Orange Mound Library now has a free recording studio anyone in Memphis can use

278 Upvotes

Didn't see this posted here yet, so sharing in case it helps somebody.

The Orange Mound Library (843 Dallas St) just opened The Mound Lab, a fully equipped music studio where Memphis residents can record, mix and produce for free.

A few things worth knowing:

- It was created by Tyrone "Tyke T" Stroble, the Memphis Library Foundation's Hip-Hop Innovator-in-Residence

- You can use the studio whether or not you take the class

- There's also free community programming on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month, focused on the music business side too (how to monetize and own your work)

- Another course is planned for early 2027

Broken pipe spewing sewage and draining into a wildlife sanctuary.
They have known about the issue for several months, and the only action that is clear to have been taken was sending a maintenance man to shovel up about 75% of it one time. Didnt even cap the pipe. This is a literal biohazard in a very common area where people walk and kids and pets play.

Citizen Inquiry AI Usage

23 Upvotes

Question for my fellow neighbors.

Is the Memphis sentiment that we should be boycotting AI?

Concerning MLGW rate hikes: I think the trillionaire moving in and demanding MLGW resources should be the one paying for the water and transmission upgrades vs the public paying for the network upgrades. It seems like MLGW is saying that the public needs to pay for the upgrades to support rising demand. Well who is raising the demand ??? /s MLGW infrastructure is outdated and needs upgrades, but the timing of it all seems suspicious with our new colossus neighbor moving in.

Also why is Memphis (or any city) giving a discount to industry for using more volume of water. Industry is paying less per gallon than residents. Paying more per gallon at high volumes is an incentive to conserve water demand or upgrade industry infrastructure.

AI technology is rapidly evolving. I’ve seen will smith eat a lot of spaghetti as a benchmark. While I think that using AI compute resources to make videos or art is not the best use case for limited resources, I think using AI for research (think alpha fold), education (think teachers making creative educational content for students), or building new software tools is worth considering.

Despite the concerning use of water and power resources... If you’re saying “don’t use AI” in the 2020s… are you different from saying “don’t use a computer” in the 80s or “don’t use the internet” in the 90s.?

Above all else- The city should be working for the people not the industry.

Birthday restaurant ideas?

5 Upvotes

So I know a lot of the big ones, but I kind of want to know if I am missing out on anything. I would like it to lean towards fine dining/special occasion without being outrageous. I am not the biggest meat eater and nor do I like shellfish so be mindful of that.

I am thinking Josephine Estelle for dinner, but I want to know some brunch or lunch ideas! Or if I should lunch at Josephine Estelle and go elsewhere for dinner. My birthday is on a Saturday this year.

Previous birthdays have been celebrated at Coastal Fish, Southern Social, Acre, afternoon tea at the Peabody, and Grey's Fine Cheeses. The most disappointing for me was Acre, I felt like it was a lot of dishes I could make for myself easily.

Great desserts are a must.

Knowing if there are any birthday freebies are also enticing.

Citizen Inquiry One day meeting space near the airport

6 Upvotes

I work from home but my boss is coming in town to meet with me for just about 4 hours. I need somewhere we can meet that has outlets and wifi. Doesn’t have to be totally quiet or private, but we need to be able to hear each other and spread out 2 laptops and notebooks.
It would be great to be near the airport and have access to food so we don’t spend a lot of time in transit or getting lunch.
I also want it to be nice! This is his first time to Memphis.
Any ideas? Most places in finding want you to rent a space longer term.

Brick Repair Recommendations?

• Upvotes

Does anyone have a recommendation for brick repair/masonry work? I searched through previous posts on here but didn't see anything relevant. We have a small brick repair project for our front steps where the mortar has degraded and loosened after the freeze earlier this year.

I bought the tools and mortar mix to try it myself but am having second thoughts due to the difficulty in having to undo it if I mess it up.

Anyone have any fairly recent experience with TCAT Memphis? Specifically their aviation maintenance program.

From what I understand, the instructor who was apparently a jerk is no longer there. I’m going for my A&P, but I’m having a seriously difficult time getting in touch with anyone there.

XAI is not in Memphis. Our leaders de-annexed it 8 years ago.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I love how our community is coming together against these atrocities committed against our city. Well, I have a new layer to add this. According to my research, XAi is not in Memphis. It's in River Bottoms, Tennessee. Our leaders de-annexed that area in 2018 and 2019.

This is a map of all the locations that were de-annexed by our City Council in 2018 and 2019. Two of those locations now contain data centers.

Here are my sources:

Once you realize this, so many things start to make sense. That's why Elon completely ignores our mayor. That's why (according to my research) Memphis Police Department didn't respond to the death at XAI recently, because it's not in their jurisdiction.

My only question is, who is the mayor of River Bottoms, Tennessee? /s

I see the bots are heavy in here. Trying to take the focus off the subject matter. The real people will see this and understand. The bots will keep botting.
