I remember getting into a long argument on another forum a year or 2 back about an article I posted that claimed Beale Street was the state of Tennessee's #1 tourist attraction. The only thing brought up that could possibly topple that was Smoky Mountains Nat'l Park. Don't kid yourself folks, year over year, almost nothing beats Beale Street. More development is coming and it will only get bigger. Every city across the country wants or has tried to build a Beale or Bourbon, but the history, grit & mystique is required to back it up. Not going to happen.

I just wish that the city would have never torn down the homes/pubs and blues halls further East on Beale. Never experienced seeing them myself, because I'm way too young, but from what I've heard, they added a lot of character and soul to Beale.

greatshot of the ball park. that should be in some of the PR info on the city. beautiful colors and great features seem to burst out to the eye. that green and light yellow brick work or pavement is super. it really captures so much energy for this section of the entertainment district downtown. again, kudos to the photographer.

I'm anxious to see how much lower Southwest's fares will be priced here, and over all activity here by Southwest due to a number of factors, including the fact that AirTran only operated 4 flights from Memphis a day, Nashville is a target city for Southwest and they have a large operation there, and the fact that Delta already has such a large presence in Memphis. Those facts just lead me to believe that Southwest won't have a very large presence here and that fares won't drop much lower.

any new on the promised decision on the chisca hotel project? i understand that it is under secret negotiations w/ the city council. to me, legally questionable, if money, in part, is public and to be co-mingled w/ private funds. any information on the marriott addition and the hilton in the south district? what about the indigo, i think their past 6 years for having completed their project.
i don't know why anyone would want to tie down a project w/ the promise that 15-25% of it has to be given to minority black or women firms, especially if they do not have the expertise to do the work. some of the announced projects are beyond schedule. |
