Hey, you know who has their offices on the floor right below ours?\u00a0 The Memphis Regional Chamber.\u00a0 I’m sure it leaves a great impression when they bring people in from out of town, trying to encourage new businesses to locate to Memphis, and that’s going on right outside the window.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, our building also has another well-known tenant – the IRS.\u00a0 Maybe the guy wasn’t a bum at all, but a tax protestor making a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
