Memphis Day I

On our way to Dallas Lauren and I stopped over in Memphis for two days. Here are some photos from our first day.

Photobucket
Were staying at a Days Inn that is not only across the street from Graceland but also has a guitar shaped pool.

One of the reasons we decided to stop over in Memphis was to visit Miranda Powell who 's studio was right next to mine in New York. Miranda goes to the Memphis College of Art and had us meet her at Huey's. They are consistently rated as rated one of the top burgers in the nation and they did not disappoint.

We then went to Sun Studios which is famous for recording Elvis' first single plus many other acts including Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. The tour was actually really good and it was only $10 compared to the $30 it costs to tour Graceland. If your in the area and want to visit a Rock & Roll landmark this is the place.

While waiting for tour to begin at Sun Lauren and I decided to walk around the neighborhood. We stumbled on the Hostess factory. I practically died and went to heaven.
