re: Is Memphis worth visiting?

We live in Memphis, about .2 miles from Central BBQ. I typically recommend:

-Cenfral BBQ or The BBQ Shop
-Bass Pro Pyramid overlook
-Shelby Farms is awesome if you have kids, bring them to the high ropes course
-Mud Island Park
-STAX museum is great but in the serious hood
-Beale is okay if you want to walk up and down
-Peabody for the ducks of course, on Thursdays they have rooftop parties
-Memphis has a ton of downtown rooftop or basement bars. Some upscale, some grungy and local. We’re grungy folks but a quick google “near me” will help you here
-Flight is delicious
-Rendevouz is just about the worst BBQ you can get
-Pink Palace and Elvis’s House

You won’t have any issues with crime unless you’re seeking it out. Having previously lived in Nola, we feel much safer here.
