Well, we're back to give you another post my journey to the city. I want back there a couple of years ago, but
never really took any pictures. Now, I have a handy dandy camera and
took some. Remember this is during my grandmother's wake and
funeral.
Black families put a lot of time and
effort into death of a loved one. There is a lot of political aspects
that I never want to be involved in and I tried my best to stay out
of that shit. I did learn I have some half black half Filipino
cousins. That's cool. They were these really smart little girls
with musical backgrounds.
I am still an hour away from Memphis at this point, but the traffic is already starting to pick up.

Just outside of Memphis: The streets have a brown color to them, For some reason a lot of the main streets have a brown tint to them. I really have no idea why, I know I can look it up. Memphis has always had these brown concrete streets.

I got side
tracked to a shopping center called “The Columns” in that town
outside of Memphis. It is a very busy place. And, I did the
Greek/Roman vibe of their sign.

Tennessee depart of transport: Yeah, they painted their own logo on the side of a highway. Okay.
I am in Memphis. This is the Memphis Pyramid. It is a arena for sports teams, but I've never been inside.
Hell, I remember
when they were building it. Interestingly enough, they don't use it
anymore as a sporting location. What a waste.
From
the Wiki Page, ((The Memphis Pyramid has not been regularly
used as a sports or entertainment venue since 2004. The facility is
currently being converted into a Bass
Pro Shops "megastore" including shopping, a hotel,
restaurants, a bowling alley, and an archery range with an outdoor
observation deck at its apex. ))
If you look closely, there are people working on the top of it.
