Yesterday, I met up with peg and rtb for dinner and drinks at The Rockaway Hotel, which is the new hotel that opened last month on Beach 108th Street in Rockaway Beach. It’s expensive (rooms are $300/night), so I don’t know if they’ll be able to survive. They do have a spa and a few […]

For day one and two, go here. My plan was Slave Haven and the National Civil Rights Museum. But I found out that there is at least one advantage for Facebook knowing your location. While scrolling through Facebook the day before, up popped several Memphis events. And one was the Christmas Parade on Beale Street. […]

This was my second museum on my trip to Memphis, which you can read more about here. The Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum was not on my list but I saw brochures for it and it was on Beale Street, so I figured it would be a good stop. Turns out that even though the […]
