Artist forges fence along Black Bayou
Artist-blacksmith John Golightly, under the auspices of the UrbanArt Commission, is building a fence along Black Bayou in the Normal Station neighborhood, south of the University of Memphis campus.
Normal Station is bounded by Southern, Goodlett, Park and Highland.
Black Bayou, channeled in the 1940s, runs along the west side of Goodman. Two pedestrian bridges have been constructed there by the City of Memphis.
Golighty and the UrbanArt Commission will hold a Community Day today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Goodman between Park and Douglass, to allow residents of the neighborhood to learn about forging and to help make a decorative panel for the fence that will border the bayou.
