to me, even $1 per month wouldn't get me to bite.

& thanks to you fine folk, I still get all of my Tiger news.

BigD, I bet you're a hoot duriing the holidays.

I will never get over the exodus of NWA/Delta, regions, sun trust/nbc, morgan keegan, BYB, Holliday Inn & any other memphis staple business. Especially BYB. Every day in Memphis is a scene out of "I Am Legend."

No. Getting out is the best therapy. & I did that.

Dr. Phil is in Texas. Tell us when you go on BigD.

You couldn't pay me to read that piece of trash.

Having said that, this city is bursting with successful restaurants, new and old; new young entrepreneurs from other places who see its worth and potential; tons of goodwill among the races (there are more than two here, you know); a vibrant downtown, a thriving Cooper-Young, an exploding Overton Square, and a Crosstown about to take off on a multi-million dollar Sears Building renewal; thriving neighborhoods with a Greenline, dog parks, skate parks, festivals; an Overton Park renewal; a world-class medical establishment, including LeBonheur, the West Clinic, the Shea Ear Clinic, Semmes-Murphy Clinic, Campbell Clinic, and St. Jude; a renovated Civil Rights Museum; two new airlines and a new riverboat and landing; one of the most gorgeous law schools in the nation; a totally renovated Liberty Bowl; exciting U of Memphis sports and a pro basketball team, baseball in a lovely downtown stadium; the world-famous, historic Peabody Hotel, and the historic Orpheum Theater; world class museums, including the Botanic Garden, the Brooks Museum, the Belz Museum, and a top-notch zoo; the bbq contest, Beale St. Music Fest, and Sunset Symphony; many very fine private schools; a historic African-American college (LeMoyne-Owen) and a nationally-recognized college (Rhodes); blues music everywhere, and just this week the International Blues Challenge, which will fill the clubs on Beale with bands and thousands of fans from all over the world, on and on and on....and might I add, way more soul and heart than Dallas-Fort Worth could even imagine. And I didn't even mention Graceland and Elvis. But enjoy your life in Texas.

In my lifetime I've gone from full hardcopy subscription to CA & PS to no more PS to Sunday only CA hardcopy to CA online to only reading sports on CA online to not even doing that. Sorry for the people who will miss it when it's gone, but at least half of you are kidding yourselves if that's what you're thinking.

Just say no to that liberal rag...

Took seven posts for the derailment/unrelated bashing to begin. This place is slipping.
