As soon as the Orange Mound Block Party got underway, the Memphis Police Department showed up and began citing people for having alcohol or beer in the park. There is a city ordinance against beer in the parks, but the annoying thing is that usually whenever you drive past this park (or many others in Memphis) you see old bums drinking beer in the parks, and the police never do a thing. But as soon as there is a predominantly-Black community event, they show up ready to enforce the ordinance strictly.

The Orange Mound Block Party got off to a slow start due to the excessive heat, but eventually people started to show up. Vendors did well, particularly anybody selling anything cold.
