Beale Street is situated in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee which dates to 1900. It stretches from the Mississippi River to East Street, a distance of approximately 1.8 miles. It is a significant location in the city's history, as well as in music history - Blues in particular.
The first significant stop on our recent road trip was Memphis Tennessee and Jill had reserved a room at a hotel located in downtown Memphis a block (and walking distance) from Beale Street. Two nights and a full day.
It is roughly three blocks and 27 acres of nightclubs, restaurants and shops in the heart of downtown Memphis.
It's a melting pot of blues, jazz, rock 'n' roll and gospel.
Good food too.
Memphis is home to significant construction and redevelopment and has a pile of goodness going for it. If you ever have a notion to visit I'll be posting some tid-bits worthy of consideration....
More about this later
Alley parking
And the late night life explains why this was the first time in my life a hotel provided ear protection....
