  • Sun Studios, Memphis

    6. Sun Studios

    A busload of old-time rock 'n' roll fans dropped off at Sun Studio is a lot like setting a crate of squirrels loose in an Oh-Henry factory. We're everywhere in there; craning our necks looking at...   more

    There is a very steep hill to get to these. It really is not handicap accessible although some people who are handicap make it down there. In the fall on Sat is the only time when they have a dinner...   more
  • Elvis's Grave., Memphis

    8. Elvis's Grave.

    The house is not ostentatious from the outside, especially by today's standards but the interior is pretty wild though definitely a period piece. Yes, this guy was on some serious drugs. Aside from...   more
  • Pyramid, Memphis

    9. Pyramid

    Made famous for the Tyson Lewis fight, this is a unique sporting arena. Well worth a look or try and catch an event there. I took in the WWE (stop laughing) whiich was good fun. I heard that the...   more
  • Peabody Hotel, Memphis

  • Graceland - Cars, Memphis

    13. Graceland - Cars

  • Memphis Zoo, Memphis

    15. Memphis Zoo

Ducks, Grizzlies and Kings

 We limped into Memphis with a car that would not accelerate, and stopped at the visitor's center. We had to leave our car at the repair shop for several days and during that time we explored Memphis.
