I LOVE MEMPHIS!!!
I had the best time there these past few days; I hated to come home. I have never in my life met such friendly, polite people. I almost had a heart attack when the counter girl at McDonald's said, "Hi! What can I get you today" instead of mumbling some vague greeting like I normally get here in the Baltimore area. And they even say thank you!!!
And when you try to merge, people let you in.
And they smile at you!
And people in elevators nod and say hi!
I'd always wanted to try Sonic and I finally got to! I'm hooked on their strawberry limeade!
There are casinos nearby where I won $1,300 on the slot machines!!
Beale street! Wet Willie's!
A cool concert venue shaped like a pyramid!
The Peabody hotel and the duck march! And the fact that, although the Peabody lobby was packed with people who wanted to see the ducks, no one push or shoved and everyone was well-behaved!
Ribs! Oh, my, the Ribs they have there!!!
Many, many thanks to ms_elephante2k1! Your directions to Rendezvous Ribs were great; we would have NEVER found it on our own. That was one of the best meals I've ever had, I kid you not. I may just have to have some of those ribs Fed-Ex'd up to me
And the atmosphere was great, too. Thanks again!!
