Beale Street, Memphis TN - July 20

Rating - 5.0

Its only 2 BLOCKS LONG....that is it....I expected something like Austin, TX....but its REALLY SMALL.....

I do like that you can buy beers on the 2 block stretch and walk around with them (open container)...and beers are really CHEAP......

And lets just say the area around it is like being on the South Side of Chicago.....it can be SCARY walking back to a hotel that is just 2 blocks away.....

During the day it is DEAD....but on a Tuesday night it WAS FUN to walk around....live music everywhere with NO COVERS....but it was not lively/hopping.....

Maybe when college students are back in town.....but that is too young for me....or maybe if an NCAA Tourney game was there - basketball stadium is right on it.......

But otherwise it is NOT WORTH a visit just to go here....
