CHRIS HERRINGTONThe West Tennessee News

A movie rental shop closing in 2014 was a familiar story. But one opening in 2019?

Welcome to the man-bites-dog tale of Memphis movie culture. After five years of dormancy, four different storage spaces to house a north-of-30,000-title VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray collection, three potential loca-tions that didn’t pan out and two false starts, this countdown has arrived at the return of one of a kind: Black Lodge Video — now just Black Lodge — is back. Named for a mysterious location in David Lynch’s television series “Twin Peaks,” Black Lodge first opened in 2000 in a little house on a hill in Midtown’s Cooper-Young neighbor-hood, lasting for 14 even-then-surprising years. On Sept. 6, much like the Lynch se-ries itself, it made an unlikely return.

The comparatively mammoth new Lodge is an 8,000-square-foot multi-pur-pose store/venue/hangout spot at 405 N. Cleveland St., in the Crosstown Arts Dis-trict. The heart of the enterprise is the more than 20,000 DVD and Blu-Ray titles belonging to co-founder and co-owner Matt Martin. (Like the “Video” in the origi-nal name, some 10,000 VHS tapes from the old Lodge did not make the move.)

This collection — or its cover art — is arranged on racks, separated into con-ventional genres, but also more esoteric and/or evocative categories: “B-Movies & Drive-In,” “Cult Flicks & Bizarre Arthouse” and “Martial Arts & Asian Action.”

You can get new releases and block-busters, but you can also find a well-cu-rated collection of Hollywood classics,

American auteurs, pulp fictions and for-eign cinema, as well as oddities with ti-tles such as “Hot Rods to Hell,” “Mafia vs. Ninja” and “Disco Godfather.” These are all available to rent at $4 a pop, a maximum of four titles at a time, or unlimited rentals (still four at a time) for a $10 monthly mem-bership. But the new Lodge also features film screenings and live performances, with arcade gaming just around the corner and a bar/café somewhere on the horizon.

You may ask yourself: How did we get here? Martin had co-founded Black Lodge with partner Bryan Hogue as an uncon-ventional conventional video store, but by 2014 it was starting to morph into a cramped venue of sorts, with screenings, live bands and other events.

“Netf lix had emerged. RedBox had come about. All the brick-and-mortar (vid-eo stores) were dying. I didn’t know how much longer we could get by just renting movies as our only real revenue stream,” said Martin, now 45. “My idea was to find a bigger place. Bryan was ready to do some-thing else.” Hogue bowed out, striking a deal to let Martin keep and eventually own their shared collection. The Lodge went on a hiatus that was not meant to last so long.

Martin looked at a space on Madison Avenue, adjacent to —and perhaps includ-ing — the late and semi-legendary Anten-na Club music venue. He looked at a spot around the corner in Cooper-Young, in the same strip as the simpatico Goner Re-cords. Martin remembers this period as “a chase of never-ending disappointments.”

Eventually, filmmaker Craig Brew-er, a longtime friend and Lodge patron,

connected Martin to Crosstown Arts’ Chris Miner, who, with partner Todd Rich-ardson, was helping develop not only the Crosstown Concourse space but the sur-rounding neighborhood.

“To my great happiness, almost in-stantly Chris Miner got it, what we want-ed to do in combining video rental with a space big enough to do shows,” said Mar-tin. Through Miner, Martin looked at the now-empty Cleveland Flea Market space across from Crosstown Concourse, but that didn’t work out either.

Black Lodge finally found its current home a little farther south in the Cross-town Arts District, a space that had once housed the gay bar Mary’s but which had mostly been empty in recent years.

According to Richardson, Crosstown Arts took over the master lease of the building and took on the responsibility of working with the building owner to rehab it, subleasing to Black Lodge as operator. Twice — in the fall of 2017 and again in the spring of 2018 — the imminent return of the Lodge was reported. “When we got into the building, we realized it wasn’t just a fix-it-up, it was a tear-it-down,” said Martin.

“It needed a new roof, ceiling, plumb-ing, electricity. Everything. It took a year-and-a-half.” In the meantime, Martin kept the Black Lodge brand alive.

For the past five years, with filmmaker partner Mike McCarthy, Martin has been booking the monthly “Time Warp Drive-In” series at Malco’s Summer Drive-in. In exchange for storage space at the Central Library, Black Lodge hosted some parties dubbed “Pandemonium” in the empty

upstairs space in the Downtown Cossitt Library. (While in limbo, the collection lived in other places: The basement of First Congregational Church in Cooper-Young, a rented storage unit and finally at Cross-town Arts.) This past Halloween and New Year’s Eve, Black Lodge sneak-previewed their new digs with some tactical-urban-ism-style parties at the work-in-progress space on Cleveland. Along the way, Martin found a group of new partners with skills to help make the more expansive vision of the new Lodge a reality. Martin’s the movie guy, while new co-owners Danny Grubbs (operations), Will Scheff (band booking/stage management), James Blair (chef/kitchen management) and Josh Argo (sound and lighting design) bring different skills to the venture. This spring, a Block-buster Video in Bend, Oregon, made news as the last franchise left in a chain that once dominated the industry world-wide.

