Here’s the latest in our continuing conversation about the things we love most about Memphis. Send in any lists that you have and we’ll post them here. Eventually, we’ll post a master list of everyone’s favorites. Here’s Jeff Cozzens’ list:
1. Approaching Memphis from the Arkansas side late at night and seeing the beautifully lit “M” bridge.
2. Being a proud graduate of a division one University, the University of Memphis.
3. Overton Park.
4. The beautiful old oak trees, how our city fathers from long ago decided not to cut down the trees to build an interstate through Overton Park.
5. Real “soul food.”
6. Real BBQ, often imitated but never duplicated.
7. My integrated church.
8. Our rich civil rights heritage.
9. If you need it, high-quality medical care.
10. A sense that Memphis can always improve and become a better place to live and work.
