I have been searching for a chair-esque, quasi-bench piece of furniture for months. Type chair bench into a Google search and many, many options flood your visual cortex. Google takes one quite literal these days. If chair : one, then bench : ten. There is no in-between. Booth is even worse. You will wind up … Continue reading »

Deep fried and the perfect coffee companion, eat … Continue reading »
http://youtu.be/EBL09zSiib0 If you thought you had weird neighbors when you were growing up, stop whining. Kids in New Orleans may be awoken by rattling cow bones and masked men and women telling them to stay in school and never ever join a gang – unless they want an early death. Too harsh? That’s not what … Continue reading »
After you’ve tried some Memphis BBQ (or you will be full of regrets!) and taken a stroll down Beale Street, it is time for some rock ‘n’ roll! The Graceland Mansion was home to Elvis Presley himself, and sits just outside of downtown Memphis. You will be dazzled by the amount of authentic Elvis memorabilia … Continue reading »
I LOVE city tours; specifically, walking tours. The benefits? Not only do you burn off those extra vacation calories from delicious local cuisine, but you have an opportunity to explore the city “walking in Memphis,” style.
