You Belong to Which Memphis City Council District? A Hilarious (and Helpful) Guide
Living in Memphis is like living in a giant, delicious plate of barbecue - there's a whole lot going on, and it's all pretty darn good. But unlike barbecue portions, figuring out your city council district can feel a bit more mysterious than a secret dry rub recipe. Fear not, fellow Memphian, for this guide will have you navigating the labyrinth of districts like a seasoned politician (minus the questionable tan).
Step 1: Address, Oh Address, Where Art Thou?
First things first, you gotta grab your voter registration card (or that bill you keep meaning to open). We need that sweet, sweet address to find your district. Pro Tip: If you haven't registered to vote yet, this is a great excuse to do it! Plus, you get to weigh in on who gets to decide where the best barbecue joints get built (or at least, some important stuff).
Step 2: Let's Get Digital, Memphis Style
Now that you've got your address, it's time to unleash the power of the internet! Shelby County has a nifty little tool called the Shelby County Locator [Shelby County ReGIS Memphis City Council Districts Map]. This magical website will take your address and tell you which glorious city council district you belong to. Bonus points if you can impress your friends by knowing the district number before they even finish typing in their address.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
