Wow, haven't thought of that in yrs!
Are they still doing it?
The greyhound track in West Memphis if it's still open.
Drank enough whiskey in there in to float a boat, good good times .
I did the Beal Street Musical festival for almost 15 yrs straight, and had some of the best times of my life in Memphis.
Graceland is cool, once, imo .
Platinum Plus is a must, but probably long gone by now...
Grimey azz place nowadays though, much like New Orleans, maybe worse.

Worked with a guy who knew a guy, etc. but one time I got to go up on the Peabody roof and saw where the ducks are safely tucked in for the night in their critter proof little cages. They spend the night in the “Royal Duck Palace” on the hotel's rooftop then these five mallard ducks ride the elevator down and march on a red carpet up to and jump in the fountain of the Peabody's Grand Lobby. May sound meh, but it really is kinda cool to see.

We took our kids to the Peabody to see the ducks and it was pretty cool. It's more of a mad dash than a march when the elevator door opens but very cool. The Peabody is a cool old hotel with a lot of history. Also Memphis has a really nice zoo.

Bringing this to the top.

Anyone been to downtown Memphis, TN recently?

How the strict have they been regarding Covid/mask/etc?

Have not been there since 1984, spent my freshman year in college there. My .42 grade average was an end to my Memphis state days.
Doubt it is still there but silky sullivans was the place to go for a drink. I think it was on Beale street and called the diver down.

Been all over TN recently except Memphis area and they are running wide open with no restrictions. Was not asked one time to wear a mask.

One of the first things we did when we got there was to stop at the Memphis Visitor Center at 3205 Elvis Presley Blvd. An older gentleman in there gave us some excellent suggestions that included BPS and driving by Graceland just to say we saw it. I was never a huge Elvis fan, but you might be, so if you are, by all means make it a part of your trip. Melissa Cookston is a BBQ pitmaster who has appeared on those BBQing shows. She owns Memphis Barbecue Company in Horn Lake, Mississippi. It's just across the state line. If you're looking for the best Memphis BBQ, this is it. We bought a bottle of her spices when we ate there last year, and sadly it's almost gone. We also ate at Central BBQ Downtown in Memphis. It was good, but not even close to Memphis Barbecue Co. Central BBQ was real close to the Lorraine Motel & the Civil Rights Museum which I understand is very good. We didn't have time to go there though.

Memphis BBQ does not sell bbq by the pound. It is not good bbq. Is it right there with Rudy’s here in Texas. Please don’t eat there if you are expecting good BBQ.

Make sure your packing

And stay out of THAT part of town. Three hours will seem like a long weekend in Memphis....
