Great, Great, Great. All I can think about is the the fact that you couldn't stop talking about maps in high school. I'm sure you can imagine the smile on my face the entire time I was reading the article. You were made for this and I couldn't be happier. Keep up the good work and I look forward to part #2. That's always been one of my favorite parts of the city (let's not talk about our teenage abode..) and I love to see it through your eyes and in abundant detail. ~j Josh,

Our last 100 years of deterioration and underutilization of this asset deserves a place in our hall of shame. A small group of us have been working on an initiative to restore the medians to the Parkways and complete the loop. Let me know if you and others are interested in joining us. Andy Josh,

On another note... we need to get some creative graphics person to come up with t-shirt designs for all of the "speedways". How cool would it be to have a whole series of Speedway/speedwear shirts? Maybe as a fundraiser for something related to the Parkways? We’re at Coletta’s for dinner fairly often but disappointed that I’ve never been to the Four Way.

When this parkway system and parks system were laid out, Memphis was considered a leader in the Progressive Movement of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Seems to us that we have that kind of opportunity again by getting back to the basics, because as you point out, they never go out of style. Another great job, Josh.

Looking forward to the next installment. Love the maps & photos. How long did it take for you to drive this section, while paying enough attention to document the changes? Great job, Josh.
