Training people for the next few weeks in Memphis starting Monday. Know we have some southeners on this board, anything I should make a point of seeing/doing?
I love Memphis. But, it takes a certain type.
If you dig dingy old dive bars with a former bordello upstairs, few repairs ever made, no building codes, with low key live rock/blues and a grill check out Ernestine & Hazels. Beale st has some cool stuff and a few great R&B/Jazz/Soul musicians on any given night. King's Palace is cool over there, the soda shop is neat, you can walk down to the river too (it will probably be hot as **** this week), lots of little things here and there.
There's also the Stax records muesum, the MLK tribute area (hotel where he was assassinated), my relative's only spot they'll visit is the Bass Pro shops, "The Second Line" on cooper st has decent cajun food, no shortage of BBQ spots, there's the Peabody (I think) hotel where they do a duck walk (I know, odd, but people love it), a lot of the buildings downtown have a real cool history but they're all either Thai joints or something else now, no shortage of typical brew pub type spots.
