Listener Sends Greetings from Midtown Memphis

Still life in Midtown Memphis, Tennessee.

Lindsey Turner

Lindsey Turner, not quite 26, moved from a farm in Saltillo, Tenn., to the Midtown neighborhood of Memphis. Turner has spent the past year blogging at least a picture a day with Project 365, and now she sends this slideshow about life there.

Check out more of Turner's work on her blog, Theology and Geometry. My personal favorite: Watch what happens to the tiles when you scroll down.

P.S. If you'd like us to feature your town in a slideshow, drop us a note in the comments.
