New housing and a beer garden, too

The work week is upon us again, and we have meetings of the Memphis City Council and the Land Use Control Board as well as the release of a highly awaited audit of Memphis-Shelby County Schools.  Of particular interest is the Land Use meeting and two applications for new housing, one in Cooper-Young and another on Covington Pike.  As the week comes to a close, we also have the opening of a new beer garden.  Newsletter editor Bianca Phillips is here to talk about it.  Plus: National Guard members shoot and kill a suspect in Downtown Memphis Federal wiretaps captured Young Mob using GPS trackers, texts and Facetime Brazil native Marcelo Marzola has a mission to produce 100,000 pounds of vine-ripened tomatoes for Memphis, in Memphis A Criminal Court judge keeps missing work, slowing the court system and frustrating victims' families St. Jude Leadership Academy hires a first-ever senior vice president A former DeSoto County teacher is sentenced for child pornography
