If you notice closely, the map of Madison and Cooper shows one part of the
streets built as a rounded corner. A similar feature was found several
miles south at Cooper and Young. This was built to accomodate the old
street cars that ran from downtown out to the Fairgrounds.

I grew up in Memphis until the age of twelve living part of that time at 90
N Cooper. My Dad had his Dental practice in the front part of our house.
In the late 1980's I returned to Memphis as a manager of the TGI Friday's
on the Square. We closed Friday's to re-model and the parent company would
not let the franchisee re-open. The franchisee also owned Bombay Bicycle
Club, Gertrude's and Gonzalez's, a seafood restarant and Studebaker's on
the square as well as a restaurant out in Germantown. All were closed when
the TABC came in one day and said the owner had not paid any Alcohol taxes.
Seems he was from New York and disappeared with the cash. Anyway, there
was always something going on in the Square. The merchant's association
had their own security group run by a LT from the Memphis PD.
