What ‘A C’ Stands For
For fun, ask residents of Midtown Memphis where they last saw A C Wharton Jr.
“On the news,” some might say. “At a meeting,” others might answer.
But the most common replies would go something like this: “He was in line behind me at Starbucks.” Or “I saw him getting his groceries yesterday at Schnuck’s.”
Wharton sightings in the heart of the city are legion, emblematic of his high profile in the neighborhood he calls home. It is not difficult to spot the newly elected Memphis mayor, in between intense glances at his Blackberry PDA, grabbing a cup of coffee with the rest of us – or somewhat incongruously picking up a loaf of bread at the grocery store, the jacket of his three-piece suit often still buttoned at the end of a day.
