A day in my town

I got to thinking about this last night. If I had a friend who had never been to visit what would I do with them if we had 1 day. Well, to start with, if it was an art friend, we'd have to hit the scrapbook stores and Michael's and Hobby Lobby in Cordova. If not, we'd start out at the Peabody downtown for the march of the ducks. We'd go on top of the building and talk about all the buildings and sights you can see, then we'd take a stroll down Beale Street. Reluctantly I'd go to Graceland if my friend was Elvis inclined. I say reluctantly because it really is over-rated and very expensive. Since we were downtown, I'd have to say maybe the Rendevouz for lunch. That is a pretty famous BBQ place. If we were in the Cordova area looking at art goodies, It would have to be Corky's. I mean it's Memphis folks, you have to eat BBQ! Dinner would be at my place, because I love to cook and would just HAVE to cook at least one meal for my company. Then there are all those out of the way hole in the wall places if we had more time like JunLee, which is in a bad area of town, but yields a good haul on a a shopping trip for women's accessories, like costume jewelry, purses, and hair barrettes, and bands. Then there is midtown. We would HAVE to hit Maggie's Pharm which is an herbal shoppe with amazing little trinkets, and you can make your own bath and lotion potions there. And then there is Wizard's which has incense and nifty bumper stickers. And last but NOT least if it is an art friend we'd have to hit The Art Supply Store in midtown. Now many would say how about the zoo or the Pink Palace? Well, you have a point there. Those are both interesting places, but if you've been to one zoo.... And the pink palace is a super cool place. Especially at Christmas when they have the Enchanted Forrest to go through. But seriously, that place takes a good 4 hours if you don't go to the IMAX or the Planetarium, which of course you would want to do, so that would have to roll over to day two if there was one. Anywho...now that you have taken a walk with me through a day in my town, what would you do in yours? Post it here or on your blog. Inquiring minds want to know!
