Walking in Memphis

I just returned from Memphis, TN – home to Blues, Jazz, BBQ and of course the king of rock and roll, Elvis. This was my second trip to Memphis in two years and even though South is not my home, there’s something downright homey about the city. Everyone is so friendly and all smiles. And the food!!
