Going to Memphis

[over the mountain]

i owe memphis a fair shake bc the first time through was kinda unfair.

me and a buddy are driving cross country to california. thsi was before smart phones so no google maps or yelp etc. just good ole fashioned man instincts.

we stop in memphis to get dinner. we stopped at the first bar we see. it didnt look like much from the outside but inside was nice and it ended up being a fairly high end steak joint some grizzlies go to. steak was alright.

we then drive around the city looking for night life. it was kinda scary. streets were dark. main roads had zero traffic on it (9 pm on a week night). no pedestrians. occasionally you would see out of the corner of your eye a random crack head scurry in an alley way.

we stumble upon the main bar district. it was abuot a block and lite up with neon signs and what not. me and my buddy looked at each other and decided to keep on driving.


seemed like my kinda town and def want to go and give it a real weekend visit instead of the drive by i did. i think we were just tired and tunnel visioned on the road trip

blues, bbq and deep rooted depression are my 3 pillars.
