Former TBA president and Memphis lawyer Bill Haltom will sign copies of his new book “Sears Crosstown in Memphis: From Catalogues to a Concourse” on Tuesday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. CDT. The event, sponsored by Burkes Books, will be held at the Crosstown Concourse, 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis 38104. Haltom writes about the history of Sears Crosstown, the warehouse and distribution center for the company’s mail-order empire. The building was vacated in the 1980s with the decline of Sears. For decades it remained shuttered until a group of Memphians decided to resurrect the space with a plan most thought was impossible.
