At that point, I'd be asking "What idiot picked this place for a conference?" :-)
Mrs WBill went to Memphis ... probably 16-18 years ago. Did all of the touristy things, ate well, had a good time.
Glad she did, sounds like it's off the list now. :-)
It was a Navy conference; for reasons known but to Congress, the sea service’s personnel command is headquartered at the Naval Support Activity in Millington, TN, just north of the city.
BBQ is still great in Memphis, and so is the music—just don’t wander too far from Beale.
