Get Down Memphis! The National Ornamental Metal Museum
National Ornamental Metal Museum
374 Metal Museum Drive
901-774-6380
The National Ornamental Metal Museum is the only institution in the United States devoted exclusively to the preservation and promotion of fine metalwork. Unlike ordinary museums, it isnt just a place where art is displayed; its a place where art is made. At the Metal Museum you can see works of art, see artists work, learn the craft and craft the art. The Museum also has incredible outdoor event space, ongoing exhibits and classes open to the public.
Chickasaw Indian Mounds
Chickasaw Heritage Park
Across from the Metal Museum youll see some huge hills. Those are actually mounds. About 1600 AD, a thousand or so years before foreign explorers entered the region, the warlike Chickasaw Indians controlled the bluffs. These Indians came to be known as Mound builders, for these massive mounds they built that overlook the Mississippi River. After the French and Indian War in 1763, England gained control of the bluffs although the area was Chickasaw by treaty. The Indians, French, English, Spanish and new Americans coexisted along the river trading and skirmishing until Tennessee became a U.S. territory in 1790, and then a state in 1796. Although this land legally belonged to the Chickasaw Indians, the new settlers would eventually take it over. In 1818 the Chickasaws relinquished their northern territory, including the land that would become the City of Memphis.

Places to see in ( Memphis - USA )
Places to see in ( Memphis - USA )
Memphis is a city on the Mississippi River in southwest Tennessee, famous for the influential strains of blues, soul and rock 'n' roll that originated there. Elvis Presley, B.B. King and Johnny Cash recorded albums at the legendary Sun Studio, and Presley’s Graceland mansion is a popular attraction. Other music landmarks include the Rock 'n' Soul Museum, Blues Hall of Fame and Stax Museum of American Soul Music.
Memphis is the second largest city in the state of Tennessee and the second largest metropolitan area in the state after Nashville. The state rests in the southeastern portion of the United States. Memphis, with a population totaling more than 653,350 as of 2013, is also the county seat for Shelby County. The city's claims to fame include Graceland, the mansion Elvis Presley lived in during his later years. Maybe more importantly, Memphis is considered by many to be the home of blues music.
Memphis is an older city that has been through a lot. With that said, the city has developed a rugged yet, colorful sense of character that locals identify with. A lovely mix of old and new, Memphians have worked hard to build a vibrant community while keeping the city's old-time charm. Memphis has much more to offer than just Graceland with its lively neighborhoods and constant renewal.
Although downtown Memphis has experienced quite a rebirth and renewal in the last few years, the center of the city is older and while new development is hard to find, revitalization of old areas is beginning to take shape. Areas such as Beale Street and Mud Island have become relatively safe and citizens once again have a vested interest in making downtown safe, exciting, and a great place to visit and relax after decades of abandonment.
Whether visiting or moving to the area, from May to October make it well worth your while to visit the Memphis Farmers Market which formed and began in 2006 - it is one of the brightest shining stars of the early Spring, Summer, and through Mid-Autumn. A word of caution: Memphis is extremely hot in the summertime, and the humidity can make you feel even hotter! Those who have trouble tolerating high heat and humidity may wish to avoid visiting during July or August.
Memphis has a certain baroque, ruined quality that's both sad and beguiling. Though poverty is rampant – Victorian mansions sit beside tumbledown shotgun shacks (a narrow style of house popular in the South) and college campuses lie in the shadow of eerie abandoned factories – whiffs of a renaissance are in the air. Neighborhoods once downtrodden, abandoned and/or otherwise reclaimed by kudzu – South Main, Binghampton, Crosstown and others – are being reinvented with kitschy boutiques, hipster lofts and daring restaurants, all dripping with Memphis' wild river-town spirit.

