There is a lot to offer in Memphis, TN where "southern hospitality has not been lost in the cosmopolitan growth of the Mid-South."  Both home of the blues and the birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll, Memphis has much to offer for all ages!  With mild winters and gorgeous spring days, Memphis sits on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River in southwestern Tennessee.

Memphis is filled with attractions and surrounded by neighborhoods that appeal to every lifestyle.  The downtown area is known as a cosmopolitan area with a variety of art galleries, antique shops, restaurants, bistros, excellent dining all of which are just a short stroll or trolley ride away.  Exciting attractions include the NBA Memphis Grizzlies and headlining concerts at the FedEx Forum, the local Memphis Redbirds baseball and events at the AutoZone Park and the infamous Beale Street with more than 25 nightclubs, shops and restaurants providing entertainment for millions of visitors each year.  Each May the Beale Street Music Festival brings in three days of headlining bands and musicians including Aretha Franklin, new pop-star Fergie and many more! Other famous attractions include the Orpheum Theatre, Memphis Symphony Orchestra and the National Civil Rights Memorial Museum.

Another booming area of Memphis includes the Mid-Town area; boasting of "broad, tree-lined avenues bordered by stately homes, bungalows and apartments."
