I believe it moved to NashvilleJust noticed that the Gibson Guitars factory near Beale Street has closed and is no longer giving tours. Bummer.

What about the huge pyramid Bass Pro Shop. Never been to it, but it looks pretty cool. It is just a little north of where I'm staying.
History of The Bass Pro Shops Pyramid | Big Cypress Lodge
Big Cypress Lodge is located inside The Bass Pro Shops Pyramid, but this iconic building has not always been an outdoor paradise. The Memphis Pyramid was originally built in 1991…big-cypress.com

Crazy to think it was a 21k seat basketball arena before.
Arrived Memphis around 7:30. Checked into the hotel, unloaded, and on Beale Street by 8:00!
Looking forward to a great week.

Central is the real deal. And, there’s a location right behind the Civil Right Museum
If you want them for tailgate, I’d call in an order now. 901-682-8200
We like the trolly, but check the hours. They stop running early-ish, depending on how late you want to be out.
We set up the Jack Trice exhibit this morning at the National Civil Rights Museum.
It is at the top of the stairs near the bookstore at the end of the permanent exhibits.
FYI, they now sell tickets for entrance at particular times. That should greatly reduce the lines they had six years ago.
Note: Sorry for the bad resolution, but I couldn't seem to upload the photos any other way. Click on them to make them sharp.

Indeed. Central BBQ is literally across the street from the National Civil Rights Museum parking lot. I may get carryout after I visit the museum myself later this afternoon.

Found another favorite from past trips to Memphis as I drove around this morning.
Cozy Corner BBQ.
It is nothing to look at from the outside, but it is a local treasure. When I mentioned it to our hotel clerk, she said it their chicken is one of her favorites. It is located just east of St. Jude's Children's Hospital. A sign on the door said they are open 11am to 8pm. The owner was walking around and working the room when we went six years ago. I am very much tempted to go there tonight rather than Central BBQ. Ah, the delightful difficult choices of being in Memphis.

Drove by the Memphis Zoo this morning. Very nice neighborhood. Seems like a fun thing to do with kids.
