Walking Tour of the University of Memphis West Neighborhood
Every once in a while I get to lead a walking tour of an area of Memphis that is
not Downtown nor on the Riverfront. On September 10, I was asked by Dr. Lauren
Burrow of the University of Memphis Early Childhood program to give a tour of
the UM west neighborhood for her students. We met at the Normal Deport
historical marker by the Norfolk Southern RR tracks, and walk west down Walker
to the Highland Strip, north past St. Luke's United Methodist Church to Midland,
and east back to the center of the campus. There were many sites to see and many
stories to tell along the way. This nice photo collage of some of her favorite
sites was submitted by Dr. Burrow - thank you!

Bridge Walk Photos from Marc Schwartz!
If you really want to see what some else sees on the BRIDGE WALK, then
look at
these wonderful photos submitted by a young photographer with a
marvelous eye for "seeing" other things that some of do not "see". Marc
has come on quite a few tours due to his enjoyment for Memphis History
and is now sharing some of his photos with us through this web site.
Thank you, Marc.
So, the next (and last of 2013) BRIDGE WALK is Sunday,
November 10 at 2:00 p.m. Meet us under the beautiful Magnolia tree in
Crump Park. Crump Park may be reached by driving west on Crump towards
the bridges or north on I-55. The last exit in Tennessee before you
cross the Mississippi River is Exit 12C (Metal Museum Drive). Attendants
will be in the drive and parking lot to direct you to secure parking.
Bring a camera!
And, while you are in the French Fort neighborhood,
visit the National Ornamental Metal Museum and Chickasaw Heritage park,
just south of Crump Park.
