I’m on a business trip in downtown Memphis. Wow this place is bleak. Archived Message Posted by ATL on April 14, 2025, 17:03:15 Staying a block off of Beale. Downtown revitalization has not hit this town yet. Really interesting to see the difference between what’s happened in Nashville versus this place. I assume they were pretty much the same size not too long ago. Maybe Memphis was a little bit bigger in the 1990s. Message Thread: I’m on a business trip in downtown Memphis.