In a long-shrinking business, the few traditional video stores left tend to be non-corporate leftovers in smaller towns and declining suburbs. Family Video, an Illinois-based chain, is the industry’s larg-est current operator, still claiming more than 500 stores in 20 states, in places such as Shelbyville, Tennessee (its only store in the state) and Rolla, Missouri.

But in bigger cities, video stores aren’t so much holding on as reinventing themselves.

“My main inspiration came from the fact that every major city already has this,” said Martin.

He’s referring to something like Video Vortex, a back-to-the-future video store companion to Alamo Drafthouse movie theaters in Brooklyn, San Francisco, and Raleigh, North Carolina.

A fourth Video Vortex opened in Los Angeles this summer, described by the Los Angeles Times as a “video store, bar, arcade, board game hub, and retail store.” It’s partnering with Santa Monica’s famed Vidiots, which closed its doors in 2017 and became Vidiots Foundation. Vidiots is now planning to reopen a physical space.

“All the major video stores have a choice,” Martin said.

“Either you go non-profit as an edu-cational provider or you move into doing screenings and bands, and the money comes from what you get on beer, wine and food. We thought about the non-profit route, but in the end we decided to go for it.”

At the new Black Lodge, a 20-foot screen at the back of the room rear-proj-ects movies with crystal clarity, with a sound system Argo designed to equally serve film and live bands.

Movies are always playing — the Chris-topher Reeve-starring “Superman” from 1978, the 1983 Canadian beer comedy “Strange Brew” and a Neil deGrasse Ty-son science doc were running during dif-ferent visits last week. And, especially at night, the movies can be seen through the Lodge’s big windows while driving past. (“We like that,” Martin said.)

A storage room at Martin Luther King College Prep High School has been revamped as a newly renovated gym soon to be used by hundreds of students in the Frayser area. Frayser Com-munity Schools, which operates MLK Prep, in partnership with Memphis Athletic Ministries (MAM), unveiled the $60,000 renovated gym at 1530 Dellwood Ave. Tuesday, Sept. 11. MAM funded the renovated gym.

“It’s one thing for us to always talk about how important they are, and what we do for them,” said FCS executive director Bob-by White.

“For them to see people that don’t look like them and from other areas of the city com-ing in and supporting them at a high level. And putting their

resources behind that thought, it’s just amazing.”

The community gym, open to all youth ages 8-18 in the Frayser neighborhood, will have team sports, after-school tutoring and other recreational activities.

The gym will be open Mon-day through Saturday during the school year from 4-8 p.m., and the same hours Monday through Friday in the summer.

Using the gym and MAM’s services comes at no cost for students. MAM, a Christ-cen-tered nonprofit, has eight youth centers throughout Memphis. MAM’s goal is to help youth through mentoring and athlet-ics. MLK Prep 10th-grade stu-dent Miracle Standard said she and her friends did not have a lot of places to hang out in the area and are excited about the new gym.

“It will influence other peo-ple to do good things and open doors for people,” Standard said. MAM had previously been in Frayser in partnership with New Hope Academy, but left seven years ago when the nonprofit downsized. MAM president and CEO Randy Odom spoke with White and Pursuit of God Pas-tor Ricky Floyd a year and a half ago about returning to Frayser.

The discussions centered around using MLK’s Prep stor-age room, which had been a gym a decade prior.

“We just want to come in and be part of what MLK (Prep) is al-ready doing,” Odom said.

White said Frayser Commu-nity Schools’ new partners such as MAM, and other new develop-ments surrounding the school – including the $16 million Re-naissance at Steele apartments

– shows MLK is becoming an “anchor” in the neighborhood.

“We see the school as the center of the community,” White said. “When every conversa-tion that you have, everyone is

grounded in that and your ac-tions follow that, then people just get on board. … Folks have felt that and they come. Six years ago, before we got here, these partnerships were not here.”

Local recreational disc golfer Tip Ly-ons loves the convenience of being able to get out by himself during the week and play some holes on various disc golf courses around the Memphis area.Lyons was among the attendees recently for the official opening of the latest addition, the new 18-hole S.Y. Wilson Disc Golf Course at the Arlington Sports Complex on Mem-phis-Arlington Road.

