A few of my favorite sights from recent Memphis trips, in no particular order.
View of both the Hernando de Soto Bridge and the Mississippi River from the rooftop of the Peabody Hotel.
The neon of Beale Street, looking uncharacteristically dim on an overcast afternoon.
Al Green's church, established 5 days after I was born.
Intimate Elvis Costello solo show at Minglewood Hall, closed out with 14 songs across 3 separate encores.
Stax Records, home of Otis Redding and the Staple Singers.
Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, and Howlin' Wolf recorded here.
Slow-smoked pork BBQ Nachos from Central BBQ.
Memphis is highly recommended.
