You'll find some good stuff in there to do on the weekends. Also, read the Memphis Flyer. It's free and you can get it just about anywhere.

Thanks Tenn I will do that. However my husband will be working most weekend nights so the goings on in Memphis on the weekends will not be something we can partake in. He will be managing a country club and that won't leave weekends open for us, unfortunately.............. |

Just remember that Midtown is Memphis' first and largest suburb. It is the birthplace of urban sprawl in Memphis.

Memphis is big enough that basically any night of the week, you can find bands playing and bars packed. At least downtown and in midtown.

A lot goes on in the summer, but especially in the spring and fall when the weather is cooler (as in, below 105)  |

Sorry, defiepilex -- I missed your post. I love P&H, though with a little one, it's difficult to get down there much. Cool place, though. I know some guys who perform there from time to time.
P&H = Poor and Hungry
