Memphis Tourism I had soooo much fun! I'm so happy I decided to go. Learned so much about a city that's not even that far from where I live and yet I had never been.
Y'all make sure to come with a bullet proof vest & a survival kit! The crime/killing are no joke here, come for the BBQ & run for your life as Soon as possible! No, it's NOT like any other city. Crime here is on a whole another Level
@@mr.hardbody1144 I've been there several times almost every year since 2013. Crime is real in almost every big city, but I am glad this video focused on the positive and painted an accurate and beautiful about the heart of Memphis.
eloise picoteiro I grew up in Frayser (Georgian hills) and attended Frayser high school. I know what Memphis was like, in a very personal way. It was a beautiful, vibrant city, at one time. Overton square, downtown Beale street, Overton Park concerts at the shell, the glamorous pink palace, Lakeland amusement park. Absolutely Awesome! Now? You guys managed to turned it into a virtual, third world banana republic. You guys removed the historic statues that offend you, by selling to a private entity, bypassing Tennessee historic laws, just to appease a minority demographic, in a blatant attempt to circumvent a law, that you feel doesn’t apply to you, for whatever reason. Absolutely appalling. Double standard at the very least. I’m so glad I got to see Memphis for what it truly was, (in the past tense) a remarkable gem and not this current iteration. When you guys figure out a way to drive out minority induced, violent behavior, I may visit my old neighborhood and see if my childhood home has not been turned into another crack house. Enter at your own risk.
Ahh I live in Memphis. I fell like not a lot of people know about it so I love this video. Finally the positive even though we do have the negatives too. Because once you get to know it there are some really fun stuff to see in my hometown. Only thing she forgot was Graceland, Shelby Farms, Greyhound Museum, Slave Haven, and the birthplace of Aretha Franklin.
It's just the people who live in a shell and don't broaden their horizons that doesn't notice a lot of good and fun things that we do have in Memphis. Of course like any other major city we have the negatives, but there are a lot of positives also.
- Adore Addiii - last time I was there my truck got broken into at the Wolf Chase mall. They broke the damn windows lol didn’t take anything but a pair of old boots I had and a hat wasn’t much they could have gotten. But Jackson, TN is getting pretty bad too
I'm a transplant, but have lived in Memphis for 10 years. I run, and have been out on the streets at 6 am, downtown, to run, and have never felt unsafe. EVERY city has some sketchy parts of town, EVERY SINGLE ONE. Ask the locals and they'll tell you what neighborhoods to avoid. Admittedly I don't do Beale Street after about 7 or 8 pm. Overton Square is awesome, free concerts at the Levitt Shell are great, the food is spectacular, and to find the really good spots, ask the locals and hit up places like Maciel's taco shop, Aldo's pizza, Alex's Tavern, Evelyn and Olive, or Rizzo's Diner.
Rich Tutko 😂 THANK YOU! I've been wanting to say this, but there are too many negative comments for me to respond to so I don't bother. I really just want to say....I live in ATLANTA. There are places here I would never go in million years. But then there are also incredible places. As you said, that's every single big city in America. You've got your good parts and bad parts. 🤷🏽♀️
I live in Memphis. Right in Midtown [middle] and it is such an up and coming area. Cooper Young and Overton Square are on either sides of me. So many cool restaurants and cute little shops. Plus we have so many theaters in the area!
Yeah no one in Memphis cares about elvis thats why every thing as far as a block down the street trashy why but its the opposite right down the street by whitehaven high
It’s actually common for a lot of people to not know their own city even if they’re lived there for decades. Most people just know the basic areas for survival like the supermarket, schools and doctors office
Lmao this is my favorite comment. The crime in Memphis is VERY bad. If you say it isnt, just wait until it's you. Statistically, you'll be robbed within a week. I've been robbed and so has my mom in law and my grandmother. My mom in law got robbed at gunpoint and my grandma was beaten with a bat for her tip money. 3 separate occasions and 3 different generations.
I think this was a really good video! It definitely showed Memphis in a positive light. I was born and raised in Memphis. I've lived in Memphis most of my adult life with the exception of job transfers and active duty time. I think the list was pretty good although there are a few more places that could've been mentioned as well. What's disturbing to me though are the negative, discouraging comments about Memphis from MEMPHIANS! While Memphis is crime ridden like many cities, why discourage people from bringing revenue into the city by giving the negative comments? I'm sure we've all heard or been taught if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all. Sheesh people!
