A River Runs Through It

Memphis and our river has been on the news lately. I wanted to educate my readers that might not be familiar with either......ENJOY!!

Please click on the pictures for a better view....

 We are known for our giant swans. This time of year, they nest near a giant island made out of mud....

Shortalls are necessary to stay cool in this humid weather....

Memphians are wise and efficient. GO GREEN. We do not use unnecessary items, fuel......or wheels.....

Most people know Beale Street for music, entertainment, eating and drinking....but Beale and Riverside Drive is for our Kayakers....

As long as Memphis has had the Cotton Carnivals and then the BBQ Fests....It has been at the location in the above picture. Every year the people complain about the heat......we found a solution!!!  Should be cooler this year!!

The trolleys have really boosted the economy for us so we added pontoon boats this summer!!

Should be easier to get to the concerts on the island of mud!!

The downtown cops on bikes are now branching out into cops in kayaks....

The cities that forked out the money for the fancy"sprinkler" parks received great reports in the travel magazines so Memphis created their own spots for tourists to "cool" off....complete with benches!!

I would just make sure you have had your immunization shots!

Please tell all your friends and family about Memphis and my blog if you need any other travel tips!!