“It’s definitely a great activity or hob-by,” Lyons said. “It’s fun to play solo or in a group. On cool mornings, it’s great getting out there by myself.”

Local pro disc golfer and Lakeland resident Tray Desnoyer helped design the course. “I love the sport,” he said. “I just love competing, and it gives me something at my age, at 38, to keep doing.” Desnoyer also helped design the Libertyland course in Memphis, the course at Memphis Ath-letic Ministries off Airways Road and most recently the new Sea Isle Park course. “The first priority when going into a disc golf course is going to be the park itself. The walkers and kids playing on playgrounds has precedent over everything” Desnoyer said. “So when I’m going in, I’m looking at what’s the safest way, yet most challeng-ing way, I can put together a course. “I feel like here we were very limited – it was very raw when we started – but the town of Ar-lington has been great with their workers coming in and the equipment they already

had.” The property, which at one time was leased to the town from the state, is now owned by Arlington. The majority of work in building the course involved clearing out trees and brush and laying concrete tee pads. “A lot of people put a lot of work into this – fairway cleaning, tree trimming, and we got rid of a lot of much of invasive privet that’s made it actually a safer park to be involved in,” Arlington Parks and Recreation Director Daniel Carson said. “We’ve eliminated blind spots so people can feel safe being out here at all times.”

He estimates the cost of developing the

course at about $10,000, with the town do-nating its labor and resources to keep costs down. The best thing about the new course in Arlington, according to Town Admin-istrator Cathy Durant, is that it is serving an underserved demographic in the com-munity – young people.“We have a senior citizens center, we have a library, we have youth leagues, but we didn’t really have anything for what’s in between. So this fills that gap somewhat,” she said. The average distance for the holes on the new course is 315 yards, and Desnoyer describes it as beginner-friendly with some challenging

holes for people who play advanced to pro-fessional level. “As a parent of a 4-year-old, I know how addicted our children are to iPads and TV’s, and we want them to get outside,” Carson said. “This gives them another way. Maybe they’re not a football player or a soccer player, but maybe this is something they can do outside with their family.”Desnoyer hopes to see more courses in the town, as well as in Bartlett and Lakeland. Lakeland is pursuing a $10,000 grant for its first disc golf course at IH Park. “I think this area needed some-thing like this,” Desnoyer said. “It’s a very fast-growing sport. Anybody can play. It’s great for parks that don’t get a lot of activ-ity. It actually keeps them safer because there are more people coming in and out, especially in rural and inner-city areas.” Arlington’s S.Y. Wilson and Company outdoors retail store and owner Robert Winstead are sponsoring the new course, including providing all the disc baskets. “They approached me, and I thought it would be a great idea,” Winstead said. “Now, players don’t have to go to Shelby Forest or downtown. It’s a great area and a great course, and I think it will be a great fit. Our demographics are mid- to late 30s, and everyone’s very active.” His store sells Prodigy disc golf equipment, including discs and bags.

Near the end of October, organizers are hoping to host an inaugural PDGA (Pro Disc Golf Association) tournament at the new course, with hopes of it becoming an annual event.

Monica Bonds and Cassandra Rogers both lived in Foote Homes public-housing project, just south of Downtown Memphis, when it closed in 2016. They were present Monday, Sept. 16, for the grand opening cel-ebration of its reincarnation, Foote Park at South City. The first seven residents moved into the new housing development over the weekend. The site of the demolished 75-year-old housing project, which had 420 units, is being converted into a mixed-income community of 712 units, plus 87 more project-based-voucher units in the neighborhood. About half of the 114 units in phase one are designated for former public housing residents. Bonds currently resides in Whitehaven. Rogers currently lives nearby at Cleaborn Pointe at Heritage Landing, the site of another former housing project, Cleaborn Homes. Bonds plans to come back and is excited about it. “I think it’s nice,” she said. “I think it’s better than it was before.” Rogers said Foote Park is like a home, instead of the projects, but that the development took too long. She does not plan to move back. “I like this better than Cleaborn Pointe, but I don’t like moving,” she said. Urban Strategies Inc. case man-agers have worked with former residents to connect them with services, with support from the Women’s Foundation for a Greater Memphis. “It’s not just about housing,” said Mindy Turbov, director of Choice Neighbor-hoods at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. “At Choice Neigh-borhoods, we have a motto called ‘housing people in neighborhoods.’ For a long time, HUD just developed affordable housing. This is developing a whole community and really assisting families to reach their full potential.” The employment rate in Foote Homes in 2005 was only 27%; today, 52% of former Foote Homes residents are em-ployed, according to the city. “When we started working with families, the aver-age income was $6,700 a year for heads of

