DOWNTOWN.   A stroll down historic Beale Street is a must for visitors to Memphis. The one-time headquarters of W.C. Handy, "Father of the Blues," Beale Street is still home to a plethora of budding street performers, wild dance clubs and relaxed listening rooms. An easy place to spend an entire weekend, it offers museums, theaters, restaurants and nostalgic shops in addition to an array of musical entertainment options.   (© 10Best)

Who says you can't get a free ride in Memphis? On the last Friday of each month, you can hop on a special streetcar downtown for a tour through the South Main Historic Arts District. The South Main Trolley Art Tour is free. (from Southern Living)
