Memphis: The City
Downtown Memphis has in the last few years started to come back to life, at the cost of losing some of its old cotton-era buildings. The central streets parallel to the river are steadily acquiring new hotels, restaurants and stores. Beale Street on downtown's southern fringes is the liveliest area to stroll around, with Sun Studio nearby and the Civil Rights Museum just south. The huge Mud Island on the river itself merits half a day, while Graceland , ten miles out, should on no account be missed.
