Memphis, Beale Street & Group Tour

On Tuesday we spent the day in Memphis on Beale Street, "Home of the Blues".
Today we went to the Harrah's casino and later had dinner at Paula Dean's buffet.........delicious!
 
 
Breakfast at Polly's on Beale Street


 
BB Kings Blues Club

 
Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King was assassinated as he stood on the balcony outside room 306, on the motel's second floor.


 
Strolling along Beale Street.


 
Good lunch at Dyers, over 100 years on Beale Street. Hopefully the grease wasn't that old.



 
Our tour guide, performer and local historian with Carol and Pam. He was super!
 
 
On the Backbeat Tours bus. We recommend them if you're coming to Memphis. Very good time.
 
Gibson Guitar factory and store. Made an offer on a Les Paul.....guess it wasn't enough.

 

 
One of the many fine eating establishments on Beale Street.
 
FedEx Forum, home of the NBA Memphis Grizzlies. Games 3 & 4 were being played here during our stay. No, we didn't go.
