Veterans Day closures for tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 11: Memphis-Shelby County Schools students are out, every Memphis Public Libraries branch is closed, and so are Collierville's Burch Library, the Bartlett Library and city offices in most of the suburbs. There's no city trash pickup in Memphis, so Wednesday customers roll carts out Thursday instead; Team Waste customers aren't affected. MLGW's offices close too, but My Account still handles payments and outage status. (via City of Memphis, MLGW)

Shelby County's new Mayor's Mobile Office is on the road. The van visits neighborhoods so residents can bring a concern to the county without driving downtown, and groups can request a stop online. (via Action News 5)

Our welcome email asks every new reader what they last found out about after it already happened. B.G. C.'s answer: the new Chamber CEO. That one ran in yesterday's Rundown, so consider yourself caught up.

Your turn: what's the last Memphis thing you heard about a day too late? Hit reply. It's how we decide where to look next.

The tip line never closes — a band, a pop-up, a Tuesday-night find we missed. No gatekeeping — send it to hey@heymemphis.co.

That's it for today — see you tomorrow at 6.