households in Foote,” said Richard Baron, co-founder and chairman of McCormack Baron Salazar Inc., the developer and own-er of the new housing. “Today, the average income is $20,000. That’s in four years.” The second phase of housing, containing 134 units, is scheduled to be complete the first quarter of next year. To complement the housing, an early-childhood center, a Girls Inc. center and revamped parks, in-cluding L.E. Brown Park, are planned. Al-ready underway are a commercial business façade improvement plan, overseen by the Downtown Memphis Commission, and a homeowner repair grant program overseen by The Works Inc., a South Memphis com-munity development corporation. Foote Park amenities include a business center, clubhouse, fitness center, pool and on-site bike sharing. Market-rate rents range from $1,099 a month for a 688-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath apartment up to $1,550 for a 1,274-square-foot, three-bedroom townhouse with 2 1/2 baths. Edith Roberts, assistant manager for the property, said the base rate for income-restricted apartments is $800 for a two-bedroom unit. In 2015, HUD awarded the Memphis Housing Au-thority and City of Memphis a $30 million Choice Neighborhoods implementation grant. The grant was matched by the city. The program’s goal is to revitalize “severe-ly distressed” public housing or assisted housing and improve the neighborhood overall. “For every dollar of HUD invest-ment there’s generally seven more dollars of investment made from other public and private sources,” Turbov said of the Choice Neighborhoods program. “That means in this community our $30 million federal in-vestment is probably going to bring close to $200 million to this neighborhood.” St. Louis-based developer McCormack Baron Salazar is working in partnership with ComCap Partners and the Memphis Housing Authority. Looney Ricks Kiss is the architect; Capstone Building Corp. is the general contractor.

Puggle and Huckleberry met their work family at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in a town hall meeting over lunch Monday, Sept. 16. When the new hires came down the aisle of the packed theater in the Marlo Thomas Center for Global Edu-cation and Collaboration, the whole room, balcony included, turned to the kind of mush Mem-phis usually reserves for The Pea-body ducks.

On stage, Dr. James Downing, president and CEO, was smiling as hard as anyone as the two bounded on stage and took their places at the feet of their owners, but not before one nosed Down-ing’s hand-held microphone, sending a gentle puffing sound into the adoring audience and setting off another round of cell-phone clicks and coos.

“Now, we’ll respond to ques-tions,” Downing said. “If you set down your phone, you can raise your hand,” he said with a chuckle. The golden retriever (Puggle) and goldendoodle are the first workers in the hospital’s new Paws at Play program. The dogs (born late in 2017) have been specifically trained to be

at St. Jude, where they will each see four to six patients a day, do-ing what big, fine specimens of their breeds do best – calm and comfort.

The request for the program came from the hospital’s Patient Family Experience office. Down-ing didn’t have to hear it out. “I just said yes,” he said. On Tues-days, hospital volunteers bring their dogs. Downing stops on his way to get coffee to scruff a few ears. “It’s the unconditional love a dog gives everyone,” he said.In an instant, Downing could pic-ture dogs in hospital and pro-cedure rooms. “When we have patients undergoing spinals taps, it's very traumatic,” he said. “The dogs could be there to calm them down.”

St. Jude’s patients range from the newly diagnosed to those near the end of their lives. Down-ing sees Puggle and Huckleberry being a comfort every step of the way. “Our goal is always to make every day as possibly good as it can be. This is part of it,” he said.

Puggle and Huckleberry come from Canine Assistants in Milton, Georgia, where they have been in training since they were 4 days old. They arrived on campus early Monday, but

staff have known about them for months. There was a name-guessing contest.

Winners Oliva Kerstens, Doni Anderson and Grace Jones got prizes plus the distinction of being the first to run their fingers through the luxuriant fur.

The dogs have their own In-stagram account, @stjudepaws. The first images began showing up on St. Jude social media over the weekend.

They also have St. Jude photo I.D. badges, which the observant, including employee Bethany Peel, pointed out to each other when the dogs were in full view of TV cameras and hospital vid-eographers. “They need to bring them out for the employees when we get flu shots,” Peel said.

St. Jude made a $50,000 do-nation to Canine Assistants, and when – not if – it gets more, the hospital will make another dona-tion, Downing said.

“We’ve already met some new puppies. That’s probably where our next dog will actually come from,” he said.

This is the first time St. Jude has participated in service dog programming. Because patients often have weakened immune systems, departments created

policies for the program. The dogs will help patients achieve clinical goals as well as provide social interaction, sensory stim-ulation and reduce stress.

Puggle and Huckleberry will live with Child Life department specialists Brittany Reed and Shandra Taylor and work with them during the day, said Ash-ley Carr, one of two secondary owners.The secondary owners will fill in on vacations.

