A Grindfest, a Flood Crest, a Big Story on GonerFest and Mural Progress
Meet Brandon Marshall, the muralist who is painting the very first of the I Love Memphis murals in Cooper Young. Did I mention that it's going to be bright red?
Come see the finished mural (and meet Brandon) on Thursday at the mural launch party.
