Memphis

I have lived in Memphis my whole life. I don't know if it's because I don't like change or I actually like Memphis, but unlike so many of my high school friends.... I am content to live here forever. Here are some of the reasons I love Memphis:
-both our families are here (I like to think our relationships are closer than most)
-Bellevue (for sports and so many other reasons... it will always be home)
-Cheesecake Corner (the best cheesecake you'll ever put in your mouth)
-Jerry's Sno Cone (enough said)
-Shelby Farms (I don't actually go there that often, but I like having the option)
-Memphis Zoo (being a teacher, I get to enjoy it even though I don't have kids of my own...yet)
-Central BBQ, Corky's, Brad's... it doesn't matter. BBQ here is awesome!
-Macon Road Baptist School (I love my job)
-FedEx Forum (I love going to Tiger basketball games and hopefully will soon love Grizzlies games now that AI is coming)
-Memphis bridge (there's nothing like crossing that bridge...that really scares me... to remind me that I'm home)

I know there are so many other reasons why I love Memphis, but I'm drawing a blank. What are your favorite things about this crazy city?

    It's on G.E. Patterson downtown... it's amazing... huge slices of cheesecake for $5.95 or maybe its $6.95... the atmosphere is fun as well. It's a Memphis must!

    Where else besides Memphis can you get such great entertainment just by turning on the news?! I mean, with Willie out for good, this may slow down a bit, but somehow, I think he'll still be popping his head in every now and then!

    *Shelby Farms - I have yet to discover a place like it in Tampa
    *Sun Studio
    *BBQ
    *Free day at the Brooks Museum
