Since moving my office to Downtown Memphis, I've been amazed at how many wonderful places there are in Downtown to live ... and how nice each of them can be.  I've always loved Downtown Memphis ... lived there after Grad School ... but it has matured and grown so much now.  The vacant lot where my friends and family used to go to look at the fireworks on the River on the 4th of July and Memphis in May now has elegant townhome living on them.  The warehouses where cotton used to be stored now has lofts.  The bluff villas (I was so impressed in the 1980s when actress Cybill Shepherd purchased a bluff villa) are a growing complex.  It is impressive.  There is so much happening in Memphis. So why not give me a call and let me help you find a downtown condo today.

The Delta Queen is a legend on America's rivers, especially the famous river towns along the Mississippi, St. Louis, Memphis, Natchez, New Orleans. I worked at the Memphis Queen during college and saw the Queen dock at the mouth of the Memphis harbor dozens of times.  And when I couldn't see it, I could hear the distinctive steam whistle or the old fashioned songs played on the boat's steam calliope.  I saw the races between the big steamers and talked with passengers who became tourists in Memphis.  There was a real feeling of history there. Last year, the Feds forced the historic Queen to cease cruise operations due to potential fire hazards in the wooden cabins, and the Delta Queen was de-commissioned, never to transport overnight passengers again. Memphis seems to get some bad press...

 Mark your Calendars! With the cost of gasoline not showing any signs of a downturn, why not do a staycation in Memphis for the Labor Day weekend? Very few Memphians are aware of the world-class music and cultural festival put on Downtown every year by the Center for Southern Folklore, yet I always meet folks from all over the country and the world who make the Festival part of their travel plans. Come down to Main Street and Peabody Place on August 30 and 31 for the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival, with 5 stages of music, dance, cooking, and storytelling representative of the rich heritage of our area featuring over 100 acts. 2007 festival performers included: Bobby Rush, Jason D Williams, Billy Lee Riley, Kate Campbell, Darrel Petties & SIP, Jim Dickinson, Joyce Cobb, Roscoe Robin...

The national news media is full of flooding stories, but if you want to see some BIG flooding, take a trip to Downtown Memphis and check the Mississippi River. The National Weather services says today is the crest (the highest it will get) at Memphis at over 37 feet; flood stage here is 34 feet, so as you look west toward the Arkansas bank, there is at least 3 feet of water over the delta lands as far as you can see, until the levee holds it outside of West Memphis and Marion.Here is a shot i took this morning from the Mud Island River Walk Park parking area, and the same scene taken a few weeks ago when I was downtown.
