Question: Jodi Strom asks: We'll be taking a road trip in April.  We plan to visit Memphis, Nashville and Louisville, but due to time constraints, we only have one day in Memphis.  What would be a good itinerary for a one day visit?
 
Answer: Blogger Michael Navarre, a Memphis enthusiast, says: Graceland is a must, down in southwest Memphis, for a tour of Elvis’ trapped-in-the-sixties home.  After that, head downtown for lunch at the Rendezvous restaurant for some good Memphis-style barbeque or Huey’s (a local hamburger place that makes the world’s best burgers and onion rings).  Spend the rest of the afternoon in the downtown area with its amazing view of the Mississippi River, where you can find Sun Studio’s (where Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, U2 and others recorded), go to see the Peabody Hotel and the ducks in the lobby fountain, and take a ride on the trolley to see the rest of the downtown area.   Even if you are not a fan of baseball, Memphis has one of the best minor league parks in the middle of the downtown area. If the Redbirds are in town, catch a game is a great way to spend part of your afternoon or evening.  FedEx Forum is also in the downtown, home of the Memphis Grizzlies if basketball is more your thing.  If you’re up for some nightlife that evening, check out Beale Street (also downtown) for live music and clubs. We hope you enjoy your trip. Do come back and tell us about it so we can share your tips with others!