Dynesha McClain Thank you! I just shake my head every time I see the same old tired comment being posted on my video. EVERY city has its good sides and bad . I'm from Atlanta and could bash it all day if I wanted to only focus on the bad parts. 💁🏽♀️
@@HeyAshleyRenne I actually live in Atlanta now due to a job transfer. I wasn't looking forward to moving here initially. But it's definitely grown on me. I guess when you're from a place, you tend to take its uniqueness for granted. When I was still living in Memphis, I visited a few of the places you mentioned in your video. But there's definitely so much more to see and do there that I never thought about before.
I live in Memphis since i was 7 so I've only been to the civil rights museum, downtown, the prymaid, concert hall and the mall XD now I feel like I barely know Memphis!😂 anyway thanks for making my home sound amazing!
We just spent one month blogging and vlogging about Memphis. We fell in love with the city... and more than that, the people. You live in an awesome place! We will be back!!!
That's amazing! That's how I feel about my own hometown of Atlanta. I've lived here since I was a kid and I still don't know everything there is to do here. Maybe I should make a travel guide for Atlanta :)
One don’t get car jacked Two enjoy Beale st. But don’t get mugged oh and refer to # on Three don’t ride around 240 or 40 great chance your car will be shot at real good chance Four watch local news before doing anything in Memphis
Lol I'm the same way about my own hometown - I don't know half of the attractions where I live. It's different when you're a tourist coming to a new city and you're looking for stuff to do.
Omg, thank you. I was raised in Memphis and I’ve seen it’s good, bad, and ugly sides. This was a great video about a good city that needs it’s positive sides shown more often than its crime.
I absolutely LOVED living there from 1991 - 1993. I was manager trainee for one of the big 3 corp's there. I just came back from a business trip there and my heart is broken how it not only failed to fullfill its potential (there was talk that it was gonna be big brother to Atlanta!) but what a downturn it's taken. The town reeks of desperation in so many ways.
Omg my son would love seeing the ducks at the Peabody! Do you think Memphis is doable for a weekend trip? I'm pretty sure I would spend most of the time eating LOL
LOL! And yes, totally doable for a weekend trip. I was only there for a few days. think your son would love it. TIP: Get there at LEAST 30-45 minutes before the duck march. There were so many freaking people lined up for this.
Yes take him to mud island its a nice little water park and restaurant there Shelby farms has zip lining animals fishing canoeing its alot of stuff kids would enjoy
#1 - Don't drive anything but a rental car. You'll thank me later. #2 - Make sure you have all your Concealed Carry permits in place, and are indeed CARRYING! #3 - Don't look left or right; a "mean mug" could get you shot at. #4 - Avoid any and all social-political conversations; 70% of the population can't even put together a complete sentence. Hope this helps. Get your AWESOME barbecue and LEAVE while you can . . . ya'll!
Just because someone has a different opinion or perception than you, that doesn't make them a liar 😊 You might not like Memphis, but I had a good time.
Bolt_Kyng But that's the point lol. This video is to help tourists find things to do in the city. I made this video to share my experience as the tourist I was and for the tourists who want to visit. For us tourists just passing through, we just want to come, have a good time, and then be on our merry way. And honestly I'm surprised so many Memphians are trying to scare people away - tourism could help improve the city and possibly help combat some of the very issues you're highlighting.
@@HeyAshleyRenne it's not that we are trying to push people away think they are trying to warn people more so than anything so they won't come here not knowing about what they are about to get in the middle of. Yes we do have fun things to do that alot of people here don't know about. Shelby farms is very fun they have re modeled downtown completely and added so many new things.they remodeled mud island and they have a nice little water park and pool area that people have no clue about.im glad you enjoyed your self and i love your video
Lived here for a majority of my life and the best thing about memphis is the food which is probably insanley unhealthy but taste great none the less. Also lived in Tx and Cali and they just seem to have better energy.
Wow simply amazed...how can Graceland not be on this list! Local for 45 yrs now and I wouldn't want to be any other place! Memphis definitely has a bad rap but make smart choices and u shud be just fine! PS Peabody is to dang expensive!
Jesus My King Victory Every city has good and bad parts. I live in Atlanta and I could just as easily say that. Same with new york. And LA. And Miami 💁🏽♀️ You find the good parts and enjoy those.
M L Washington 👍🏽 every city has a positive and negative side to it. I experienced the positive parts of it and decided to share since people always seem to only focus on the bad parts. I enjoyed Memphis 😊
Laney Hammond and White Americans usually have no clue how dangerous The United States is for people of color. And yet we still live here and go about our business every day. Danger exists everywhere. It doesn't stop me from driving to the grocery store and it certainly won't stop me from driving to Memphis.
