Memphis Magazine has been publishing an annual City Guide each August since 1984. That means we’ve now brought you FORTY City Guides. (Yes, City Guide will celebrate its 40th birthday next year; math is weird, y’all.)
To mark the milestone, we’ve compiled all 40 City Guide covers from our archives. As you can see, our style has evolved over the years ... but our deep appreciation for Memphis has not.
Let us know which cover you would frame — and don't miss this year’s City Guide!
