The scale model river replica in Mud Island River Park is receiving some much needed TLC. The work comes 30 years after the park's grand opening.  

According to the Memphis Daily News, work will include simple things like re-caulking joints and more complicated repairs to recylcing pumps that carry water from the mini Gulf of Mexico back to the north end of the park or "headwaters" of the model.

The river replica is considered by many to be one of the city's architectural gems.  It has sustained some damage from settling over the years and the flood of 2010.

(WMC-TV) - Residents of the Claridge House and the Renaissance Apartments recently discovered that two rodent traps have been placed in the alleyway behind the buildings.

Each building has an entrance/exit in the alleyway and many of the residents use those access doors to take out their dogs.

Residents contacted Action News 5 saying there had not been a significant rodent presence around the buildings, some even saying they had never seen a critter in the alley.  So why place the traps now? How will the traps affect foot traffic in the alley? Do they contain poison that could be dangerous to pets? 

The apartment management responded saying that the traps have been placed ahead of the cold weather, to prevent any mice, rats, etc. from seeking refuge in the buildings when cold weather comes.
