If you have ever dreamed about living on the Main Street Mall, my friends just put their condo on the market. It’s a 1 BR/1 BA in the One One O’Six Lofts at 92 S. Main. Here’s the listing. The condo comes with secure underground parking and you’d have a block walk or less to City Market, Local, Aldo’s Pizza Pies, DGX, and Blind Bear. The sellers are awesome people – they’re the couple who brought me blackeyed peas and collard greens on New Year’s.

From the Memphis Flyer: Reactions are divided on Riverside Drive’s reopening. Many including DNA president Jerred Price support the move, but an SMA poll shows that the majority of residents were concerned about the reopening.
