The reality is, driving in Memphis really isn't that bad. Sure, there are some folks who make up their own rules of the road and yes, turn signals appear to be optional equipment here, but traffic generally flows pretty smoothly. If you've ever done any driving in other big cities, you know that we've got it pretty good here (I was reasonably certain I was going to have a heart attack the one time I went through Atlanta during rush hour!).</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://memphis.about.com/b/2012/02/20/driving-in-memphis-2.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://memphis.about.com/b/2012/02/20/driving-in-memphis-2.htm Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:32:21 +0000 2012-02-20T17:32:21Z http://memphis.about.com/b/2012/02/16/consignment-sale-time-3.htm <p>It's only February but the spring consignment sales are getting underway. Never been to a consigment sale? These wonderful little events offer gently used children's clothing, toys, and equipment.</p> <p>Clothing comes in all brands and sizes and most sale organizers encourage their consignors to only offer the nicest items -- rarely will you find clothes that are out of style, torn, or stained. Instead, most of the clothes are in good condition and are offered at incredible prices. Among my favorite consignment sale finds was a pair of barely-worn Stride Rite sneakers for $3 and a two-piece capri set for $2.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://memphis.about.com/b/2012/02/16/consignment-sale-time-3.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://memphis.about.com/b/2012/02/16/consignment-sale-time-3.htm Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:20:36 +0000 2012-02-16T12:20:36Z http://memphis.about.com/b/2012/02/13/its-not-too-late-to-nominate.htm <p>Nominations for the 2012 About.com Readers' Choice Awards are still being accepted through Wednesday.
