In her decade in Memphis working with Innovate Memphis,  and (currently), the Memphis Medical District Collaborative (MMDC), Abby Miller -with her colleagues and collaborators - has helped pioneer a number of innovations designed to spur neighborhood economic vitality and reduce the barriers for emerging creative businesses. Abby visits Memphis Metropolis to reflect on how small-scale strategies such as pop-up shops, facade beautification,  and pedestrian improvements can help unlock the "lovabilty" and economic potential of a street or neighborhood.  Later in the program,  Emily and commentator Charlie Santo talk about the efforts of the MMDC and whether similar so-called "anchor strategies" (based around one or more institutions) could be deployed in the University District, as well.
