You are SOOOOOO Memphis if you (major dialup warning)
If you open a new Greenline bike trail and it causes a traffic jam



If you throw a block party for the new Greenline with a bunch of corporate logos



If you can easily find the the block party because the swat team is there





And a few other cops



Oh, they come in ALL vehicles, like bikes



And Sedgeways (seriously, probably the only two in the city, LOL)



As you can see they had a ton to do



Protecting all the bigwigs, like the mayor, Representative Steve Cohen (D), and the Memphis Grizz



They were protected by the cops from all the subversive types that went to extremes to hide their identities and intentions

such as the so called "Volunteers"



The Unicycle Club



The ecoterrorists



I was a bit worried by this dude



Yikes, the New World Order



The corn dog looks a bit like a bomb



Wait, could this be a "black" entry??



They didn't even have a shoe check for the roller skates (black, black)



The flippers were having too much fun to be on the up and up



And they didn't even check out the dog wearing the subversive symbol



And this person was even going to extremes to hide the identities of people



Yep, that's Memphis--a corporate sponsored terrorist attended block party, thankfully protected by the Swat team and dozens of other law enforcement types.

1. Love it, the rollerskate shoe toe is worn out, but the rubber
brake looks new.

2. and that is so transparent, and suspicious
There is no telling what could have been inside that brake! I think we dodged a bullet here, no thanks to our swat team!

4. There's also an outside chance they replaced the old.

3. My favorite way to travel is to travel with natives. And you let me do that.
I've never even been to Memphis...but thanks to you I got to go there today. Thank you for a story well told and for the work to put it together. Great shots, some candid, some more careful, and a great flow.
Very cool.
