365 Things to Do in Memphis #88: Get Your Flyer from a Fun Box
It's Wednesday, and you know what that means - in Memphis, it's Flyer day.
Our venerable local alt-weekly is deposited in wire racks and little green boxes all over the city on Wednesdays, packed with news, music listings and the most incomprehensible astrology readings.

Next time you grab a Flyer, grab one from one of the fancy boxes. In the meantime, vote for your favorite - the winning artist will get $500.
