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.
In addition to all the people who visit Crosstown daily since it opened in August 2017, there is also a steady stream of people showing up to do freelance assignments or to work remotely from their employer’s or home office.
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.
She now handles marketing and social media efforts for several small businesses and is able to juggle all the tasks that go with that because she took the time to form a plan for herself at the very beginning.
"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."

Before you take away my Memphis card for not liking barbecue pizza, barbecue spaghetti or barbecue nachos, let me point out there are exceptions to these made-in-Memphis dishes. Barbecue spaghetti at the Bar-B-Q Shop is a whole different thing from sauce poured over noodles and I love the stuff – more on that another day. And while I’m not going to get excited over barbecue pizza, the baby one at Pete & Sam’s is not so bad – it’s tiny, after all.

You have entered 2019 with all of your New Year’s resolutions. I hope that one of those resolutions was to be a contributor to United Way of Southern WV.

Will you please help us raise the dollars needed to support the agencies that serve all of our neighborhoods?

More than "Aquaman" or "The Last Jedi" or any other special effects adventure or fantasy, "Free Solo" — a harrowing documentary about solo "free climber" Alex Honnold's attempt to scale the sheer 7,500-foot cliff face of the "El Capitan" rock formation in Yosemite National Park — should absolutely dazzle in the IMAX format. (Some of its vertiginous real-life footage is so dizzying it would be hard to watch even on a cellphone.) That's why the movie is returning for one week only to the IMAX auditorium at the Malco Paradiso, to take advantage of the giant-screen, high-definition format.