Mikaya Moorleghen certain areas are. Ive never had anything happen to me but there is a lot of robberies, shootings and sex trafficking. Just dont be oblivious to your surroundings! Of course crime is everywhere but i knew a couple who came here to look at homes and the first day fhey were there, their car was broken in. Just be careful. Memphis is actually very beautiful and theres a lot of culture here, dont let it scare you but dont be oblivious to it either! I hope you enjoy my hometown!! It is one of a kind.
Number one to visit is Graceland, after that the Memphis Zoo, and then the Memphis Botanical Gardens...lunch at the Gardens. Yeah, they have the Civil Rights Museum. Also, Sun Studios and Stacks are a thought as well. You can visit Mud Island once the river subsides. Been there done that!
Lol I lived here for 27 yrs and hadn’t had one problem!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe you shouldn’t be going into alleys and dealing with strange people. Now run TELL THAT😂
We love Memphis! There is so much no matter what time of year it is! We just fine she’s up filming at the zoo(amazing!) and are searching for the best bbq 🍖 in the city! 👏 👏 👏
I live in memphis. Soon as I seen the title sadly I already knew what the comments would be, some city slander & they didn't disappoint lol 😂😂😂. Just don't be a idiot, be aware of your surroundings, stay out of obvious danger areas like north & south Memphis, then you should be fine here
we just came back from TN! 3 days in Memphis, 1 short day in memphis ...we went to Rock n Soul, Beale Street, Cotton Museum...next time we'll have to stay overnight to get a longer stay....
Memphis is the best place for wanting to know more about Elvis & MLK and many more people and we the og of soul & blues we have many more music genres and history.
Great job with your video! I’m a transplant here from Illinois. There are lots of things to do here year round. I loved your outfits! Where do you shop?
People are funny. Theyll find a video like this, and watch it just to type usless negative comments nobody asked for. Thats the internet for you. Great video. There's alot cool things in Memphis to do not on the list
I usually chuckle and roll my eyes anytime I see a notification pop up on my phone about a comment being left on this video. Thank you for calling the negative trolls out. Anyway, yeah I'd love to come back to Memphis and experience more. I was only there for a couple days. Lemme know what I missed!
@@HeyAshleyRenne Hey Ashley Renne No problem! I have a few suggestions since im from the 〽️. 1. Cooper-Young district have a few restaurants and shops I believe you'll love. Two restaurants off top I know you'll love. "Imagine Vegan cafe" is the best vegan food I had so far. And the "Beauty shop restaurant" the food is good but also the atmosphere. It use to be an old beauty shop and have the classic hair dryer chairs as seats lol dope place 2. Graceland. To my suprise Im interested in staying at the new hotel they just built called the Guesthouse and the new entertainment complex they built with restaurants and shops. Been in Memphis all my life and never had interest in doing something in Graceland. That enterprise been investing Millions lately in new attractions and have plans for more. So check it out soon. 3. The Zoo is nice if you're into Zoos. It have its own events and actually been topped ranked. It's Egyptian themed 4. There's alot of events happening this time of year in Memphis.Best time to visit is in April-Jun. One event is Africa In April (actually ends today) very year a new country is celebrated. The set up is with alot of food vendors, performances, african merchandise, parade, and so on. "Memphis in May" is a month full of events every year. Just search that itself and more than enough things to do will show. Trolley Night happens on the last friday of the month. Food, arts, and shopping. www.gosouthmain.com/trolley-night 5. More food lol Arcade Restaurant, Majestic Grille, Staks Pancakes, list goes on.. I'll stop, theres some more things buy I hope you enjoy your visit next time!
Troy Wilson Africa in April sounds dope!! I wish I had known about that. Yeah Memphis is incredible. So much to do there and from what I could see, it's only getting better. Thank you for taking the time out to share this list with me. I appreciate that!
They also have a highschool starting next year a movie theater soon and a gym also a apartment and a library area with restaurants and like a art place
As someone who lives in Memphis, it's very interesting that people only ever consider visiting places in the city. There are so many places around in the neighboring suburbs that, in my opinion, are way more interesting. Maybe I'm just a bit jaded about people hyping up tourist-y things in this city.
And that's how to make the most of your time in Memphis! We hope everyone has the chance to visit Memphis soon!
