Conaway: Their Chamber, or ours?
Dan Conaway
Dan Conaway is a lifelong Memphian, fascinated and frustrated with his city, but still in love. A columnist since 2010, his distinguished advertising career has branded ribs in the Rendezvous and ducks in The Peabody, pandas in the zoo and Grizzlies in the NBA. Stories in Memphis tend to write themselves. He’s helped a few along. Two book collections of his columns have been published.
“And whoever — singular or plural — made the decision to bypass all elected bodies, kneecap the brand-new city mayor and invite Tenn. Gov. Bill Lee to come plant the state flag in City Hall does not speak for us.”
