Memphis City Beautiful Memphis City Beautiful has worked since 1930 to keep Memphis clean, green, and beautiful.

The Memphis City Beautiful Commission, formed in 1930, is the oldest beautification commission in the United States. In 1930, our first job was to transform the then dismal and heavily trashed riverfront into a showplace for which Memphians could be proud. Five years later, in 1935, Riverside Drive was opened, and Memphis had a beautiful new "front door."

It is with heavy hearts that we share that Jo Ann Street has passed away. Jo Ann was a passionate community advocate and volunteer who worked tirelessly to support Memphis City Beautiful programs and activities. Jo Ann especially loved her neighborhood parks, and she was a longtime participant in our Adopt A Park program, serving as an advocate for Hollywood, University, and Gooch Parks (HUG). She will be deeply missed!
