We attended the Stars on Ice show on May 31…read more The attendants were pleasant and efficient; the seating was okay (I expect close quarters for a popular show), but the handrails were a safety obstacle. Several of them were very shaky, and there were some that felt like they were about to come up out of the floor. For people with mobility challenges, this could present a real obstacle, and if one ever came out, several people could be hurt. This needs to be addressed.

I refer to it as the Memphis Redbird ( much like the Bluebird in Nashville) where songwriters and song lovers alike can congregate and mingle in marvelous original music. Home to the Memphis Songwriters Association monthly meetings, Mark Parsell has been and is acting president of the longest consistently run grass roots songwriters association in Memphis that was founded by Estelle Acton (the AX in STAX) along with several others in 1973. The all ages events (with some occasional exceptions) is run just like a house concert where listeners are allowed to tip whatever they can afford ($5 to $10 per person suggested by me) and bring their own drinks or donate to the house beer/wine fund. The shows are always early 7-9 which is perfect for after dinner dates or an early rendezvous before a big night out on the town. Check out South Main Sounds!!!!!

Got an email from the museum stating they offer free general admission on every third Thursday of…read moreeach month. Took advantage of that and visited with my mom, son and niece. I hadn't been since I was a kid, so I was excited to visit again. For the most part, a lot was the same as I remember and I was excited to show the kids. There were a few new things too, which was cool. We didn't get a chance to do the planetarium ($5 on the free third Thursdays) nor the giant screen theater (also $5). Next time, I for sure want to take my son inside the planetarium because it was my most favorite thing as a kid. Hopefully, he'll love it too. As an adult, the museum definitely seems a bit random and there's not a whole lot that's interesting (unless you're a huge science/history fan). Overall, the kids enjoyed themselves and that's all that matters.

This is a wonderful, local festival that is held each fall. This year's festival is September…read more25-26. It is held on the grounds of the Cordova Community Center which is a historic area in the heart of "old Cordova." It has maintained it's small town feeling and is a fun event with families or just with a girlfriend. I like it because it is small, easy to manage and you always find lots of unique items. I go with my mom and we get a pronto pup, glass of lemonade and we browse all of the booths. I always find seasonal, holiday items and hand made jewelry. The weather is usually great this time of year and it is a good outdoor event.

My wife and I absolutely love the orpheum. We try to catch any show that might interest us. It was…read moreour anniversary. My wife got us tickets to see Gary Owen because she knows how much I love seeing him. The show was absolutely great and she picked some very good seats. I did feel like he cut the show just a little short. There's always that one drunk person that wants to yell out from the crowd. I think it was starting to irritating. What can you say about the orpheum? That hasn't already been said. It's a very nice historical place. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars. Is because like everyone else, they take advantage of people on concessions. I realized back in the day. This is the way places made their money. It's a little different these days. They make plenty of money on the shows. My other small complaint is the seating. Although its way better than Minglewood Hall, the seats are just too close together. I'm a big fella, and it's just very uncomfortable. Overall, they put on great shows and the place is very nice. I definitely wouldn't let the small things stop you from going.

Memphis does have a theater district & stars on the sidewalk in front acknowledging performers…read more The Orpheum Theatre, a 2,308-seat venue that opened in 1928 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Touring Broadway productions, Ballet Memphis, various concerts, comedians, a summer movie series, a family series of educational programs, and local cultural & community events such as Memphis in May, International Blues Challenge, and special Elvis Week events take place here. In 1890, the Grand Opera House opened on the corner of Main & Beale streets, and was billed as the most classy theater outside New York City. Vaudeville was the main source of entertainment at the time, featuring singers, musicians & magicians. The "STARZ" are actually names in the Orpheum Theatre's Sidewalk of Stars, a tradition honoring artists who have performed here. The names, found on brass stars embedded in the sidewalk at Main & Beale Streets, commemorate performers from the Orpheum's history, much like the Hollywood Walk of Fame,

Cooper Young Festival. How I love you so. You might be getting too big for your britches though…read more This year was by far the busiest I have ever seen it. We got there about noon and parked .81 miles away from the entry point on the south side by the Tabernacle. When we left at 4:00 or so, the streets were lined miles further away than we were. It was really kind of crazy how many where there. I am sad to say I didn't find a damn thing other than food and beer to buy this year. Not a damn thing. I already have all of the shit that peaked my interest. My wife did want a painting for my kid, but hesitated and said she would come back for it. When we got back, it was gone and she was bummed. We talked to the artist about commissioning a new piece, so maybe. It was the best piece of art in the festival. I should have just bought it myself when we liked it. I'll be back next year, hope someone with some nice art will tempt me. Just a heads up, snack wise.... Stick Em' food truck and Butterific cookies for the win no matter m what here. For real.

The parking was bad. I think we parked almost 2 miles away. So many booths yet not many food options. Guess I expected a lot of options. I did however find something great, a place called Wild Bills. The place sold sodas in tin mugs with unlimited refills. We bought the barrel mug for 15 bucks and we probably refilled it 6-7 times. Easily got my money back with those refills. Overall we had a good time.
