What impact has the Crosstown Concourse rehabilitation had on the community?
As I’ve watched Concourse grow over the last couple of years, I feel like it’s the first time we have a place where the full spectrum of Memphis creativity has a place to hang out. I see old and young musicians working together, and the racial makeup is really refreshing. Also, as a parent who is raising kids interested in the arts, it’s great to see teens come out of school every day at 3:00, take pictures, make videos, dance.. just hanging out and being creative.
What is your favorite Crosstown Concourse show or event to date?
There are two: First, the Jonathan Kirksey Mellotron Concert…
Second, Darius Wallace’s one-man show at Crosstown Arts Theater; it was packed with people from all walks of life.
Something that has surprised you about living at Concourse?
It’s the way creativity spills into everyday spaces. You might come down for coffee or a bite to eat and suddenly find yourself surrounded by dancers, photographers, and artists all doing their thing.
What does an ideal day at Crosstown Concourse look like for you?
An ideal day starts with an iced chai latte and breakfast sandwich from French Truck Coffee, followed by relaxing on the second-floor terrace. I might catch a pop-up performance in the atrium, take a walk with my dog around the greenspace, and end the evening with a show in the Green Room and a cocktail—like a 90 in the Shade—from Art Bar.
