Memphis Belle looks like it could be cool to see.

I wonder if we can do Graceland, Sun Studios, and Rock n Sould Museum all in one day???
Report Abuse
I doubt it since Graceland has long lines at times. The civil rights mueseum is cool too.

Okay, I've now posted pics here... you can visit my yahoo 360 page and see a lot more photos!
With all the stuff we did at Graceland, no we didn't have time to do the Rock n Soul Museum in 1 day. We did do the Sun Studios in the same day as Graceland. Rock n Soul took about 1 1/2 hours to visit.
We had a great time in Memphis.

Next time see if you can make the STAX studio. It's a great blast from the past and really the memphis sound.
Good luck.

i've been to Graceland a few times, & if your an Elvis fan like me, u will love it, but u can never top goin to a visuual in August. somethin abt. bein where he was, walkin w/ people who also loved the man, holdin the candles seein all the gifts & flowers people spend their time makin each year. i love goin to Graceland, especially in August, but sometimes that humidity can get bad.

I am from Memphis,and thereare LOTS of things to do,and places to see. Memphis is very clickish,but a friendly fun place! Try out the Cajun Bayou Grill, it stays open until two A.M. There is a bar on Poplar avenue called the Belmont Bar and grill. The catfish Po-Boy is very much like an original sandwich from We Never Close in Louisiana.
