The Memphis Flyer comes out once a week on Wednesday. It's a left-leaning alternative newsweekly…read morewith an extensive weekly cultural calendar and reviews, local socio-political reporting, and several syndicated columns (crossword, weird news, astrology). The Flyer is the paper media alternative to Memphis' conservative daily paper, the Commercial Appeal, and has won many national awards for in-depth reporting and graphic design.

I always pick up a Flyer from the news stand. They generally feature important news stories…read morehappening around town, as well as weekly event calendars, spotlights on local bands, restaurants, retail shops or non-profit community organizations. The articles are well-written, and detailed, and I love to check out the Fly on the Wall section, as well as the letters to the editor. There are Flyer classifieds offer excellent advertising rates, and you can find all kinds of services, jobs, for sale and other types of listings. A great paper that has a loyal following, the Flyer is top-notch. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it is an obvious left-leaning paper, and I'm a right-leaning girl. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it though.

Geoff Calkins has been called a muckraker. He's been accused of not supporting the hometown sports…read moreteams enough. He's been called overly critical and too quick to jump on a negative story. An opportunist. I should know. I've said all of these things about him myself. Worse, in fact. But Geoff is also the first to find the human story within the sports story. He reminds us that athletes and coaches are real people, not just machines programmed to give us our desired adrenaline rush every few days or weeks. Even his "negative" stories are negative only in that they call out those who seem to place their own ego over team, or their own selfish ends over ethical concerns. He reminds me that the reason I like sports is not just the competition, but the connection that they give me to my brother, my dad, and others to whom I am close. Geoff is a top-notch writer (ps: he can be pretty freakin' funny, too). He may well be the best columnist--not just sports columnist, but columnist, period--that our local paper has.

They hired women then fire them or they quit before there 3 months probation period is up. Ya you can make $17.00 after you come full time but when your just a temp $14.00. Ya your supposed to get a $1000.00 bonus after 6 months and $2000.00 after a year. but this place isn't worth the headache. They are sexes, racist, and only cares about the money and not there employees. This place is a sausage fest.

I was really disappointed with my experience at this bookstore. From the moment my friends and I…read morewalked in, the owner kept giving us nasty looks and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. It honestly felt like we were being judged and profiled for no reason. We weren't being loud or disruptive -- just browsing like any other customers -- yet we were treated with suspicion and disrespect the entire time. A bookstore should feel welcoming and inclusive, especially for young readers, and this experience was the complete opposite. I hope management takes customer treatment more seriously, because no one should feel judged or unwelcome just for walking into a store. she also has an eye problem maybe keep your eyes in the front of your head next time.
