Tell Us What You Want: Neighborland Launches in Memphis

In my neighborhood, there's this building. It's small and old, and over the years, has been patched up or boarded up with so many different materials that I can't tell what it was originally made of. It's a definite fixer-upper, if not a total lost cause. Someone has attached a giant wooden sculpture of a runny egg to it.

I wish it was a microbrewery and tap room.

365 Things to Do in Memphis #206: See the Ghost of Mollie Woodruff

The tale of Mollie Woodruff is one of Memphis' best ghost stories. Though she was part of a wealthy family, her life was marked with hardship (like the deaths of her children and husband). When she died, it's said that she came back to haunt her old house in what is now Victorian Village.

Assignment #206 in the 365 Things to Do in Memphis is to see the ghost of Mollie Woodruff (if you can see those sorts of things) and the rest of the Woodruff-Fontaine House museum.
