Tour of Memphis, Tennessee

by SP on July 14th, 2007

Instead of a weekly tour spread out over the week, I thought that I would give you a few things to do so that you could print it out just in case you wanted all the information in one place. So lets start with the Stax Museum of American Soul Music!

stax museumCelebrating great Memphis soul music made famous by Otis Redding, Booker T. & the MGs, Isaac Hayes, the Bar-Kays, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Earth, Wind & Fire, and others. Soulsville U.S.A. - where it all happened in the 1960s and 1970s.

cranberry Second on the list is the Memphis Zoo. And you simply have to stop by and see Cranberry. She’s their beloved Polar Bear and you also won’t want to miss the Keeper’s Diary. You can go here to see what’s happening with all the animals.

elvis graveAnd you couldn’t visit Memphis without checking out Elvis’s grave. Have you ever seen anything so elaborate. I guess it’s fitting for a King lol…

And a few more places that I thought would interest you. :)

Corky’s Bar-B-Q You are going to get hungry after all of this touring…

Pink Palace Museum I’m going to let you check this out all on your own ;)
