Memphis, Tennessee

July 27, 2007 @ 10:02

We arrived in Memphis yesterday and immediately went for a stroll along Beale Street.

Beal Streat is similar to Bourbon St. in New Orleans, just not quite as long. Beale St. like Bourbon St. is closed to traffic and features a wide selection of bars and restaurants.

The heat was punishing here yesterday with the temperature flirting with 90 degrees. We had a brief thunderstorm in the afternoon, but it did nothing to take the heat away.

For dinner we went to the most famous rib place in Memphis. It's called "Rendevous" and although it's the most famous in Memphis, we didn't find the ribs as tasty as they were at "Jack's Barbeque" in Nashville.

Having said that, there's really no comparison between Nashville and Memphis when it comes to what the city core has to offer. Nashville was surprisingly quiet and somewhat depressed, while Memphis seems alive. Last night the streets were crowded with people.

Another bonus to Memphis from my perspective is the location of our hotel, the "Doubletree" on Union Street. It's right across the street from "Autopark Stadium" and tonight we plan on catching a Triple A baseball game between the Memphis Rebirds and Sacramento.

This afternoon we're making the trip out to "Graceland" to get sucked into all the touristy bullshit it has to offer, and we're also going to check out the assassination location of Martin Luther King.

Check back Monday and I'll give you the low down on Graceland and a few other things.

In the mean time, here's what kids do for tips on Beale St.

So glad you are all having such a great time,but when you
go to Graceland and if you have one thing bad to say about my
Elvis I will be forced to take you out to the woodshed
when you get home. Sweet Pam
agrees with me. He was the
talent of all time. (I can
hear you laughing you little
asshole.

Loving you

I'm with you, Pam and Juniep. Freddie, you need to be SLAPPED and WHIPPED for your disregard of Elvis. Sure he blew it, but he was exploited by the asshole Colonel Porker and those who supplied him with drugs. Yes, he could and should have said no to the drugs, but he relied on the guidance those people. I hope it turns out that you LOVE Graceland. I know I would... For shame, Freddie! Have some sympathy.

We are off to Memphis for Elvis Week...which will be packed full of activities. We will be accompanying Elvis Priestley, the only
Archbishop in the world paying trubute to Elvis. He has been performing Elvis longer than Elvis or anyone else! So stop by and see some of your Canadian Friends at the Blues City Cafe! Priestley's Schedule will be in the window and you
will see the Bishop of Beale
Street doing the Crawl during the day and night!

Hello, Your site is good and you've got the attitude and the right style. This is why I disagree with the gurus when they say: "The Money Is In The List". The money is not in the list because many lists drive very little traffic with zero conversion. Others drive a lot of traffic with very little conversions. The truth of the matter is that Traffic is King (i.e. traffic that easily converts to sales), and good quality leads drive quality traffic. This is why I provide, free of charge, 250Million Global Optin Leads to all my members, Plus 400,000 Fresh Optin Leads every month, all free.
