I read somewhere about terrific views from the Riverview Bluffwalk or something close to that name, anyone know how to find this?

You are probably referring to Riverside Drive, but I can't tell you any more than that. I used to live in Memphis and am planning on returning, but I'm sure any local can give you directions.

You are probably referring to Riverside Drive, but I can't tell you any more than that. I used to live in Memphis and am planning on returning, but I'm sure any local can give you directions and the proper name. Things have changed in Memphis so much (unfortunately)I'm going to have to get used to it again.
