Lakeland, Tennessee
Lakeland is a city in Shelby County, Tennessee, United States, and a part of the Memphis metropolitan area. As of the 2020 census, Lakeland had a population of 13,904.
The city was the location of the now defunct Lakeland Amusement Park. The city was originally themed around the Lake now called Garner Lake. It had two railroads within the park property, including the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge Huff 'n' Puff Railroad and a separate 16 in (406 mm) miniature railway railroad made by the Allan Herschell Company.
In June 2024, Lakeland resident and US Navy veteran Julie Pereira sued the city of Lakeland for violating her First Amendment rights when it fined Pereira hundreds of dollars for violating the city's regulation against obscene content on signs, after she displayed a political sign in her yard that read 'Fuck Em' Both 2024', referring to 2024 US presidential election candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump. In July 2024, US District Judge Mark Norris ruled that Pereira's sign was not obscene and that it was unconstitutional for the city to regulate political points of view, citing as precedent the 1971 decision by the US Supreme Court in the case of Cohen v. California, and ordered the city to reimburse Pereira nearly $700 in fines and to pay her $31,000 in legal fees and $1 in damages.
