Was engaging in my favorite hobby of Curating Lists (specifically in this case of the states I have visited and the ones I have yet to visit) and was wondering…which state would you all most like to visit that you haven’t been to yet and what city/area/site would you want to go there for?

Lil Ugly Mane - volcanic bird enemy and the voiced concern

Lil Ugly Mane is one of my favorite rappers, and this album was such an insane curve ball when it came out. It was like all he made was super noisey Memphis horrorcore rap and then all of a sudden he writes this bitter sweet dream pop album that makes me want to cry but is so simple and beautiful. It’s just such a wonderful album that’s so vulnerable. My boyfriend says that it’s awesome AND it’s beautiful.

I absolutely think that everyone should give this record a shot. I’m so fucking excited to see where lol ugly mane goes next with his sound because I am loving this whole wild ass journey.

Memphis, Tennessee - From A Local

Original Post Link / Original post date: September 11 2023

Here is everything I enjoy doing in Memphis as a local to Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis is an interesting city to visit with a lot of history while currently in a season of growth and healing. I also did include some museums that relate back to the history of Memphis for anyone who is visiting and wants to know more about it. 

Memphis Museum of Science & History (The Pink Palace) – Information Page

This has always been a favorite of mine in Memphis, ever since I was a kid. It’s so fun to walk around. There’s Memphis history and southern history In a beautiful museum. The gift shop is a bit overpriced FYI. [11/02/2023 Add.] A good thought of warning that there is a Civil War section with grotesque, realistic wax statues of amputations and Civil War medicine, so… Keep that in mind. If you want to hold your food down.

National Civil Rights Museum – Lorraine Motel – Information Page

Go. Go to this museum. This is one of the most important museums you could visit currently. If you go to one museum in Memphis, go to this one. This is Memphis history. This is the history of a city that was born of holding your head up and moving forward. 

The Children’s Museum of Memphis – Information Page

This is another fun museum! I went when I was… you know, a children at one time, and I remember vividly enjoying it. I would recommend this is if you have a young restless child. If you have an older child, go to the Pink Palace.  

Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid – Information Page

Look. This is a fever dream and I beg you to go. I cannot explain the trip I feel with this being the largest bass pro shop in the world while being in Memphis, Tennessee, on the Mississippi River, in a Pyramid. They have a whole bowling alley. 

Memphis Brooks Museum of Art – Information Page

I have been to this museum a few times and I have loved it. It is a very nice museum. In my opinion, it Is one of the better Southern art museums in terms of covering ancient to contemporary art. 

Huey’s – Website

I like their queso. I’ve been to many Huey’s locations and I have had a good experience at all of them. Just be careful if you go when Memphis is playing. It’ll probably be busy. Or any other football or basketball game. 

Central BBQ – Website

Central is great. Go to it. 

The Art Center – Website

This is my art store! If you are an artist, I would suggest popping in and supporting a Memphis business. [11/02/2023 Add.] If you’re driving and not flying, I would suggest stocking up a little here. They have great prices on certain things like Golden Acrylic Paints.

Memphis Zoo – Information Page

I think if you grew up in and around Memphis, you know this place like the back of your hand. It’s wonderful. It is one of the best Zoo’s. End of sentence. The Memphis Zoo is beside the Brooks in Overton Park and they have events for halloween and the winter holidays. I am partial to Zoo Lights, for the winter holidays, where the zoo is covered in lights and certain exhibits are open. 

Stax Museum of American Soul Music – Website

Slave Haven/Burkle Estate Museum – Website

Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum – Website

Blues Hall of Fame Museum – Website

The Cotton Museum at Memphis Cotton Exchange – Website

Dixon Gallery & Gardens – Website

Two places that are overhyped in my opinion: The Rendezvous and Graceland. I grew up here. No local could care about either of these places. If you want to go to Graceland, that’s fine. None of us particularly care, but that’s okay. The Rendezvous on the other hand… don’t. Go get some real barbecue and experience the city. Not whatever monstrosity this is. Central BBQ is great. Tops is pretty good. Don’t go to The Rendezvous unless you want subpar BBQ. Do not. 

Also, we have a whole IKEA. If you’ve never been and want to go… we’ve got one! It’s big. Bring your walking shoes. 

I really just wanted to make a post about where I’m from and put that out there. I love this city. Aside from that, I hope you’re having a good day/night wherever you are, and most of all- 

Happy travels! – Annie, the Crosseyed Cricket.

This was one of my favorite parts of touring the museums. The room I was in the longest. Just admiring every suit. 😍

November 2023: Casino Bound

My queen wanted to go to the casino down in Mississippi & I went with her. I don't gamble but I didn't want her to be down there alone without backup:
