Memphis
About 630,000 people.
Memphis sits along the mighty Mississippi River and is a birthplace of blues, soul, and rock and roll music. It is also home to famous barbecue that people travel far to taste.
You can tour Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley, walk down musical Beale Street, and visit the Memphis Zoo to see giant pandas and other amazing animals.

Music History
Memphis is where a young Elvis Presley recorded his first songs at Sun Studio. Beale Street still glows with neon lights and live blues music every evening.

The River
The huge Mississippi River flows right past downtown, and you can watch big boats float by from Tom Lee Park. Sunsets over the water are a favorite sight.
