An estimated 3,000 people visit Crosstown Concourse each day, most of them working for or a customer, client or patient of one of the building’s tenants. There are also more than 260 apartments on the property as well as a high school that just opened its doors for its first class of 125 freshmen.

Getting Started: Business advice for founders

Shannon Little left her job in marketing with the Huey's restaurant chain in Memphis to start her own solo marketing and social media venture. Such ventures at first glance might seem like a dime a dozen, leaving her with a task that had to be addressed before meeting with her first client.

"Define your target audience, your offerings and what value those offerings can bring to that audience," Little said, "My business became stronger, and my processes more streamlined, when I was able to define those terms."

Sippin' Local: Memphis Area Coffee Shops

I’m not about to start knocking the ‘bux or other mass-chain coffee shops, because 1) that’s boring and predictable, and 2) it’s like dissing that box of orange-powder pasta we have for those “oh crap, there’s a family to feed in 20 and we don’t have the necessary groceries/time/energy to pull it off” nights. It’s always nice to spot that blue box topless green mermaid when we’re in need.
