| What can one say about Beale Street, Memphis.....walking Beale Street to the sound of Blues & Rock & Soul is when it hits you how deep Memphis music runs and how it connects us all and how it lives on today... |
 |
| One of the must places to eat is B B King's Blues Restaurant, live music and good food... |
 |
| I do have a video of the street "entertainment" but unable to get it to upload at the moment... Basically there a bunch of very fit acrobats who do tumbles down the middle of the street, one mistake and it is a very hard landing especially at the speed that they are going... The building that is being propped up and looks to be just a facia the lower floors are in fact an Irish Pub. |
 |
| Beale Street played a critical roll in the development of Memphis and it's music...it's history involves legends, gagsters, stories of the civil war and civil rights.... |
 |
| Our shuttle driver, a real character, tells us on the way back to the Heartbreak Hotel & RV Park that tonight was actually a quiet night on Beale Street !!! |
 |
| Our stay in Memphis has been great but the weather has been against us in fact it starts to rain again just as we head for the shuttle pick up point... no Graceland Tour for us this time and the weather , coupled with us misjudging how busy the Graceland Mansion Tour would be on a Saturday there was a 4 hour wait, which would have overrun into our slot for the shuttle to Downtown and Beale Street...We did see Graceland through the gates and we have certainly now been "Walking In Memphis"... |
