Is it me, or do the citizens of the great city of Memphis seem to be picking up their collective affinity for beer?  If that's the case, then I have to tip my hat to Memphis.  We just had the Memphis Zoo's "Zoo Brew" last month, and now there's a new beer festival is  in the works for beer lovers (who doesn't love a good beer) to partake in.

 Whether you have a big mansion out in the country, or an intimate 2-bedroom apartment in downtown Memphis, the way you design your interior is going to speak volumes about yourself.  The appearance of your home is a reflection of you, so you want to make sure you put some thought into it. Now I'm far from a design expert, so I'm always looking for little... [Read more...]

For those of you that strive to be more eco-friendly, here is a simple dea that you can use to transform the kitchen in your downtown apartment to something a little more artistic, efficient and green.  You know that dish soap dispenser that you place on top of your sink (or under maybe....whatever floats your boat), well why not replace that big, branded bottle with... [Read more...]