U.S. NAVY TECHNICAL TRAINING SCHOOL MEMPHIS TENNESSEE RECRUITMENT FILM 81554
Made in the late 1960s by Wilding, this U.S. Navy recruiting film BENEATH NAVY WINGS begins with an anti-submarine warfare exercise. At :41, an enemy submarine is seen on the surface of the ocean. Above it flies a Lockheed P-2 Neptune, Maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft. The airplane prepares to make a sonobuoy run and successfully locates the hostile boat. Later, at 2:40, in the scenario that unfolds over the course of the film, the crew of the Neptune tries to return to base but suffers a mechanical issue -- their forward landing gear won't come down.
At 4:10, the crew makes a low pass over a U.S. Navy control tower (staffed by a female air traffic controller). The controller verifies that the forward landing gear won't come down. Then, in a scene reminiscent of Dr. Strangelove, a crew member braves the forward landing gear area to try to get the gear to go down.
The film then digresses to look at specialized Navy training schools throughout the USA, including the largest one in the nation, the Naval Technical Training School at Memphis, Tennessee. Here the specialists of the Naval air arm are trained. Various training is seen from fire fighting (9:01) to water survival (9:17), carrier deck safety (9:40), and aircraft operation (10:38). Academic and classroom book work are shown at 10:50. At 13:00, the film shows how Navy men also are suave and charming -- as one of the recruits gets to dance with the woman air traffic controller seen earlier (note the jukebox in the background).
At 14:36, work with machines is shown and mechanical training and engineering. At 15:00, an airman gets trained in how to use an ejection seat, and at 15:18 metal work and refrigeration systems.
At 16:30, plane hydraulic controls are examined by crew chief candidates. At 17:24 the instructor says, There are two laws in aviation: the law of Gravity and Murphy's Law. The Law of Gravity states that what goes up, must go down. Murphy's Law states that if an aircraft part can be installed incorrectly, someone will install it that way. At 19:30, electronic and radio systems are studied, and this is shown in further detail at 23:00. Various ratings are explained ... ordnanceman are shown at 23:00...fire control technician ... air controlman...bosun's mate...photographic intelligenceman...parachute rigger...aerographer's mate...photographer's mate...and more.
The Neptune aircraft shown in the film belongs to Patrol Squadron FIVE (VP-5). VP-5 is a long-lived maritime patrol squadron of the United States Navy. It is the second squadron to bear the VP-5 designation. VP-5 is the second oldest patrol squadron, the fourth oldest in the United States Navy, and the 33rd oldest squadron in the United States military. The P-2 Neptune was developed for the US Navy by Lockheed to replace the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura and PV-2 Harpoon, and was replaced in turn by the Lockheed P-3 Orion.

Rivers and Rails: Daggers of the Civil War | Tennessee Civil War 150 | NPT
As Charles Dickens might have described it, rivers and rails brought the best of times and the worst of times to 19th century Tennessee. Rivers and Rails: Daggers of the Civil War, the latest episode in the Tennessee Civil War 150 series, a joint venture between Nashville Public Television (NPT) and The Renaissance Center, explores how transportation by water and steel brought great prosperity to the state just before the Civil War, only to give the invading Union Army a highway directly into the Deep South, eventually helping force the Confederacy to its knees.
Rivers and Rails: Daggers of the Civil War, co-produced by the Emmy Award-winning team of Stephen Hall and Ken Tucker of The Renaissance Center, is the seventh episode in the Tennessee Civil War 150 series, a multi-part project coinciding with the Sesquicentennial anniversary of the Civil War. Previous installments include Secession, Civil War Songs and Stories, No Going Back: Women and the War and Shiloh: The Devil's Own Day and No Looking Back: African American and the War. All have either won or been nominated for regional Emmy Awards.
2018 WZDX Hidden History Special
Once again, WZDX is honoring the contributions of African Americans with our Hidden History project. This special program takes a look at events in Black History that are rarely discussed, but have an large impact on the lives of people in Alabama and around the United States.
