Great video, and thank you for raising awareness about carriages and the reasons to avoid using them.

I've heard a lot about Memphis, Tennessee even though I've never ever visited the city, Memphis will always be the city for music. Each cities has their own collection of activities and things to do around the city. Overall the video is absolutely outstanding and awesome places to visit. Dr King has a great respect and admiration for Mahatma Gandhi especially the moments for fighting independence.

Bass Pro Pyramid: Houses Ducks Unlimited museum as well. Hunting and Fishing seasons in the US have strict limits that help species survive and are modified year to year as necessary to the animals and environment. Hunting & fishing licenses fund preservation of natural habitats. 66% of people who live in the city of Memphis are below poverty level and may never have been able to afford to go to a wild area, and maybe they aren't off work on Tuesday at 3pm to go to the zoo on free day. Additionally, Bass Pro, Cabela's, hunting & fishing - it's all totally a thing and there are other Bass Pros like this, I'm thinking particularly of the one in Grapevine, TX but there are many. Thanks for visiting Memphis!

this feels so different but feels so weird seeing you out in the world again doing videos

[davidgroves]

Fabulous, well worth waiting for (were you tempted to "steal" the nice toiletries in your room?)

Mud Island River Park: It's actually a scale model of the Mississippi River from its tributaries to the Gulf of Mexico with the streets of the river towns inlaid along the banks. The water level in the model reflects the current river level. It overlooks the Mississippi River. You can get to it on foot on the bridge over the monorail.

I could easily travel with you. Nice video!

15:34 actually The Civil Rights Museum is open 6 days a week; Closed Tuesdays. Also Beale Street doesn’t always have a cover. Typically weekends and busy nights otherwise you’re good. Or get there early.

[fishlocker.]

You go girl. I thought I lost all favorites a year ago. Still at it I see. It's been years since I've seen you. Someday I'll find the time to post a few more vids. Cheers.

I hate that you didn't make it to the top of the pyramid
Amazing to watch the sunset

[JanineAlexander-tzpq]

Thanks for the advice. I'm taking my 70 year old mam and was feeling worried. I'll still be wary and keep my wits about me.

When I visited Beale St, it was free😉

[debbypramberg]

[vic_the_roman]

[tetekofa]