Memphis Tourism I had soooo much fun! I'm so happy I decided to go. Learned so much about a city that's not even that far from where I live and yet I had never been.

@@HeyAshleyRenne Memphis full of killers and liars. I will never move back to Memphis. All I can say 🏃
there's not many good things to say about memphis.

If you’ve lived in Memphis for more than 3 years you know ITS BORING AS HELL
True.....unless you like to see ducks walking or dogs running. Wow....hold me back.
You made Memphis look good wow
Alexis Markham I had a great time! So I just shared my honest experience 😊
As a Memphian I endorse this list.
You can also go across the bridge & visit the dog track. Good food & gambling. Tunica isn’t that far away either for my casino lovers
Rene 1111 Too late. Tunica is closed. LOL They might have one casino left.
Eunice Hart They closed the Resort. What other casino did they close down? I usually go to Gold Strike
One don’t get car jacked
Two enjoy Beale st. But don’t get mugged oh and refer to # on
Three don’t ride around 240 or 40 great chance your car will be shot at real good chance
Four watch local news before doing anything in Memphis
The local news sometimes go overboard. I live heard a long time and 90% of the crime is personal.
I live in Memphis and didn’t know they had half of this .😂😂

Jesus My King Victory Every city has good and bad parts. I live in Atlanta and I could just as easily say that. Same with new york. And LA. And Miami 💁🏽♀️ You find the good parts and enjoy those.
@@HeyAshleyRenne absolutely agree with you🤞🏽
Yaaaaaaassss the queen is back!
Wyatt K. Ha! 👑👑 I'm baaaaack
Now I wanna go to Memphis ❤️
Thanks for a positive spin on Memphis.
M L Washington 👍🏽 every city has a positive and negative side to it. I experienced the positive parts of it and decided to share since people always seem to only focus on the bad parts. I enjoyed Memphis 😊
People have no clue how dangerous memphis really is 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Laney Hammond duhhhhhh but can also be the funniest places
Laney Hammond and White Americans usually have no clue how dangerous The United States is for people of color. And yet we still live here and go about our business every day. Danger exists everywhere. It doesn't stop me from driving to the grocery store and it certainly won't stop me from driving to Memphis.
Laney Hammond is it really that bad ? I’m scared I’m going in August
Mikaya Moorleghen it’s really not don’t let her scare you.
Mikaya Moorleghen certain areas are. Ive never had anything happen to me but there is a lot of robberies, shootings and sex trafficking. Just dont be oblivious to your surroundings! Of course crime is everywhere but i knew a couple who came here to look at homes and the first day fhey were there, their car was broken in. Just be careful. Memphis is actually very beautiful and theres a lot of culture here, dont let it scare you but dont be oblivious to it either! I hope you enjoy my hometown!! It is one of a kind.
Number one to visit is Graceland, after that the Memphis Zoo, and then the Memphis Botanical Gardens...lunch at the Gardens. Yeah, they have the Civil Rights Museum. Also, Sun Studios and Stacks are a thought as well. You can visit Mud Island once the river subsides. Been there done that!
This was sooo thorough and diverse but also quick to the point to not lose attention. I'll definitely be checking these places out!
Looks awesome. Thanks for share your tipps. 👌 Our next stop is memphis. Cant wait to get there 😁
AMAZING! Subscribed ;)
Jan Klaeui Awesome! Thanks for subscribing ❤️❤️ Hope you enjoy my videos. 🎬
The view on the bridge is great
Good going during the day.
As a native, I’ve always said that the best thing about Memphis is the water🤤 (Aquifer)
Oh wow...I grew up in Memphis! I’m also vegan...did you eat at Blue Nile?
Ahhh!! Blue Nile was on my list of places I wanted to try but it was closed at the time I wanted to go there :( It's an Ethiopian restaurant right?
Okay I've been in Memphis all my life.. Stay for like 2-3 days its great stay any longer don't.
i’m going to Memphis tomorrow!!!💗
Cool for sure!!!
Memphis is home to having 9 shootings in 26 hours
You so right theres no hiding it
Lol I lived here for 27 yrs and hadn’t had one problem!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe you shouldn’t be going into alleys and dealing with strange people. Now run TELL THAT😂
You seem like a misiable person. There are crime everywhere. I been living for 35 years and nothing happened to me yet and anybody else I know.
We love Memphis! There is so much no matter what time of year it is! We just fine she’s up filming at the zoo(amazing!) and are searching for the best bbq 🍖 in the city! 👏 👏 👏
Midtown is where it’s at!! Overton Square and Cooper Young! We lived in Central Ave for years and just moved. Definitely miss it!
