Happy first day of school, y'all. I've packed you up a sack lunch full of Memphis news to take with you:

- Adorable news first: Z-Bo donated $10,000 to give a pit bull a better life. Here's the story, complete with super cute puppy pictures.

- There's a plan to connect Overton Park to the Greenline via Broad Ave. that's up for public review at two meetings on Aug. 16. Here are the details.

- Also, there are more bike racks planned for Madison Ave.

- Park(ing) Day Memphis is coming up on Sept. 21. The annual street festival invites people to turn parking spaces into temporary parks. If you've got a good idea for a tiny park, submit it to the Memphis Regional Design Center by Aug. 31.

- I'm not the only one who thinks about frozen yogurt when I see #YOLO somewhere, right?

- Lastly, we're still looking for activities for 901 Day (aka, Sept. 1 the first ever holiday celebrating Memphis). You can do whatever you like, just let us know about it.

As always, if you've got a tip or something you'd like to see featured on I Love Memphis, let me know. If you've got an upcoming event (or know about a good one), submit it to the blog's calendar.
