Disco primed for a comeback in 2021
Running into Paula Raiford is the Memphis equivalent of a celebrity sighting. She even sells merchandise branded with “I know Paula Raiford.”
The owner of Paula and Raiford’s Disco agreed to talk about how the pandemic affected her businesses, a staple of Memphis night life. The club has almost fully transitioned to its pre-pandemic atmosphere, bringing an excitement and fun to the club scene.
Arriving early to speak with the outgoing owner provides an opportunity to survey the surroundings of the club on South Second Street in downtown Memphis.
