The redevelopment of the old northwest Mem- phis plant that made wood seats for auditoriums at 83 Waterworks comprises three parts: • A 9,588-square-foot, gray-blue metal build- ing housing both the brewery and taproom; • A 3,000-square-foot front deck with 120 lin- ear feet of drink railing that overlooks a vast lawn, the Downtown skyline and Hernando de Soto Bridge; and • An adjacent Quonset hut that will become an event space of 6,000 square feet, including its deck. The new brewery already has lived up to its name. The owners and managers have persevered through a grind of challenges that delayed the wholesale brewing and continues to push back the taproom’s opening. The obstacles have ranged from typical con- struction hiccups to the COVID-19 pandemic to the still needed relocation of a power pole. The taproom appears ready for customers. But the fun, sunlit space won’t receive guests until some- time this summer, Seely estimates. The room holds about 20 tables which, like the wood walls, are custom-crafted to reflect the his- tory of the old auditorium-seat manufacturing that took place there.

  • 2019 Education Curriculum Guide
    Tennessee Academic Standards 2019 EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDE MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Celebrates Memphis in 2019 For the fi rst time in its 43-year history, Memphis in May breaks with tradition to make the City of Memphis and Shelby County the year-long focus of its annual salute. Rather than another country, the 2019 Memphis in May Festival honors Memphis and Shelby County as both celebrate their bicentennials and the start of a new century for the city and county. Memphis has changed the world and will continue to change the world. We are a city of doers, dreamers, and believers. We create, we invent, we experiment; and this year, we invite the world to experience our beautiful home on the banks of the Mississippi River. The Bluff City…Home of the Blues, Soul, and Rock & Roll…a city where “Grit and Grind” are more than our team’s slogan, they’re who we are: determined, passionate, authentic, soulful, unstoppable. With more than a million residents in its metro area, the City of Memphis is a city of authenticity and diversity where everyone is welcomed. While some come because of its reputation as a world-renown incubator of talent grown from its rich musical legacy, Memphis draws many to its leading hospital and research systems, putting Memphis at the leading edge of medical and bioscience innovation. Situated nearly in the middle of the United States at the crossroads of major interstates, rail lines, the world’s second-busiest cargo airport, and the fourth-largest inland port on the Mississippi River, Memphis moves global commerce as the leader in transportation and logistics.

  • Town and Country in the Old South : Vicksburg and Warren County, Mississippi, 1770-1860
    TOWN AND COUNTRY IN THE OLD SOUTH: VICKSBURG AND WARREN COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, 1770-1860 By CHRISTOPHER CHARLES MORRIS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1991 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am pleased to acknowledge the assistance and encouragement of a number of people, and to thank them for their kindness. Sam Hill and Helen Hill gave me a place to stay when I made my first visit to Jackson. At Vicksburg the staff at the Old Court House Museum received me with open arms. Gordon Cotton's and Blanche Terry's knowledge of Warren County history and of the local documents proved invaluable. The staff at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History was always helpful. In particular I want to thank Anne Lipscombe. Alison Beck, of the Barker Texas History Center at the University of Texas, helped me wade through much of the as yet largely uncatalogued Natchez Trace Collection. She brought several important documents to my attention that I never could have found on my own. Several people in Vicksburg and Warren County took an interest in my work and helped me to discover their past. Special thanks go to Dee and John Leigh Hyland for being so forthcoming with their family history. Two other local researchers gave me the benefit of their experience. Clinton Bagley guided me through the records in the Adams County Courthouse in Natchez, and Charles L. Sullivan helped me find my way through the massive Claiborne Collection in the ii Mississippi Department of Archives and history.

  • History of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas 1970 – 2000 Updates Through 2004 Included
    History of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas 1970 – 2000 Updates through 2004 included CH. 1 – THE BEGINNING OF HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE The beginning of Hot Springs Village was described by Sandra Long in The Record, a publication of the Arkansas Historical Society. (Long, Sandra. “From the Dark Corner to a Thousand Points of Light.” The Record, 1995, Garland County Historical Society). MARBLE TOWNSHIP – THE DARK CORNER The “Dark Corner” of north Garland County where Hot Springs Village is located has a colorful though somewhat obscure history. In prehistoric times, lying just north of the fabled valley of No-wa-sa-lon (the place of healing waters), it was often traversed by bands of Indians who forged trails along the paths of least resistance as they journeyed to the magic springs. Later, according to some historians, the notorious conquistador Hernando DeSoto may have used one of these trails to arrive at Hot Springs in the fall of 1541. This romantic legend, of course, provides the basis for the Spanish theme around which modern builders created the ambient of Hot Springs Village. The main thoroughfare is called DeSoto Boulevard, all the other streets bear Spanish names, and the official logo of the community depicts the helmeted head of a Spanish conquistador. The Indians and Spanish explorers, however, were not the only early travelers in this area. The 1700’s saw French control of the lower Mississippi, and French trappers made their way along the old trails and streams to trade with the Indians for valuable furs, bear oil, and various minerals. The earliest maps of the area are in French, and many of the French names such as Glazier Peau, Fourche La Farve, and Petit Jean have survived to modern times.
