I sat back and relaxed, totally contented. Rubbed my belly. Drank a glass of ice water to wash it down, slid off my high stool chair and waddled out the door with a smile on my face. What a day. :dance

Dewey 'Daddy-O' Phillips Dewey was a famous Memphis DJ, played the first record of Elvis on the radio. People were calling the radio station asking if Elvis was white or black. He answered that the vocalist attended a certain High school. That told everyone he was white, Memphis was segregated at the time.

B.B. King A true music Legend.
 
Many years ago I went to the original Gus's in Mason, Tn.. I liked it. So, I was expecting to to like it downtown. I didn't. Might just be me.

I might go back in a few months and try the white meat. I may have came on an off day.

I did like the wall art, but I came for a tasty lunch meal.

The Pier, at one time the down town hot spot. Packed every night. Now empty. It seems Memphis can only support one happening place at a time.:)

The park in front of Harbor Town, perfect for a picnic and watch the Mississippi River just roll on by.