“This is just day one, but we think it’s great experience,” Carr said, noting that each of the pups has been training with pediatric

patients next to IV poles and other hospital equipment. They are comfortable with crutches and wheelchairs. Carr thinks the hospital could use a dog just for employees.

She mentions the Resilience Center, the office that helps staffers deal with the stress of their work.

She also says the in-hospital school could probably use some furry paws.

“Imagine trying to learn to read when you’re a patient here,” she said. “Reading to a dog sounds less intimidating to me.

LINDA A. MOOREThe West Tennessee News

Former Shelby County commis-sioner and the current assessor of prop-erty Melvin Burgess came to a County Commission committee Wednesday to ask that the county stop tearing down properties in Orange Mound.

Burgess also asked that the com-missioners join his office in creating a task force that looks for ways to remedy “the systematic devaluation of proper-ties” in predominantly African Ameri-can neighborhoods.

His office has been working on what it has called the Orange Mound Initia-tive, which is based on “The Devalua-tion of Assets in Black Neighbors,” a report released in 2018 by the Brook-ings Institution.

In a presentation to the core city, neighborhoods and housing commit-tee, Yvonne Parron, public relations adviser for Burgess, said a key finding

of the study was that single-family homes in African American communi-ties are valued at about 50% less than similar homes in predominately white neighborhoods.

With Memphis included in the re-port, senior appraisers from Burgess’ off ice keyed in on historic Orange Mound (the first community in the U.S. developed for African Americans), where its neighbors include the Univer-sity of Memphis, Cooper-Young, Mem-phis International Airport, Chickasaw Gardens and the Beltline.

All are areas where property values have appreciated.

In Orange Mound, property values from 2009-2019 fell by 26%.

“Meanwhile, you look at similar homes in surrounding areas and their values have increased.

And so this creates a gap of more than 50% in property values,” Parron said.

In addition, they found that 70% of the vacant residential lots in Orange Mound are owned by the Shelby County Land Bank.

Burgess said he’s met with stake-holders and private developers and will host a forum Oct. 8 to address what can be done to develop a model to turn around Orange Mound and other African American neighborhoods in Memphis.

“How do we form a collaboration with this body, the state legislative body, all bodies, to try and see how we can solve this?” Burgess asked. Fixing the problem will also bring more rev-enue to the county.

“There’s money out there where we can help change some of these commu-nities,” he said.

Commissioner Eddie Jones wanted to know if a similar moratorium was being requested for the city. There are plans to go to the city, Burgess said, but

because the county owns most of the vacant residential lots, he came to the county first.

“Being the commissioner for Or-ange Mound, this has been a constant concern of mine,” Commissioner Regi-nald Milton said.

“One of the things that I found that was glaring was how development had just backed up to Orange Mound. Actu-ally, it was almost as if it had turned its back to it and completely surrounded the area, almost like a buffer zone that was completely around the communi-ty.” Commission Chairman Mark Bill-ingsley agreed that it was an issue that needed to be addressed and planned to meet with Burgess about forming a task force.

The Oct. 8 forum is from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Shelby County Schools Teaching and Learning Academy,2485 Union Avenue.

It is open to the public.

Gestalt Community Schools has begun to turn its charter school hub at Mendenhall Square Shopping Center into a larger community asset in Hickory Hill.

Last month, Gestalt opened two new school buildings, Pow-er Center Academy Elementary School and its ninth-grade acad-emy, in the shopping center at the corner of Mendenhall and

Winchester roads.Over the next three years,

the charter school system plans to work with community part-ners to add amenities including a small grocery store, affordable child care or preschool and com-munity green space.

With the schools now open, the next step is to repave the parking lot and add trees and community green space. Gestalt has already started building

a playground, said co-founder and chief executive officer CEO Yetta Lewis.

“I’m hoping this is a model you see in other communities, where old strip shopping centers can be turned into something that can really service the com-munity,” Lewis said.

Gestalt purchased the shop-ping center in May 2018 for $8.9 from Belz Enterprises, according to public records.

The system’s Hickory Hill high school and elementary school are now in the shop-ping center, while the Hickory Hill middle school is across the street. Gestalt previously leased a building for the high school in the center. It employs a property manager for its facilities.

The system also has an el-ementary and middle schools on East Shelby Drive in the South-wind area.

The shopping center project came about after meeting with community members and find-ing out what they wanted. Lewis hopes it can become a walkable

community hub, noting the apartment complexes located across the street from the shop-ping center.

“They should be able to cross the street and just walk to the re-sources,” Lewis said.

Gestalt plans to extend its work with community partners, like Christ Community Health Services, whose Hickory Hill Health Center is located in the same Mendenhall Square Shop-ping Center, and Neighborhood Christian Centers Inc.

The partnership with Christ Community would include the nonprofit providing health ser-vices for families and staff, Lewis said, and providing health care and business internships for high school students.

