The V&E Greenline is a 1.7-mile rails-to-trails park that is owned by the neighborhood and was purchased by the neighborhood in 1996. The trail runs from Springdale to Watkins, with intersections at Stonewall, Evergreen, Mclean, and Jackson, in Memphis, TN.  Visit the V&E Greenline history page.   We hope to see you on the Greenline.

Commercial Appeal September 7, 2008

 

On August 25, 2008, areas of Memphis received three inches of rain.  This led to high water (and some urban and basement flooding) in neighborhoods near Lick Creek, including sections of the Greenline.  This picture shows the rushing water under the Lick Creek Bridge.  It is approximately 15 feet above normal.  Thanks to the Coonin family for the picture.
