We got to Memphis at about 730pm checked into the ghetto Motel 6 and headed out to Beale St. Erin decided it would be a good idea to play “Walkin’ in Memphis” on repeat the entire time we were in Memphis, and even when we went to Arkansas. We parked downtown and walked up and down Beale a few times trying to figure out the best place to go. We wanted live music and dinner, we settled on Blue’s City Cafe, i had ribs and Erin had fried shrimp. I had some sort of local beer, and we were entertained by a Johnny Cash cover band. They guy was good, but did more talking than he did singing.
After dinner we walked around a little more, went into a few souvenir shops, and then decided to drive around the downtown area a little bit, while driving we decided to go to Arkansas because it was so close. We needed new tapes for the video camera so we went to Wal-Mart! This Wal-Mart was ridiculous. It had a full supermarket, and a huge regular Wal-Mart all rolled into one. So we stocked up on more snacks, refreshed some toiletries, and got our video tapes.
Beale St wasn’t what i expected. Very neon heavy, and catered toward the tourist, and only a few blocks long. I want there to be a way to find out where the people who live in all these towns go to hear music, drink and eat!
