You would figure that with all of the back and forth drives I did from Knoxville to Texas through the years, I would have stopped off and seen some of Memphis. But every time I drove through I was booking it trying to get to my destination as fast as I could. This time was a lot different....with no job and no destination to get to, I had time to stop off and experience some of Memphis.
I don't know why I didn't make myself stop earlier, but I'm glad I finally did! I liked Memphis for some of the reasons that I like New Orleans, it just had an interesting mix of people, music and culture. I got a chance to fulfill another childhood dream and see Graceland.....after all, I do share a birthday with The King. And was truly moved at the Civil Rights Museum at the site of the former Lorraine Motel. I stopped off for some pretty good BBQ before hitting the road to spend a long weekend in Nashville with a great friend.
More later......
