Happy Monday, y'all.

Today in Memphis, we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Elvis, get new parking meters and walk right up to the ultimate gastronomical threshold and laugh in its face.

All of that (and more) is in today's Memphis news update:

This is a hibiscus mint popsicle from Mama D's Italian ice, and it's the only thing that's made me even remotely ok with how disgustingly hot it is outside.

Today in Memphis, T-Model Ford is gone, the Peabody honors a formerly peg-legged duck, Hog and Hominy is a darling of the New York Times and a new tenant is moving to Overton Square.

Are you between jobs? A Memphis volunteerism program wants to put you to work.

On Thursday, discover the Broad Avenue Arts District in the same way that 15th century explorers found new continents: with a map and a mission.

Only, instead of braving unknown and possibly dangerous lands in search of treasure, you'll be getting to know one of the coolest up-and-coming neighborhooods in Memphis through an evening scavenger hunt.

While other kids have spent the summer eating popsicles by the pool, students from the Collegiate School of Memphis have been recreating the Hernando de Soto Bridge with dominoes.

The three-dimensional bridge was built out of 2420 black dominoes.

Today in Memphis, our civic spirit animal gets married, the Buffalo Mural gets a makeover, we get our thoughts provoked, and a Memphis brewery becomes the first in Tennessee to put its beer in cans.

All of that (and more) is in today's Memphis news update:

I corrected a very serious mistake today over lunch: I went to Tycoon. 

I hadn't been avoiding it; somehow, I wasn't aware of its existence until about three days ago. How has a place like this managed to stay a secret for so long?

I live pretty close to Overton Park.

Overton Park is great. It's huge, there's a ton of stuff there (trails, a playground, Levitt Shell, etc.), and it's about a 20 minute walk from my house. It's great, but it's not my favorite neighborhood park.
