From the Midtown Security Community:
Be aware that a coyote has been positively identified in the 1400 block of Central where it was devouring a neighborhood cat on Saturday, July 24. It has also been seen in the past week on Melrose between Central and Peabody heading north.
We are working in close cooperation with Union Station Police Station on this matter. Here is what you need to do if you see the coyote.
1. Call the police immediately and give the exact location of where the coyote is. Remind them that we have been instructed by Union Station to notify the police and that the coyote has already killed a cat. 545-COPS
2. If you have time, stay on the phone and try to follow the coyote so you can help officers locate it.
3. Be very cautious. This coyote has already killed one cat. Take precautions for young children. Pets should be closely
watched until the coyote can be caught.
4. If you belong to a security service, call them also if you see the coyote.
5. E-mail the time, date, and place of a coyote sighting to Maj. Terry Landrum, Union Station Police, terry.landrum@memphistn.gov.
We will keep you posted on developments with the coyote. Union Station is working to get authorization to set traps. Thank you for your support.

Lost on 7/29/2010 at around 7:30 pm – beagle named Sawyer. Like most beagles, he is a little shy so he will likely not come if you just call his name, so please have a treat and lower it to the ground for him. He is microchipped and tattooed in one ear. If seen, please contact the owners immediately. Please see full classified ad here or here.

A new bike shop is opening in Cooper Young! Victory Bicycle Studio will operate a 500 square foot shop at 2294 Young Ave (in the same building as the Community Association offices).
From the Memphis Business Journal:
The company, owned by Robert Taylor, Clark Butcher and Michael Crumb, will be a full-service bicycle retailer specializing in service, fit analysis, fitness assessments, training programs and sales.
The company chose the site due to continued development in Cooper Young and the stabilization of the Fairgrounds with construction starting on the Kroc Center of Memphis and Tiger Lane.

So, it is good for the environment and good for your bank account too since you can save up to $8,800 per year!
