Memphis was my last city on the Southern Journey. Whew! And, as on my previous two tours, if my memory serves me, I just wanted to take it easy and get home. So, I did not actively recruit subjects but took in some Memphis barbeque at Corky’s and traveled to Arkansas to visit a casino and watch NCAA basketball March Madness. It also allowed me to check off a visit to Arkansas.

Like all other cities where you read that physical safety is a significant concern, if you have your wits about you and travel in the daytime, the threat is primarily much ado about nothing. And so it was in Memphis.

Well, I am done here. My journey to the south was memorable, to be sure. Three people bought me meals, which did not happen on the previous tours. Southern hospitality? I learned a lot and met some great people.
