Q
What can my kids get involved with after-school and on weekends?
I love music and the free concerts at Overton Park; when I’m there, I feel a sense of belonging—families hanging out together and kids running around.

For gardeners, Memphis is a great place. You can grow basically anything—even into the fall and the early winter.