Neighborhood Christian Ce-ters will operate a satellite office in Power Center Academy High School. It will provide an on-site pantry, on-site clothes closet, so-cial services support and after-school activities.

“ I ’m excited to see t he growth in Hickory Hill,” said

Neighborhood Christian Cen-ters site director Michelle Green. “They’ve been talking about rebuilding in this area for a long time, so it’s good to see how they’re rebuilding their schools and they’re rebuilding the neighborhood.”

Gestalt began in 2008 with 125 sixth-graders at Power Cen-ter Academy.

Today, across the three Hick-ory Hill schools, there are about 2,000 students. There are about 2,500 students total in Gestalt’s Memphis system.

State Sen. Katrina Robinson was a “founding parent” at Power Center Academy; her children at-tended the middle school.

She learned to use a Mac-Book from them, after her chil-dren learned how to at school, she said.

“Hickory Hill has experi-enced its challenges, but Power Center Academy has been a mainstay in Hickory Hill,” Rob-inson said.

“Power Center is now going to be the nucleus of Hickory Hill.”

Radical.tacos, the Soulsville shipping container restaurant, is set to open the weekend of the Soulsville USA Festival, which will be Saturday, Oct. 19.

The festival is held at College Street and McLemore Avenue, less than a quar-ter-mile from the restaurant at College and Walker Avenue. Radical.tacos will fea-ture herbs and produce grown in garden beds behind the restaurant managed by the Soulsville Charter School gardening club. The after-school club is known as the "Green Team."

The club has been around for five years, according to its leader, Soulsville Charter School teacher Nick Barnhart. Barnhart took over the garden four years ago while he was an environmental science teacher at the school. The students grow whatever is in season. Between one-third to half of what the Green Team grows goes home with the students. The club sells the rest of the produce to the school’s staff, allow-ing students to learn how to market and sell the food.

"It's a meaningful activity that has nothing to do with academics," Barnhart said. "A lot of people who would struggle in my classroom would excel in the garden."

Over the summer, students interned for three days a week in the garden, which culminated in a Soulsville garden stand during school registration, where they

sold produce to parents. “Our goal is to start adding once a week -- instead of just selling to staff -- once a week we’d basi-cally have a carpool-line farmers market,” said Barnhart, who this school year began teaching the junior seminar class, focusing on ACT and college prep. Barnhart and the school’s current environmental science teacher, Rachel O’Brien, both work with Green Team students.

“Being able to know where your food comes from, what it looks like and how it

grows, is such an important thing,” O’Brien said. “Especially for a lot of our urban stu-dents, who don’t spend a lot of time around farms. … Getting kids connected with food and where it comes from and how important it is to have locally grown food. Also owning a part of their community.” On Friday, Sept. 13, about 50 Soulsville students joined 275 Food Project found-ers Diane Terrell and Heather Jamerson, radical.tacos’ incoming chef Jess Hewlette, chef David Krog and other volunteers in

raising the restaurant’s garden beds. The 275 Food Project will pay students who work in the Radical.tacos garden. The nonprofit's mission is to increase the sup-ply and demand for locally sourced food (from within a 275-mile radius), as well as improve access to people of color in own-ing their own restaurants.

“We believe that local food is healthier and drives health outcomes, and we be-lieve it brings economic benefits to com-munities, and we believe it generates so-cial cohesion,” Jamerson said. “What this enables us to do is bring some of that eco-nomic gain to the residents of Soulsville. We will continue to source from our local farms, but we will also be hiring people from Soulsville Charter School, support-ing the community and working in the garden to make sure that economic benefit comes to the people of Soulsville.”

Jamerson said the garden can produce a variety of crops that are a little harder to find, which will help make the restau-rant’s food more unique. 275 Food Project has two farmers who will mentor students and community members and work with Hewlette on seasonality of the menu and offerings that are specific to the region.

“This community garden is a working farm that extends our mission from 275 and brings that right to Soulsville for those three outcomes that we want to drive: the

BILL DRIESThe West Tennessee News

A dramatic shift in the campaign for mayor took shape over the weekend amid indications of a low turnout based on the first two days of early voting.

For months, County Commissioner Tami Sawyer has been on the offense in her bid to unseat incumbent Mayor Jim Strickland — challenging Strickland to debate her and to be more vocal on na-tional issues including immigration and criminal justice reform. But after a week of old tweets on race and sexual orienta-tion resurfacing from as long as 10 years ago, Sawyer moved to answer the criticism of those tweets over the weekend with a post on Medium.

“There are tweets that show a wom-an who, at that point, still hadn’t come to terms with her homophobia, who still wasn’t standing up and being a voice for all, regardless of ability,” she wrote.

