Well, I've been giving one chance and signed a lease at 1914 Poplar. It's refreshing to know that I'll be heading home, but terrifying that I know what I'll be doing to support myself. Nothing much to do except to trust the it will work, as I attempt to Take care of business for my family. Will I become a guide at Graceland or dealer at a Casino in Tunica? who knows? I know Albany is already behind me, as it was fated to be when I signed that lease for Mom at the parkview. Contract progamming appears to be the past, and I have no idea as to future, which is how it should be. I'll leave you with something more uplifting. Now, Grizz or Tigers, Blues or Preds?

Riding in Memphis
since I'm down here for the weekend, I rented a car:
Chrysler 200. And a Bike:
KHS Urban xcape.
I rented it from Midtown bike , which is located on South Main. the owner was little, which is excusable with this ride:
I started out by riding up to Beale and headed east with my pedals 10 feet off the street:
Next was the Sun Studios on Union Ave:
and into Midtown on Peabody:
A stop for Donald Boothby:
I cannot confirm or deny the consumption of Doughnuts. :) Next, let's swing by Mom's Place:
And the levitt bandshell. The Memphis Greyhound Rescue club was having a concert. Elvis is probably turning over in his grave at my associating his name with theirs.
and then I went back west and past the wreck Of Sears Crosstown:
Like almost all tall buildings in Memphis, it's Vacant.
Next up was North parkway:
And back to the river and the Pyramid, the Tallest Building in Memphis (You guessed it' vacant, but soon to become a Bass pro ahop. Yes, that's not a typo)
Confederate Park:
and then onto South Main. I remember when they developed this as a Pedestrian mall in the 70's, My Dad and Uncle David took us down here. At 11PM. Coming to back to Uncle David's in Berclair, we were sworn to secrecy on North Parkway around the Zoo. Looks better now:
Not all old Hotels in Memphis get to enjoy second lives like the Parkview or the Peabody. This is the Hotel Chisca:
Home of elvis' first radio appearance
and this one, name lost to time:
I stopped and lunch at Memphis' oldest pub, the green beetle:
Faded Magnolia, Fried Okra, Catfish, and Collard Greens, Life is good!
