Memphis: Overton Park
Overton Park is a large, 342-acre (138 ha) public park in Midtown Memphis. The park grounds contain the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, Memphis Zoo, a 9-hole golf course, the Memphis College of Art, Rainbow Lake, Veterans Plaza, the Greensward, and other features. The Old Forest Arboretum of Overton Park, one of the few remaining old growth forests in Tennessee, is a natural arboretum with labeled trees along trails.
The property, once known locally as Lea’s Woods, was purchased by Memphis on November 14, 1901, for $110,000; it was located along the city's eastern and northern boundary at that time. Overton Park was designed by landscape architect George Kessler as part of a comprehensive plan that also included Riverside Park (later M.L. King Riverside Park) and the Memphis Parkway System. The planning began in 1901, and Overton Park was established in 1906. The park is named in honor of John Overton, a co-founder of Memphis. Overton’s name was selected in a competition to name the new park conducted by the Evening Scimitar, a local newspaper; the three choices in the voting were Memphis founding fathers Andrew Jackson, Overton, and James Winchester. The official naming occurred on July 25, 1902.
The Brooks Museum is a privately funded, nonprofit art museum located in Overton Park. Founded in 1916, the Brooks Museum is the oldest and largest art museum in the state of Tennessee.
Overton Park also includes the famous Shell theater, where Elvis Presley gave his first paid concert on July 30, 1954.
Memphis College of Art is a small, private college of art and design located in Overton Park. It offers Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Fine Arts, Master of Arts in Art Education and Master of Arts in Teaching degrees.
Overton Park Zoo (now named the Memphis Zoo) began in 1906 when a resident of Memphis couldn't keep his pet black bear in his backyard. He had it put in a pen in the park, which attracted many people, inspiring the idea to place more animals on display. The Memphis Zoo is now one of the largest in the United States, attracting 1 million visitors per year. The zoo houses two pandas, who are local celebrities, as well as three polar bears, brought in to the Northwest Passage exhibition which opened in March 2006.
In 2008, the Memphis Zoo was ranked #1 Zoo in the U.S. by TripAdvisor.com. In independent surveys commissioned by TripAdvisor, the Memphis Zoo scored a 90 percent overall satisfaction score, almost 25 percent higher than the national zoo average.
The 9-hole Overton Park Golf Course is located in the southwestern part of Overton Park. It is a 2,222-yard, par 34 courses with 3 sets of teeboxes for different levels of golfing experience. Built in 1926, the Abe Goodman Golf Clubhouse is a Tudor-styled, brick building with a patio.

Get Down Memphis! featuring Beale Street bike night
Featuring the Bike Night on Beale Street, Greenbelt Park on Mud Island, Itta Bena Restaurant, and the Rum Boogie Cafe.
Bike Night on Beale Street
Wednesdays at 5 pm 11 pm, weather permitting
Money talks and its saying that Beale Street is Tennessees number one tourist attraction based on revenue. No other tourist attraction in our great state even comes close to making the cash register cha-ching like the music, food, dancing, drinking and fun on Beale Street. Plus theres always interesting events like Wednesdays Bike Nights. In peak months, youll see as many as 1200 hogs and choppers lining the street! Its a sight like no other. And after the bikes hightail it, remember that some Beale Street clubs stay open to 5 am.
Greenbelt Park on Mud Island
If youre looking for a place to walk, run, picnic or rollerblade on the river, Greenbelt Park is the spot. The 5,000 residents on Mud Island take advantage of this riverfront park which extends 1.5 miles from its parking lot on the south end to the parking lot on the north end. Perfect views of the Mississippi River with barges and boats rolling by. Youll also see fitness classes, yoga groups and sports teams and lots of dogs (on leashes) hanging out in the park.
Itta Bena Restaurant
145 Second Ave at Beale above BB Kings, 901-578-3031
Valet Parking offered on Second Ave just South of Beale
Itta Bena is an amazing restaurant on the third floor of BB Kings Blues Club. It may be located on Beale Street but its far away from the maddening crowd! This exclusive restaurant is designed in the manner of the speakeasies of the 1920's and features an unmarked, discreet entrance. Itta Bena combines upscale Southern contemporary cuisine with a Delta influence. The food and ambiance are top notch. Wednesdays local chanteuse Dianne Price plays piano and they offer a special 3-course dinner for $40.
Rum Boogie
185 Beale Street, 901.528.0150
Eat. Drink. Boogie. Repeat. Wise words as seen on the side of Rum Boogie Cafe. Since 1985, Rum Boogie Café has been a cornerstone of Beale Street offering great food, great music and a heck of a dance floor 7 days a week from 11 am until 2 am! And yes, they have a killer selection of rum ahoy Capt Morgan!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Memphis is located along the Mississippi River in southwestern Tennessee. The estimated city population in 2017 was 652,236, with a 2017 metropolitan population of 1,348,260 including adjacent suburbs and counties as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. The city is considered the anchor of West Tennessee and the greater Mid-South region, which includes portions of neighboring Arkansas and Mississippi. Memphis is the seat of Shelby County, the most populous county in Tennessee. As one of the most historic and cultural cities of the southern United States, the city features a wide variety of landscapes and distinct neighborhoods.
The land of present day Memphis was first discovered by Spanish conquistador Hernando DeSoto in 1541 with his expedition into the New World. The high bluffs protecting the location from the waters of the Mississippi would then be contested between the Spanish, French, and the English as Memphis took shape. Modern Memphis was founded in 1819 by three prominent Americans: John Overton, James Winchester, and future president Andrew Jackson.Memphis grew into one of the largest cities of the Antebellum South as a market for agricultural goods, natural resources like lumber, and the American slave trade. After the American Civil War and the end of slavery, the city experienced even faster growth into the 20th century as it became among the largest world markets for cotton and lumber.
Home to Tennessee's largest African-American population, Memphis played a prominent role in the American civil rights movement and was the site of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 1968 assassination. The city now hosts the National Civil Rights Museum—a Smithsonian affiliate institution. Since the civil rights era, Memphis has grown to become one of the nation's leading commercial centers in transportation and logistics. The city's largest employer is the multinational courier corporation FedEx, which maintains its global air hub at Memphis International Airport, making it the second-busiest cargo airport in the world.
Today, Memphis is a regional center for commerce, education, media, art, and entertainment. The city has long had a prominent music scene, with historic blues clubs on Beale Street originating the unique Memphis blues sound during early 20th century. The city's music has continued to be shaped by a multi-cultural mix of influences across the blues, country, rock n' roll, soul, and hip-hop genres. Memphis barbecue has achieved international prominence, and the city hosts the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, which attracts over 100,000 visitors to the city annually.
