The BEST city in Desoto County. Not perfect but nothing is. Follow the 10 commandments and life is good here.

Isaac Hayes was a world-famous musician, song writer, activist and musician who called Memphis…read morehome. He passed away in 2008 and was buried in 2008 in Memphis Memorial Park. It is relatively easy to find, as it is located just across from the Crystal Shrine Grotto. This is one of the more extravagant graves that you will find in the cemetery. The grave is marked by a huge bronze foot stone that has photos of Hayes in different stages of his life and his movies engraved in it. It also has the God's Garden poem inscribed and reads: God looked around his garden And he found an empty place He then looked down upon this earth And found your star He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest God's garden is beautiful now He always takes the best. But when you left. THE BIGGEST PART OF ME LEFT. But thanks for leaving a part of us in KOJO The hardest things always was for you to say goodbye. So I won't either. One day we'll be together again. LOVING YOU WAS THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. My Love, Your wife ADJOWA "MARGARET" HAYES The grave looks pretty awesome and is in great shape. Parking here is very easy. There is parking available right in front of where the plot is located. I know what I want my grave to look like now, when it is my time. Anyway, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. There are many sights to check out in the cemetery including the Crystal Shrine Grotto.

Christopher Columbus Statue

This statue was commissioned by UNICO, an Italian American organization, in 1984. It was moved from…read moredowntown Columbus Park to Marquette Park, the site of the annual Memphis Italian Festival. Since being relocated to the park, it has been vandalized twice and had received calls for its removal. The 12-foot bronze statue depicts Columbus with a sword hanging from his left hip and his right hand over his brows, as if he is looking out yonder. The statue is perched upon a concrete pedestal and sits upon a map of the Mediterranean region made out of concrete. The makers used Google Maps to create an accurate layout of Italy and the surrounding islands. Visitors are encouraged to climb on and around the concrete pieces. You will also find cement/brick benches around the small plaza's perimeter with the names of donor's on it. A flag pole with the American and Tennessee flag on it and another flag pole with Italy's flag, serves as the backdrop to the plaza. Additionally, the park has a lot of plaques, most of them look relatively new. Some of the plaques include the names of gold and silver sponsors, a dedication to Louis Franceschini, Jr, a WWII vet and UNICO supporter, facts about Columbus, Columbus quotes, and regions of Italy. Regardless of the controversy surrounding the statue it is located in a nice little plaza area and is well maintained my UNICO. The statue and it's associated plaza are well done and exudes Italian pride. I am not sure if there will come a day that this statue will succumb to the calls for its removal, but enjoy it while it is here. UNICO has been the savior of many other Columbus statues from across the country, including one that was decapitated in Waterbury Connecticut, and it has been their mission not to give in. Anyway, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. Most victors of this statute will probably be visiting Marquette Park, in some capacity anyway, so that would be a great start to any itinerary that include a visit here.
