Since 2005, this has been Smart City Consulting’s blog with the aim of connecting the dots and providing perspective on issues and policies shaping Memphis. Editor and primary author is Tom Jones, columnist at Memphis magazine, author of two books and a museum exhibition, and consultant on public policy and strategic planning. Smart City Memphis was called one of the most intriguing blogs in the U.S. by the Pew Partnership for Civic Change; The (Memphis) Commercial Appeal wrote: “Smart City Memphis provides some of the most well-thought-out thinking about Memphis’ past, present, and future you’ll find anywhere,” and the Memphis Flyer said: “This incredibly well-written blog sets out to solves the city’s ills – from the mayor to MATA – with out-of-the-box thinking, fresh approaches to old problems, and new ideas.” If you have questions, submissions, or ideas for posts, please email Tom Jones, at tjones@smartcityconsulting.com.
I can see this as good for Mud Island, a badly needed recreational opportunity for our youth, and a good source of revenue and recognition for Memphis and especially downtown.
With that said, there is one person who really needs to be convinced. Has Mayor Wharton expressed an opinion on the subject? Do any of y'all have a good relationship with A C?
Support of the skate park on Mud Island is in Mayor Wharton's platform, we're happy to say.

This designer can bring to your city a revolutionary design under budget at the “design phase” and give you a “destination park” like no other.
