Welcome to
Memphis, birthplace of the blues. Beale Street, from which the Beale
Street Blues got its name, is still very much a primary center of blues
musicians and a Mecca for blues lovers. The Congress of the United States
honored the blues and Beale Street by declaring Memphis Home of the Blues.
In the 1950s, another revolution hit the world of music, - Elvis Presley,
the King, created his own version of rhythm and blues. Today, years after
his death, he is virtually idolized by thousands who flock to Memphis to
visit - or just look at - Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley.
Music is very much a major tourist attraction in Memphis. But
Memphis has hatched many other world famous successes. Holiday Inns, long
a familiar landmark along American highways, was founded and headquartered
in Memphis.
The world famous (for other reasons) Peabody Hotel is another "you
just don't want to miss" attraction. You'll never forget the sight of the
Peabody ducks marching on their special red carpet to the strains of a
John Phillip Sousa march to the water fountain in the hotel lobby.
Memphis is home to the Grizzlies NBA basketball team. Tickets can
be hard to come by - especially at the last minute. If you would like to
watch one of their games while in Memphis,
Ticket-Lady.com can probably get
your tickets at a pleasant price. Or, if you already have tickets but find
you will be unable to use them,
Ticket-Lady.com would be most happy to buy them from you. You can be
sure there is someone out there looking for those tickets.
Memphis is the South - and you'll love it!