Here are the stories that were featured in our Hidden History Project:
The Lee Sisters - Seven sisters from Memphis gained national recognition as the “Most arrested Civil Rights Family” in 1965. The Lee Sisters were arrested 17 times for taking part in protests throughout Memphis, but other family members were also present at the March on Washington, Selma, and the March against Fear in Mississippi.
Harry & Harriette Moore – They’ve been called the first martyr of the Civil Rights movement and were the first NAACP official to be murdered in the fight for equality.
The Lowry House – This historic home was built in the mid 1800s by John Tate Lowry, a merchant with the firm of Lowry, Hamilton and Company. It was also a stop on the Underground Railroad
The Clotilda – The remains of what could be the last ship to bring slaves to the United States was recently uncovered in Mobile, Alabama.
The Amistad - La Amistad was a slave ship caught in the middle of an international controversy during the 1890’s. Now, that very ship is teaching future generations about the history of the Atlantic Slave trade and the revolt itself.
Porcher Taylor – General Porcher Taylor is one of the few living African Americans that fought in 3 major wars.
Gold Star Families of the Past - This is a story found in the newly opened National Museum of African American History and Culture. We often hear about Gold Star families in the news today, but there is little known about Gold Star families of the past. A curator for the museum will highlight one story of an
Saint Bartley Primitive Baptist Church – Founded in 1820, Saint Bartley is the oldest African American in the state of Alabama.
Orange Mound community- It’s the first African American neighborhood in the U.S. built by African Americans. Built on the grounds of an old plantation, the Orange Mound was the first ever of its kind – providing inexpensive housing options to the city’s African American residents.
Remembering Knoxville’s Past – The Beck Cultural Center in Knoxville, Tennessee has a very unique way of preserving history.
William Floorville – One of Abraham Lincoln’s best friends was a black man named William Floorville. He was Lincoln’s barber and a business partner.
Louisiana’s Jazz & Blues - The musical contributions of Louisiana's African-American community play a rich part of United States History. Today, many Jazz and Dixieland musicians perform at Congo Square in Louis Armstrong park.
Made in USA - HELP! Save!
This is a documentary of a company that's going to be liquidated in just a few days if something isn't done to save them. It's a typical travesty of American craftmanship today and needs the attention of all Americans. With some help, this company should be able to continue it's craft through funding of private and public funds, most likely as a working museum. Please help spread this story to Americans that appreciate the value of Made in USA. Any help in reaching a resource that may help save this company would be greatly appreciated.

SeeHearSayLearn.com presents a series of videos to get you speaking and learning languages such as English, Spanish / Espanol, French, German, Albanian, Arabic, and more. We are working hard to get our videos uploaded. We provide you with word pronunciations, definitions, translations, stories, rhymes, riddles, jokes, tongue twisters, and anything that will help bridge the gap between your current fluency to your desired proficiency and understanding. Whether you're just learning or trying to bolster your intellectual quotient into a new stratosphere of concise and succinct communications, allocating the proper verbiage could be paramount to illustrating a picture for the recipient or merely shoving drab nondescript sounds of failure down their auditory meatuses. Run on sentence you say? I'd agree. Utilizing big complicated words isn't usually the most effective form of communication, but adapting your language to your recipient will be the most effective way to transfer your thoughts. Having a wide array of tools for each project will allow you to tailor your message for the most effect and efficient use of your time. To write, read, and listen to language takes fewer words than you might imagine. In each language, you could likely get away with understanding a few thousand words and be completely comfortable with many different language settings. Why even a few hundred can get you quite far.
If ever you find any of the words to be inaccurate in any way, which may most often be the pronunciation I want to thank anyone who reaches out to send me a message regarding any errors. I will do my best to read and correct any perceived errors. Be advised that many pronunciation can vary slightly between regions.
My congratulations to anyone broadening their word bank in any language. Science is clear that with more word associations languages become easier to learn and has the potential to be a protective buffer against dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.
