If you are there on the last Friday of a month, head down Main Street after 7pm, for Trolley Night, where there is a lot of live music and some free booze. Just head down Beale to the Orpheum and turn south, and all along Main from the Green Beetle to Central Station, there will be music, open galleries and stores.
And if you are a runner, in December, there is a marathon that goes through St Jude Childrens Research Hospital which is an extraordinary uplifting and moving experience, because many patients and their parents and medical staff will cheer the runners on.

This takes me back many years. My ex from my New Orleans days was a MAJOR Elvis fan, so we spent lots of time in Memphis. Loved BB King's and Blues City Cafe' when we were on Beale. We'd stay at The Peabody for a few reasons. She liked looking through Lansky's and I like the fact that it was right by Rendezvous and AutoZone Park, where I could get my baseball fix. To give you an idea of how long ago this was, Jerry Lee Lewis' place was a Pat O'Briens from New Orleans. Nothing was better than taking a Hurricane down Beale Street. :)

DANGER. Keep your head on a swivel and your hand on your gun. Cops won't be there when you need them and they might railroaded you. Disabled veteran violently attacked at home by the son of a Memphis fire chief with a weapon with no serial numbers retrieved by cops and courts then railroaded. Shelby County Tennessee vs Eric Green 15-00233. Local news half and falsely reported on the issue. CONGRESSIONAL INVOLMENT AND OBSTRUCTION documented.

Visited Memphis several years ago, had a blast. Beale St is fun, but there is so much more to the city such as Graceland which surpassed expectations and the Civil Rights Museum which is also really worth visiting. Met some really good people there too.

I was born and raised in Memphis. I graduated from Hamilton High School where I graduated in 1962 and went to Memphis State for a while before I took a job at Commercial Credit Corporation for a couple of years before I moved to Columbus, Ohio.

I lived at the Peabody Place apartments. Walked to Beale many times. : ) Plus the trolley was right at the door. Back then the Peabody Square wasn't the HQ for ServiceMaster though, and had a Jillian's as the main tenant. : )

It's good you were upfront about the crime rate in Memphis.
That's the main reason I don't go there except to visit family.

Go a couple of blocks south of Beale Street at night and you will get a different kind of cultural enrichment.
