Yesterday we attended MemFix Cleveland Street, a festival that’s part of a series of events by Innovate Memphis designed to “rethink and activate streets, vacant storefronts and test drive new neighborhoods in Memphis.” There were food trucks, demonstrations, pop-up shops, vendors, bands, a hula hoop clinic, bike valet, and new (temporary) cross-walks and bike lanes. We showed up in time to see Memphis punk band Pezz play on the loading dock of the abandoned Sears building, got some food, checked out the thrift stores, took our first Amurica Photo Booth photo, and watched a demonstration by a blacksmith from the Metal Museum. Here are a few photos:
