Honeysuckle Flowers

One thing you can smell real strong here in the south is Honeysuckle. You can find this plant all over. You usually see it growing on trees, bushes, or even fences. If you gentle pull apart the flower from the back, it releases sweeten water that is trapped inside the flower pedals. You can some times see kids with an armful of the plant. Humming birds love to feed from the flowers too.

Important News

This is what is most important to Memphians on Wednesday. Most of the news is about the new Swine Flu and lots of people are getting concerned.

Tin Man

While walking I saw this Tin Man propped up against a wooden barrier. Very creative what someone did. He is made of multiple different cans. Can you identify what cans he might be made of?

Floor Construction

Inside the local Wal-Mart they have built this structure. On top of that, they are digging up the floor inside of it. It was very loud when they were doing this and I hope whatever they are building they hurry up and build it.

Yum Yum Sushi

A great place to order sushi, Kyoto's Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar. They also have wonderful fried rice and it is very affordable.

Rebuilt Motorcycle

There was a guy fixing his motorcycle. From the looks of it it might have been in a wreck. There are bad scratches on one side of the bike. He is always working on it just about everyday, putting new parts on it. It looks to be custom built..

F.G Barton Building Turned Condos

What used to be a business building downtown is now a residential building. Many old buildings are being converted into condos. You can see they added the balconies.

Bee Problem

Everyday I take my son on a walk when I get home. Well we ran into some un-invited guests on our path. Bees.. These guys were not there Monday, so in two days they built this large hive on a branch that hangs over the sidewalk we travel on. I hope pest control moves them some place else by tomorrow.

Cooked Mud-Bugs

Here is what the crawfish look like when they are done cooking and ready for your belly. Most os the meat is in the tail. Some people tear off the tail, eat the meat, then suck out the insides of the main body.

Cook The Crawfish

This is how they cooked the crawfish. They placed a whole load in a cage and drop it down of boiling water and spices. Join the blog tomorrow so you can see those yummy cooked crawfish from the Rajun Cajun Crawfish Festival.

Pre-Cooked Crawfish

Lady In Red

This advertisement is painted on the side of one of the clubs down on Beale Street.

Old Daisy

This is the old Daisy theater on downtown Beale Street. Everytime I see it there is nothing going on inside and it is locked up. Signs outside says it is for rent for weddings,parties, and other events. Across the street is the New Daisy Theater where concerts are held. Maybe I will show you the New Daisy some day.

Bed Of White

I have seen this decorative flower bush for days now. I still can not find the name of these wonderful flowers. I am thinking of cutting a sample stem from this bush and grow my own. To the garden center store I go this weekend.

Pay Phones Becoming Endangered Species

This is a rare sight indeed. Due to so few people using pay phones, the telephone company here is taking them all down. Soon you will just see a pole where a phone once was.

Commercial Developement, Never

On Cleveland Street inMidtown Memphis sits a house. Now this house is in between a building. The only side of the house not facing the building is the front. As you can see they park their truck in the front yard.

Great Food Is Always Never Found In A Restaurant

Some of the greatest food found in is not always in a fancy or fast food restaurant. It can be found at a local truck stop. Fill your belly up on mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, catfish, fried chicken, coleslaw, buttered corn, corn bread. Sometimes I hate to admit it, the food is better then what mom makes.

Have Fun Bungee Jumping

Kids were having a great time bungee jumping at Wolfchase Mall. I think this is attraction will stay for a while since it is so popular.

Lakeland Lake Fountain

At the International Harvester Managerial Park in Lakeland,TN the is a wonderful lake you can walk down. Sit in the shade, watch the fountain spray, and just relax on a warm Spring day. The park is located 6 minutes from Memphis.

Dark Scary Clouds

This morning the clouds over head were very dark. The even scarier part of it was they were low and everything outside was still, no wind. I heard on the news that severe weather rolled across the city last night but thankfully nothing happened in the city.

Confused Graffiti

I drive by this light pole everyday and see the smiley face graffiti. With the question mark over its head I wonder if the person who spray painted it there meant for it to be confused.

Lots Of Pizza

This is the biggest pizza place in Memphis, Incredible Pizza Company. Not only is it all you can eat pizza, inside is a mini golf course, go-cart track, and games of chance. Come when it opens during the weekends. The line to get in can be a 100 people long out the door.

We as humans have thought of just about everything. This is probably one of many vending machines throughtout Dillards stores that dispenses iPods. First swipe your credit, then select what you want, and finally out it comes to you.