I live in memphis. Soon as I seen the title sadly I already knew what the comments would be, some city slander & they didn't disappoint lol 😂😂😂. Just don't be a idiot, be aware of your surroundings, stay out of obvious danger areas like north & south Memphis, then you should be fine here
we just came back from TN! 3 days in Memphis, 1 short day in memphis ...we went to Rock n Soul, Beale Street, Cotton Museum...next time we'll have to stay overnight to get a longer stay....
My home away from home I’ll be going for my 16 time next month
Memphis is the best place for wanting to know more about Elvis & MLK and many more people and we the og of soul & blues we have many more music genres and history.
Lol I live in Memphis very close to down town so I can hit this up when ever
Been to Memphis several times and enjoyed each time as a matter of fact I really enjoyed a must see
If you don’t live here it’s easy to love.
Got me a suite on Beale Street this June!
How was the potholes?
Memphis gang i love my home town which is memphis
Great job with your video! I’m a transplant here from Illinois. There are lots of things to do here year round. I loved your outfits! Where do you shop?
LaShea Bridges Thank you! I rent clothing from Rent the Runway. Most of what I wore in the video came from there.
This has so many things I didn’t find online! I can’t wait to go
#16 Dodge shootings!
I'm from Memphis and the best place to stay the whole time is a police station.......for your own safety.
Memphis is a drag.
That French Guy C’est si dangereux que ça ?
😂😂😂🤣😂😅😂the police station isnt that safe but the crime downtown has slowed down alot this summer tourist should be cool until they get to 3rd street
People are funny. Theyll find a video like this, and watch it just to type usless negative comments nobody asked for. Thats the internet for you. Great video. There's alot cool things in Memphis to do not on the list
I usually chuckle and roll my eyes anytime I see a notification pop up on my phone about a comment being left on this video. Thank you for calling the negative trolls out.
Anyway, yeah I'd love to come back to Memphis and experience more. I was only there for a couple days. Lemme know what I missed!
@@HeyAshleyRenne Hey Ashley Renne No problem! I have a few suggestions since im from the 〽️.
1. Cooper-Young district have a few restaurants and shops I believe you'll love. Two restaurants off top I know you'll love. "Imagine Vegan cafe" is the best vegan food I had so far. And the "Beauty shop restaurant" the food is good but also the atmosphere. It use to be an old beauty shop and have the classic hair dryer chairs as seats lol dope place
2. Graceland. To my suprise Im interested in staying at the new hotel they just built called the Guesthouse and the new entertainment complex they built with restaurants and shops. Been in Memphis all my life and never had interest in doing something in Graceland. That enterprise been investing Millions lately in new attractions and have plans for more. So check it out soon.
3. The Zoo is nice if you're into Zoos. It have its own events and actually been topped ranked. It's Egyptian themed
4. There's alot of events happening this time of year in Memphis.Best time to visit is in April-Jun. One event is Africa In April (actually ends today) very year a new country is celebrated. The set up is with alot of food vendors, performances, african merchandise, parade, and so on. "Memphis in May" is a month full of events every year. Just search that itself and more than enough things to do will show.
Trolley Night happens on the last friday of the month. Food, arts, and shopping. www.gosouthmain.com/trolley-night
5. More food lol Arcade Restaurant, Majestic Grille, Staks Pancakes, list goes on..
I'll stop, theres some more things buy I hope you enjoy your visit next time!
Troy Wilson Africa in April sounds dope!! I wish I had known about that. Yeah Memphis is incredible. So much to do there and from what I could see, it's only getting better. Thank you for taking the time out to share this list with me. I appreciate that!
@@HeyAshleyRenne No prob! 👍🏾
They also have a highschool starting next year a movie theater soon and a gym also a apartment and a library area with restaurants and like a art place
A movie theater...a gym....and a library....man , hold me back.
Memphis featured in TIME magazine’s annual list of 'The World’s Greatest Places'(july-Aug, 2021)
You pay the Magazine and you can get your backyard to be in the top 10.
Yessss 901, love my city!!!!! the best food places you could go to and be satisfied every time!
Crosstown concourse is one of my most favorite places in Memphis
YASS
As someone who lives in Memphis, it's very interesting that people only ever consider visiting places in the city. There are so many places around in the neighboring suburbs that, in my opinion, are way more interesting. Maybe I'm just a bit jaded about people hyping up tourist-y things in this city.
