Arkwings: A Hidden Gem in Frayser. With Jana Wilson.

Memphis Metropolis is about the built environment – the building blocks that define the look and feel of our city and region. From the downtown skyscrapers to the historic neighborhoods to the suburbs, we’ll talk to community leaders and residents, examining architecture, transportation, public art, parks, development and redevelopment plans, and much more, from a variety of perspectives. Your host is Emily Trenholm. Memphis Metropolis airs every Monday from 1 to 2 pm. Central on WYXR 91.7 FM.
