The Edge District
A relatively small sliver of a neighborhood situated between the Medical District and Downtown Core, the Edge is anchored by the historic Sun Studios to the east and the Redbird’s AutoZone Park to the west. Many of its industrial buildingss have been converted to studios and craft spaces, and the area is increasingly attracting new businesses, including the Trolley Stop Market, Evelyn & Olive, High Cotton Brewery and Mutt Island Dog Daycare. Recent placemaking efforts have focused on walkability with beautification of streetscapes and crosswalks in the area.
Socially minded entrepreneurs help students excel
Memphis has been noted for its above-average charity; we are a city willing to give. That generosity is bleeding over into local start-ups, where entrepreneurs increasingly want to make money and do good at the same time.
Getting out in the Edge
There’s no shortage of things to do in the Edge District. The neighborhood is home to the birthplace of Rock N’ Roll, one of Memphis’ oldest bars and one of its favorite local breweries, plus it is quickly becoming a foodie paradise with dishes featuring foods from local farms and flavors from as far away as Indiana, Venezuela or Jamaica.
