These stories are derived of the author's ten-year struggle
(1982-1991) on behalf of the endangered South Main Street Historic
District in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. The photographs are from a
1986 series of gelatin silver photos taken by McGowan in and near
the district. The stories focus in large measure on confrontations
with inept and visionless city agencies and arts funding groups and
the frustrations inherent in seeking to work with such entities
toward district revitalization. Memphis' South Main Street Historic
District, once neglected and deteriorating, much of it on the verge
of demotion, is now, two or three decades later, a thriving,
energetic mixed commercial/residential neighborhood with a
distinctive arts vitality. SOUTH MAIN STORIES conveys to the reader
what it can be like for a neighborhood to make that transition and
will therefore be of relevance to any adventurous and determined
individuals involved in such an effort. SOUTH MAIN STORIES is
designed by the artist Terri J. Jones.
