Meet Tony Wroten, your newest Memphis Grizzly.

The 19 year-old guard from Washington state came to Memphis this year as the NBA's 25th overall draft pick. He was kind enough to answer a few questions about his Memphis experience thus far, and, since he's a Memphis rookie, ask a few questions of his own.

During MemFix, food trucks and vendors filled the Sears parking lot, bands played on the building's loading dock, empty storefronts along Cleveland were filled with pop-up shops, art was sold out of vintage bread trucks and a puppet dispensed love advice from a cardboard booth.

Memphis has better signage than most places. Whether neon, painted or handwritten, Memphis signs seem to be a just a little more interesting than most. Photographer Andrew J. Breig agrees. Here, he's captured some of his favorite signs from around the city.

These 10 Memphis murals aren't the biggest, flashiest or most well-known, but they're some of my favorites. I suppose that techinically, they aren't all murals, but they're each iconic in their own way and perfect for photo ops.
 

Happy Wednesday, y'all. While we've been staring at color coded election maps, plenty of non-political things have been happening in Memphis. Things like restaurant openings, food trucks for sale, new Tigers, and the return of the Crosstown Disco Ball.

But first, I thought this photo by @glassesmalone (via Instagram) would be appropriate for today:
