On Friday, September 22, the huge yard event will draw crowds from all over the Greater Memphis area and from neighboring states.

Midtown isn’t the first Memphis community that is skeptical of Jay Kumar putting a hotel in their neighborhood.

Kumar and prospective investors spoke at an open meeting last night at Memphis Heritage’s Howard Hall – they announced their interest in replacing the vacant French Quarter Inn with a Comfort Suites.
