2012 M Awards: Favorite Bike Shop

Soon the wintertime hibernation will come and the bicycles of the Mid-South will forage to fill the inner-tubes of their training-wheeled offspring with enough sustenance to make it to spring. Until then, visit Outdoors, Inc. for all the bicyclic sustenance you need. Tell them you must feed. Tell them you have to fill your tubes with sustenance. Tell them MemphiSport sent you.

2012 M Awards: Favorite Place To Spend A Nice Afternoon

Many voted, but apparently, all were wrong. You chose to spend the afternoon here. On the internet. Specifically on memphisport.net. I have to note that even though we didn’t nominate memphisport.net for this honor, I am surprised that not even one of you people out there wrote us in for this award. I consider it a travesty. How many of you reading this right now are at the Zoo? Or Shelby Farms? Or the Bluff? I vow to correct this next year.

The Memphis ZooFirst Place: 35.11%

The Bluff at AutoZone ParkThird Place: 13.79%

2012 M Awards: Favorite Healthy Store

I read this on the internet, so it must be true: I know this sounds a bit like the old ancient Japanese legend that eating brains makes you smarter – BUT – eating/drinking chlorophyll does increase the quality AND quantity of your red blood cells. Hey, I don’t make this stuff up. I don’t have any idea if increasing the quality of your red blood cells is beneficial, but I know that choking down a 12 ounce glass of clippings from my neighbors urine soaked yard cannot be beneficial, but that is just me opinion. Note: you read it on the internet, so it must be true.
