Another Round Please

When i was in high school, Downtown Memphis was the place you went to get in trouble. Concerts and drinking were the only avenues of entertainment that seemed to be available. In the past 14 years Memphis has matured out of its junior high awkward body and grown into a Man. Trolleys, Restaurants, Redbirds Stadium, Memphis Grizzlies- saving the best for last the South Main Art Galleries. Sure we still have acne (what city doesn't) but i think its a keeper. Downtown memphis has a culture that coming into it own. Our Food and Music are woven in history: served and performed nightly and enjoyed- always.

Cheesecake Corner is a great example of Memphis' resurgence.
Unique Restaurant that serves more types of cheesecake than city hall has politicians.
If you really like her- finish the date at cheesecake corner.

Old bridges are curious things-
This one seemed to suit me fine today

  1. Nice work, Dave; I like "Blues Railway" especially. The plaster is cool too- you can hardly tell it's watercolor. You're making me homesick...and hungry. I may have to compare the painting to the original come August :)
