Off to Memphis tomorrow

[KamaAina]

for an activism training, so not much free time, but still...

Hotel is near Beale St. :bounce: Training site is near the Bar-B-Q Shop. So there's two of the bases covered right off the bat.

Not sure I'd be up for Graceland even if there were time. What else?

but I rather enjoyed it a few years ago.

The Belz Museum of Asian and Judaic Art is located at 119 South Main Street in the former Goldsmith's Department Store, just one block west of the Peabody Hotel and is accessible from the Main Street Trolley line. Within walking distance of great shopping, dining and Memphis' own Beale Street, the museum is located in the heart of Downtown Memphis. Visit and discover.
