The perfect family itinerary for a weekend in Columbus, Ohio

Weekend Getaway: Walkin’ in Memphis

June 29, 2012 by Karen Dawkins 14 Comments

She sat across the table from me and declared she was from Nashville. Interested that two Tennesseans were visiting Florida I leaned in closer and smiled. “I’m from Memphis.”   “Oh.” It hung in the air like an accusation. “I was born there actually. Spent most of my life there.” But she said she was […]
