McMillan Street Block Party, RIP King Craddy

Later in the afternoon, there was a block party in South Memphis in memory of a young man called King Craddy who had been murdered several years ago.

At the Smokey City Block Party In North Memphis

Smokey City is one of North Memphis’ oldest neighborhoods, allegedly named for the smoke from fires that early residents used to cook their meals and warm their houses. Each summer, the neighborhood sponsors a block party and picnic with a DJ, kids’ activities and plenty of grilled chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs. 6/2/12