“I am, not just deeply ashamed, but deeply sorry for those tweets, the harm they caused at the time, and the harm that seeing them now will still bring up, espe-cially for members of those communities, and for all of us. I’m not sorry for the story, though, of how I got from there to here.”

Sawyer was referring to a 2014 tweet, after her move back to Memphis from Washington D.C., in which she said she and other Howard University students had “outed” a gay faculty member.

“We had a teacher that was a closeted lesbian,” she tweeted. “Decided it was our duty to out her. She quit after a semester.”

In a 2010 tweet Sawyer wrote: "I have little admiration respect for police. Pro-tect and serve... meh."

Sawyer said some of her Twitter posts were taken out of context, including one about white babies in horror movies.

"Little white kids in scary movies freak me out," she tweeted in 2009. "I'm glad I can't have white babies. Cuz I might kill one thinking they're damned."

But other tweets, she said, were wrong

and she apologized for those.“So, while I’m embarrassed for who I

was a decade ago in many ways, I’m also deeply proud of the woman I’ve become,” Sawyer wrote. “I’m deeply proud right now, to stand as a candidate who cares first and foremost, not about Tami Sawyer, but about the Memphis we so frequently leave behind: Black Memphis. Latinx Memphis. LGBTQ Memphis. Asian Mem-phis. Muslim Memphis. Disabled

And those constituencies, Sawyer has insisted even before making her bid for mayor, have to be addressed specifically and intentionally by city government.

All of that has gone toward a specific appeal to voters in which Sawyer says city government is leaving out parts of the city even as other parts prosper in the current economic development boom.

Sawyer has said that's not a matter of timing but the result of structural racism.

In a September interview on Behind The Headlines, she referred to Strickland as "not ... an anti-racist" when responding to criticism of Strickland by CNN com-mentator Angela Rye.

Rye, while campaigning with Sawyer, accused Strickland of being a "racist" and a "Dixiecrat."

“It is clear that I have not always been the person that I am today. I have said things on public platforms that are hurt-ful, offensive, and just wrong," Sawyer wrote Saturday.

"As someone who works every day in the fight for justice, I am sorry I ever thought these things, said these things, and amplified these things. I am embar-rassed by my past self and I am grateful to have had the space, the teachers, and the desire to grow beyond that version of me.”

Neither Strickland nor challenger and former Mayor Willie Herenton have com-mented on the tweets by Sawyer.

Strickland did not respond directly to Sawyer’s description of him as “not … an anti-racist.” But he did defend his administration’s record on diversity in

appointments to leadership positions in city government. He also touted increas-ing the city’s percentage of spending with minority businesses from 12% before he took office in 2016 to 20%.

Sawyer, Strickland and Herenton each panned a cover of Memphis magazine’s September issue that was a group por-trait of them done in caricature. Sawyer and other critics said the portrayal of her specifically played into Jim Crow-era ra-cial stereotypes.

Contemporary Media CEO Anna Traverse apologized and had the issue taken off newsstands in response to the controversy.

Early voting resumes Monday after a Sunday break and continues through Sept. 28, in advance of the Oct. 3 elec-tion day.

The first two days of the voting period saw a turnout of 3,840 compared to an early voter turnout of 4,916 after the first two days in 2015.

But there are some uncertainties in the opening day count that make it ten-tative and subject to change. The Shelby County Election Commission said Sat-urday it was still checking some address changes and numbers from nursing homes where the vote goes to the voters.

There has been no update. And the Election Commission has not yet released more specific turnout numbers by early voting locations as well as the precincts in which the early voters live.

Meanwhile, City Council contender Davin Clemons held a fundraiser Sunday evening in the South Main area that in-cluded an endorsement by Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris in the District 6 contest.

Clemons is a Memphis Police officer serving as an LGBTQ liaison.

The six-way contest also features ac-tivist Theryn Bond, who has the backing of the People’s Convention; her father, Per-ry Bond, who has run for the seat over sev-eral decades; former council member Ed-mund Ford Sr.; Paul S. Brown and J. Jaques Hamilton. Harris was elected to the state Senate in 2014 in an upset of incumbent Ophelia Ford in the Democratic primary, ending the Ford family’s 29-year hold on the seat. But Harris has pushed back on the idea that he is an opponent or critic of the city’s best-known political family.

Before holding his first elected posi-tion on the Memphis City Council in 2012, Harris had hosted a fundraiser for Justin Ford in a County Commission race that

The open space is designed to be mod-ular. Curtains can separate the movie rental collection from the theater space if a quieter environment is wanted for pro-grammed screenings. The racks are on rollers and can be moved out to open up the full room for larger events.

