    The Early Word: The ‘soul’ of South Main hits the market; gyms go to mat for ‘essential’ status

    The Early Word: HD looks to new restrictions, mayors to possible mask mandates

    Memphis-born painter makes it big and gives back to the Bluff City, what you should cook for your smaller-than-usual Thanksgiving and a visit with the ghosts of NBA Drafts past and future.

    The Early Word: Grizz have a good night and the perfect gift idea for 2020?

    We’ve got all the basketball today, from high school to the NBA, as well as an agonizing wait for local restaurants, a home (testing kit) for the holidays and the continuation of City Council contention.

    The Early Word: Are more restrictions headed our way? Plus, the future of the Nylon Net

    The Early Word: Shiny new buildings, Rust Hall, and a vacation to remember

    The Early Word: A diamond in the ruff and Raleigh’s getting a little buzz

    Memphis’ city-run animal shelter is adapting to COVID, and a cup of coffee isn’t just a cup of coffee in Raleigh. Plus, new Grizz gear, a returning son and artwork from a high school senior.

    The Early Word: Gratitude to vets, pride in our water

    As they say, there must be something in the water. A years-long water-rights dispute seems near to a close (and hopefully we won’t owe anyone $600 million). Plus, a local start-up looks to revolutionize the logistics industry.

    The Early Word: Health care workers get sick, Texas tacos, and ideas for Union Avenue?

    It’s Thursday, Nov. 5, and we’re still waiting on a president. But we do have plans for a new taco shop, suggestions for Arkansas, and a friendship between two coaches.

    The Early Word: Inequity and the return to schools; long-hauler clinic created

    We’re off to our own private islands, a local prosecutor is under investigation and the difference between local schools’ back-to-class plans is real. Plus, a health care merger gets COVID complications of its own.

    The Early Word: A ‘challenging’ fall, a Memphis film and tons of jobs

    The Early Word: Soccer, the suburbs and super-spreaders; Downtown’s ‘before’ pictures

    See how Downtown could change with a $60 million parking plan. Plus, COVID hits a constitutional right and the Tigers set their sights on Cincy.

    The Early Word: Moving into the old Marine Hospital; running and voting in Shelby County

    It’s Oct. 23, and we’re taking a day trip to Oxford even though a part of Oxford is coming to us. We’re also talking about Memphis’ need for more police, heroes on the golf course, and online betting in Tennessee.
