John Beifuss Retires - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a 45-year-newspaper career in Memphis, John Beifuss retired October 1st from The Commercial Appeal (CA), where he worked most of those years. He covered everything, but he was mostly known for his movie coverage, which included reviews of commercial films as well as Indie Memphis and other local and area film-related events. For many years, CA readers tried to out-predict him on who was going to win the Academy Awards that year for the “Beat Beifuss at the Oscars” annual feature. Beifuss l
Of Souls and Soul Burgers - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a lot going on at Earnestine & Hazel’s, the home of the “Soul Burger.” And that includes those departed souls in the nightspot at 531 South Main Street.

It’s been almost exactly three years since he opened the first location downtown at 276 South Front

Read excerpt

McCraw feels the area needed a restaurant. “We’re right at Covington Pike. You’ve
WE SAW YOU: Fingerboard Fever - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody worried about cushioned high-impact socks or heavy-duty shoes with reinforced toes for better gripping at Summer Slam, which was held August 9th at Flyway Memphis. These athletes were using their bare index and middle fingers to propel the three-and-a-half-inch or so “fingerboards” on miniature ramps. “It’s basically miniature skateboarding,” says fingerboarder Henry Marrs, 15. It’s all about finger placement. “It’s like ballet or learning how to sing. You learn different positions and tw
