Uptown & The Pinch
Uptown and The Pinch got their start in the mid-1800s as Memphis’ first planned subdivision and business district. From the beginning, they were uniquely diverse, with dozens of different nationalities, religions, races, and incomes levels mingled in just a few square miles. Heavy disinvestment starting in the 1970s left the neighborhood virtually gutted, but efforts in the early 2000s brought reinvestment and new possibility. Today the legacy of historic Uptown-Pinch continues as the community works towards a multicultural, mixed-income, mixed-use revitalization. High Ground embedded our On the Ground team in Uptown-Pinch from April through July 2018.
