FOR MEMPHIS: Good News from Memphis - Good News for Memphis - Good News for Memphis, April 7, 2026

People say things about our city all the time. Sometimes they’re good and sometimes not so much. But one thing I love about Memphians is that when it’s time to stick up for our city, we do it. Memphis isn’t perfect, and we recognize that too, but the passion for the city runs deep, and it shows.

I think those of us who love this city can all agree that we want everyone to speak positively about Memphis. One simple way we can get more people to do that is through sharing this newsletter and sharing the good news FOR MEMPHIS.

Inside and outside the city, people need to know the Memphis that we know and love. So share the good news.
