Here’s some photos I took on a trip to Memphis a while back. Beale Street is known as the “Home of the Blues” and, with Sun Recording Studios a few blocks away, a significant site in the birth of rock ‘n roll. Listed on the National Historic Registry, it is a well-cultivated tourist area that retains much of its original flavor. We arrived late on a summer night after a long day’s drive. But not so late that we didn’t enjoy some fine music and Southern cuisine—if you savor catfish and pulled pork.
