Memphis, Tennessee
Sitting on the banks of the great Mississippi River, Memphis has always been a very important part of the South and America. It was a major cotton hub, hardwood shipping center and well into the 1950s, the mule capital of the country. It was a stronghold during the American Civil War and has an unfortunate history of also being a major slave trading center.
Memphis retains an Old South feel while achieving prominence as a major city. Memphis now depends on Fortune 500 companies as well as retaining its popularity as a transportation center. FEDEX has its worldwide headquarters there as does International Paper and Schering-Plough pharmaceuticals. The city is home to seven colleges or universities along with an equal number of good prep schools.
Memphis Attractions
Attractions in Memphis are varied. Very few music fans will miss a trip to Graceland, Beale Street and the Walk of Fame. Museum goers will want to stop into the Brooks Museum along with the Civil Right Museum and the Pink Palace.
Although Memphis has a couple of pro sports teams, it's the University of Memphis Tiger basketball team that gets the most popularity. In choosing your Memphis apartment, you may rest assured that wherever it may be, it will be close to a park and other activities.
Hot Areas
The downtown area of Memphis is still undergoing revitalization. Although attempts are in earnest, it still hasn’t managed to become a desirable neighborhood for living. Midtown is currently the ‘edgy’ area and is being resettled by artists and musicians.
There you will find galleries and trendy shops along with restaurants and bars. Collierville and other more northern suburbs provide ample housing. So, depending on your interests, you should think about selecting your Memphis apartment based on your lifestyle requirements.
Out and About at Night
When it comes to dining, think barbeque first and foremost. Memphis is famous for it, and there are competing establishments everywhere. The Rendezvous is a long time favorite but the yearly barbeque festival along the river will give you a chance to try a number of different styles.
Memphis is large enough that you’ll also find chain steakhouses and other style restaurants. Music rules for Memphis nightlife. Home to the blues, there are also deep roots in soul and rock n’ roll music. Beale Street is the place to start.
Many clubs pipe their music live into the streets, and the purchase of a single wristband will gain you entry into most of them. In Midtown, you’ll find a more varied group of clubs for entertainment and every suburb has a range of quiet to higher energy type clubs. None of the will be far from your Memphis apartment.
