This week, any lingering bad feelings between Memphis and a former Tigers basketball coach will hopefully be put to rest as John Calipari is inducted — alongside nine others — into the Memphis Sports Hall of Fame.
We’ll also see the first full Shelby County Commission meeting since eight new members were elected, and some of them are already in legal trouble. Germantown is asking residents what they want to see for the next 24 years, and The Daily Memphian is celebrating eight years of publishing daily content.
Newsletter editor Bianca Phillips is back with us today to talk about the week ahead. Join us.
