Memphis in June!

You've heard of Memphis in May (http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/Content?oid=oid%3A40285)? Well this is/was Memphis in June. Flew in on Monday nite for MK work related stuff. Because downtown Memphis is apparently not a safe place to be out alone as a woman (in the evening), I've spent much more time inside than I'd care to admit. However, during the day, I've had the opportunity to meet and spend a lot of time with some really amazing women who've given me so much good information to take back to work. Because of the 'safety' issue, I haven't had much opportunity to explore the town until tonite when Marie & Angie took Randall & I to the Flying Saucer (http://www.beerknurd.com/) and then to the Blues City Cafe (http://bluescitycafe.com/) where we had some amazingly good pork ribs. I took a few pictures inside the cafe and then when we left, right outside on Beale Street, we saw more motorcycles than I've ever seen in one place...and that includes the time RH and I went to Kerrville/Fredericksburg for the Honda Motorcycle Rally!!!!!! I am not kidding you...there were motorcycles all up and down the street and they were still coming when we walked away. We walked and drove around for a little bit, exploring, kindof, and saw the Peabody (http://www.peabodymemphis.com/) and the Orpheum (http://www.orpheum-memphis.com/) as well as a few other historic places. It's been way fun and I would really love to come back and spend some time here w/RH doing some serious exploring. FYI - while here we've eaten at Lenny's (http://lennyssubshop.com/) and Sam's on Main - and both were definitely good eatin'. I'll be going on tomorrow having made some good friends and with a lot of useful information. Thank you to all who took their time and energy to spend with us - you were all great and very helpful.
