Yesterday I asked AI agent Claude to identify THE up-and-coming neighborhood in Memphis.<\/p>\n
Claude picked The Edge.<\/p>\n
I revised my query. “No, no, no, Claude, in 2026 The Edge is no longer up-and-coming. It’s already there. It has arrived. I want to know, what neighborhood is where The Edge was 7-8 years ago?”<\/p>\n
Claude admitted I had a fair point, thought for a moment, then said Klondike\/Smokey City. Claude noted that those neighborhoods are near the beginning of a cycle, not the end.<\/p>\n
Now that’s a pick I can get behind.<\/p>\n
Klondike is the call \u2014 it has the exact cocktail the Edge had: deep history, affordability, a massive anchor project just landed, and nobody outside of community development circles is talking about it yet.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b -Claude<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Corrected correction: Now I’m hearing that Mich Ultra will be the $3 green beer at Bardog Saturday-Tuesday. Rahul who works for the distributor dropped off a tap handle for that purpose this morning.<\/p>\n
Penny’s 13-19 Memphis Tigers had their season come to an end yesterday with an 81-69 loss to Tulane. Penny has the same problem Josh Pastner had here – he’s too nice and these 19-year-old players stop taking him seriously after a while. Memphis bball is a program in bad need of a coach who’s an asshole. I wonder how much money we’d have to throw at Rick Pitino to get him here?<\/p>\n
There will be a Women Who Build<\/a> panel discussion on Thursday, March 26 at 5 PM at Soul and Spirits, 845 N. Main. Come meet developers who have broken the glass ceiling.<\/p>\n

Cerrito Trivia will host a special-edition St. Paddy’s Day trivia<\/a> Tuesday at 7 at Max’s Sports Bar. Ireland, booze, and green things are potential topics.<\/p>\n
Black Tulip Press will hold a market<\/a> at Flyway Brewing Saturday 11-6. Literature, readings, chamber music, artwork, handmade goods.<\/p>\n
There’s a part-time dishwasher<\/a> position open at AutoZone Park.<\/p>\n
Bass Pro is looking to hire a laundry attendant<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Could a fine for tanking be coming for the Grizzlies?<\/a><\/p>\n
Back tomorrow with a Frupdate.<\/p>\n
