Hi Jamie, Interesting pages on my hometown. Seems like you enjoyed your visit here. :-) The interstates are a bit confusing with all the Nashville, St. Louis, etc. signs. You found your way to Beale St. & Graceland. Well done. ;-) ~Elaine~ | gilabrand Sun Aug 15, 2004 07:06 UTC
In Israel, people go visit the graves of old rabbis. In Memphis, people visit the grave of an old singer... | vonsbaby1 Wed Jul 21, 2004 22:51 UTC
My boyfriend lives in Memphis and i visit often. I'm from philly so its a big change, but i still find the city really cool. Its laid back and the sites are nice. Beale street is cool. I've pretty much been all over, and i enjoy going back for each visit. |
