Top 6 Architectural Buildings in Memphis, Tennessee (TN)
Memphis is a pilgrimage for those wanting to visit the birthplace of the blues, of soul and of rock 'n' roll. On Beale Street, W.C. Handy put down on paper the first written blues music. Elvis, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash all recorded at the historic Sun Records, which is now a museum. Graceland, the second most-visited home in America, welcomes visitors from around the world who yearn for a peek into the life of "the King." Beyond the music, Tennessee's largest city also offers much more. It has more sunny days each year than Miami, and combines southern tradition and hospitality with modern amenities. You'll enjoy great dining (be sure to sample the barbecued ribs), art galleries and exciting nightlife.

We were in Memphis to see the Beach Boys. We had not been to the Orpheum in many years. It is a beautiful building and has been updated and well kept. Long ago the rows were so close together that it was difficult to even get down them, but that problem has been fixed. Great sound system, good drinks, friendly people, and close to several hotels. Many folks simply walked to the show and back to their hotel We would go to another show there!!

I have been visiting the Woodruff-Fontaine house for several years now, and each time I visit I discover something new. The staff is always changing up their exhibits, and they have different kinds of events going on all the time. I have literally been to visit during every kind of weather from bright & sunny to dark & dreary. It is extremely enjoyable no matter the weather! This is a great place for all those who love history, fashion, and unique experiences. I highly recommend.

5. Crosstown Concourse
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 37 reviews
Crosstown Concourse is the product of nearly five generations of innovators, dreamers, and builders. It's the product of those who, in 1927, saw the unorthodox potential in a 12-acre parcel of land on the outskirts of Memphis, off a narrow road called Cleveland. It's the product of the generations who built its walls, populated its halls, and created communities – inside and out – with their labor and an unpsoken creed: "Together, we are better." Today, it boasts 13 restaurants, 8 medical institutions, half a dozen retail shops, a sprawling contemporary arts organization, a boutique hotel, and more, Crosstown Concourse is a uniquely public space. Visitors are invited to study, hang out, meet, or play, just as much as we encourage them to participate in the entertainment, food, and art of the building.

Gloss Nail Bar Concourse has exceptional service and professionalism. I have received the absolute best manicures and pedicures from this salon. My nail tech Ann is a God-send. She specializes in natural nails and I get gel polish when I have them done every two weeks and that often times can be pushed out longer. The staff there are always pleasant and friendly, and they know you by name. That alone speaks volumes to me. I look forward to my bi-weekly appointments, they are very relaxing!!!!