Black Lodge has partnered with Rec Room gaming wrangler John Morgan to supply arcade games, which Martin hopes to have installed in the coming weeks.

While this has been a “soft” opening, Black Lodge held a “Club Crystal Lake” dance party this past Friday (the 13th), screening the related 1980s “slasher” se-ries. Planned events for later this month include cult-film-connected actor/musi-cian Jon Mikl Thor on Sept. 20 and the Italian art-rock band Goblin on Sept. 23. The latter will reproduce their score for the Dario Argento horror classic “Deep Red,” playing along with a screening of the film.

“We’re not rich,” said Martin about not opening at full speed. “The best thing we can do is get the video store and the venue up and start doing shows and parties and do what we call phase one.”

Eventually, Martin hopes to have near-ly nightly screenings, concerts or other events, mentioning small-scale theater, stand-up comedy and burlesque shows.

A kitchen will be installed in “phase two,” planned for sometime early next year, with Blair providing “stoner bar food with vegan and vegetarian options.”

If all of this programming is essential to the economic survival of a video store that can no longer afford to be only that, it also enhances what Martin sees as one of Black Lodge’s reasons for being: To provide the kind of third space where people with shared affinities can gather.

At a time when physical media is im-periled, independent book and record stores have maintained relevance by serv-ing a similar function.

“It’s become harder to find places that encourage social interaction and talking,” Martin said.

“The video store, like a bookstore or record store, was that for people. You were around people you didn’t know, but you clearly had a common interest.”

And that common interest — movies — remains the core concern and primary purpose.

Streaming has made physical media and the places that preserve it irrelevant? Are you sure?

“We’re already watching the frac-turing of the streaming market. Disney will be first. Then Warner Media, then Paramount, then Sony. Eventually, if you want access to all the movies available via streaming you’ll need about $120 (a month) worth of streaming services,” said Martin. “None of them are going to play nice with each other.” Even all that won’t get you everything. And that doesn’t just mean the kind of cult movies and rarities in which Black Lodge specializes.Want to watch the 1985 John Cusack comedy “Bet-ter Off Dead”? Or Lynch’s 1990 Cannes winner “Wild at Heart”? Or the oh-so-quotable 1992 David Mamet adaptation “Glengarry Glen Ross”?None of those titles — among countless others — are currently available on streaming services, according to the indispensable third-party site Just Watch. (And the most ubiquitous stream-ing service, Netflix, has all but abandoned older movies.) All are on the shelves at Black Lodge.

“You think everything is at your finger-tips, but it’s not,” Martin said.

While the Lodge was on its walkabout, Martin spent part of the time personally resurfacing the collection’s roughly 20,000 discs. (A process that literally strips the top layer from a disc, removing scratches while leaving digital information.)

He also converted roughly 2,000 mov-ies from the Lodge’s VHS collection to DVD for rental, titles that have never been released on DVD or streaming. There’s no new physical form likely to emerge for home film viewership. “This is it,” Mar-tin said. “If we don’t preserve it. You’re going to pay through the nose (for what remains available).” And, for Martin, the video store, with its rows of covers you can peruse and pick up, isn’t just about pre-serving film history, but creating avenues for exploring it. “Netflix’s algorithm only has the ability to suggest things similar to what you’ve already seen,” he said. “It keeps you in a niche of your already exist-ing interests and asks you to stay there. A video store doesn’t do that. It invites you to notice just how much cinema you haven’t seen, and inspire you to maybe see some different things.”

Ford won. The District 6 council seat was held by Edmund Ford Jr. until Ford resigned last year following his election to the Shelby County Commission.

The council appointed Gerre Currie, a bank vice president, to the seat over Ford Sr., who held the seat before his son was elected to it in 2007.

It marked the first time someone other than a Ford had held the seat since 1971.

But Currie decided instead of running for the District 6 seat she would seek the open Super District 8 Position 1 seat Joe Brown is giving up because of term limits. Currie has said she has known Edmund Ford Sr. for years and that his declaration that he would run for his old seat despite her appointment was a factor in choosing a different race.

Hewlette will be chef-in-residence for 18 months. She plans an Asian-fusion menu. “I’m extremely excited to get in here and start cooking,” Hewlette said. “But to get in here and see this process from liter-ally -- when I first came over here there was still grass (in the lot) -- from literally the ground up. It becomes real for me to see it growing.” Green Team student Cha-daeveyia Robinson, a senior at Soulsville Charter School, said the club’s work is do-ing something good for the community. She’s also very excited for the restaurant.

“I know that this is going to make our community look better as a unit,” she said. “With (Memphis) Rox that’s creating unity and this taco food place, it’s saying that South Memphis ain’t poverty, we are trying to better our youth. We’re trying to show that we are a community that’s worth believing in.”
