I'm in the middle of planning a trip there for my parents and me in October. We are huge Elvis Fans. So Graceland is the biggie for us. And this weekend, they open the huge 200k square foot Elvis museum complex across the street from Graceland.

My dad is a huge clasic car buff, and I found a great tour comoany Rockabilly Rides that takes you on a tour in a classic car. Excited about that. We are doing the tour that includes Sun Studios, which is cool since that was on our list of places to go. We are staying at the new Guesthouse at Graceland hotel on the Graceland property.

When I worked for a company one time they had an office in Memphis and so I had a friend that lived there and so every one is telling you great places and there is also a museum right at the Zoo but I can't think of the name of it but for sure she said the Peabody is wonderful and go on the roof top..........also she shops or did we have not talked in a few years at a place on Popular Ave called Jospeh's that is high dollar for Jimmy Choo shoes and other things.............Beale street she said is nice and if its pretty someone is usually playing music outside. I did have to go to a meeting there years and yuears ago and it was around July 4 so I stayed over with my friend and we went downtown to the water and watched the fire works it was beautiful.........but I never saw Sun Records or some of the places mentioned as I was limited on time. It is ok I thought Popular Ave had some beautiful old homes...............it is a long very long street. ENJOY also I would have loved to have gone to the Martin Luther King memorial but I don't even know when I had to go to Memphis if it was open or there.............I just can't remember. We stopped visiting after I left the company.
