Great video, and thank you for raising awareness about carriages and the reasons to avoid using them.

[@grrrltraveler]

My pleasure. I’m not sure how horse carriages do not fit under animal welfare/abuse laws but that is crazy abuse I cannot imagine how hot yhose summers get. .

[@traceyquinsey8894]

Absolutely great video informative well rounded

[@grrrltraveler]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@fan.80s_90s]

I've heard a lot about Memphis, Tennessee even though I've never ever visited the city, Memphis will always be the city for music. Each cities has their own collection of activities and things to do around the city. Overall the video is absolutely outstanding and awesome places to visit. Dr King has a great respect and admiration for Mahatma Gandhi especially the moments for fighting independence.

[@grrrltraveler]

You know so much Nigel. I didn't know King followed Gandhi, although they are both great men of their era. =)

[@fan.80s_90s]

@@grrrltraveler Dr King visited India and visited the memorial grounds were Mahatma Gandhi was cremated called Rajghat.

[@storykillers2986]

Thanks for opening my eyes to this state, christine. I never thought of Memphis.

[@grrrltraveler]

You’re welcome! ❤️

[@wtrf22]

15:34 actually The Civil Rights Museum is open 6 days a week; Closed Tuesdays. Also Beale Street doesn’t always have a cover. Typically weekends and busy nights otherwise you’re good. Or get there early.

[@julzwonders]

Bass Pro Pyramid: Houses Ducks Unlimited museum as well. Hunting and Fishing seasons in the US have strict limits that help species survive and are modified year to year as necessary to the animals and environment. Hunting & fishing licenses fund preservation of natural habitats. 66% of people who live in the city of Memphis are below poverty level and may never have been able to afford to go to a wild area, and maybe they aren't off work on Tuesday at 3pm to go to the zoo on free day. Additionally, Bass Pro, Cabela's, hunting & fishing - it's all totally a thing and there are other Bass Pros like this, I'm thinking particularly of the one in Grapevine, TX but there are many. Thanks for visiting Memphis!

[@lynnlyons4430]

Hey grrl lol you eased my anxiety about going to Memphis alone. Can i ask you did you feel safe walking or did you uber everywhere? thanks for the awesome video of your trip. cheers lynn

[@grrrltraveler]

Np! Check my travel tips here: grrrltraveler.com/things-to-know-before-traveling-memphis/ 😃

[@JamesRonstadt]

Don’t venture off too far from Beale st. Like anywhere else be vigilant. Gang activity there is BAD. Also lots of panhandling.There are a couple of tours you can choose from. I’ll be there late September. Been there 6 times. First time in 87. (blues musician) Check out, Schwab store, and Bass pyramid. Also Sun records

[@arissnoel]

I live downtown and it is very walkable if you stay between Riverside (west), BB King (east), GE Patterson (south) and Poplar (north)! The trolly system isn’t very quick but it’s cheap and lovely - lots of electric scooters around too. Lyft and Uber are easy to use and there are lots of neighborhoods within a few miles’ drive that are definitely worth exploring: Cooper-Young, Overton Square, Broad Ave Arts District and South Main Arts District (which is technically downtown but its own district). Happy travels!!

[@davidgroves123]

Fabulous,well worth waiting for (were you tempted to "steal" the nice toiletries in your room?)

[@grrrltraveler]

I always LOVE discovering toiletries. But I have experienced better! LOL. I wasn't sure if this destination would appeal to my audiences, so thank you for watching and commenting.

[@Julio-cu1fq]

I could easily travel with you. Nice video!

[@grrrltraveler]

Maybe one day!😁

[@fishlocker.]

You go girl. I thought I lost all favorites a year ago. Still at it I see. It's been years since I've seen you. Someday I'll find the time to post a few more vids. Cheers.

[@grrrltraveler]

Cheers!

[@JanineAlexander-tz5pq]

Thanks for the advice. I'm taking my 70 year old mam and was feeling worried. I'll still be wary and keep my wits about me.

[@grrrltraveler]

More memphis trip guide links in Description box 💕 Should be helpful. Always keep wits about you when traveling. Take nowhere for granted and you’ll be good anywhere you go 😎😎

[@ht3oldnavy]

this feels so different but feels so weird seeing you out in the world again doing videos

[@grrrltraveler]

This was last year when i still wasn't comfortable with traveling ;)

Memphis is one of our favourite cities. We often travel from Australia just to visit Memphis. We will be visiting again in September.

[@julzwonders]

Mud Island River Park: It's actually a scale model of the Mississippi River from its tributaries to the Gulf of Mexico with the streets of the river towns inlaid along the banks. The water level in the model reflects the current river level. It overlooks the Mississippi River. You can get to it on foot on the bridge over the monorail.

[@grrrltraveler]

Thanks for sharing! 🧡

[@theklablnr]

I hate that you didn't make it to the top of the pyramid Amazing to watch the sunset

[@debbypramberg4829]

How far from graceland to beale st/and how can you get there easily

[@travelnutesther9781]

When I visited Beale St, it was free😉

[@grrrltraveler]

Sadly, no longer. I think it's to pay for the police security at night to make sure you're not carrying concealed firearms.

[@vic_the_roman]

Didnt know there were all those things to do there!

[@grrrltraveler]

Yes! So much ❤️ as a local have you done them all?

[@vic_the_roman]

@@grrrltraveler Im in Orlando,Florida 😎 but maybe will visit Memphis someday.

[@louisecowitz4128]

Peabody hotel...marching of the ducks

[@BenSColburn]

Someone fooled you. Beale Street is a public street and there is NO charge to walk down the street.

[@KillaGTGuy]

i love animals they are so tasty.

[@tetekofa]

Get the hell out of there is what I would do!!!

[@rl6282]

Try the BBQ

[@grrrltraveler]

Great suggestion! It’s in my food tour video. 👍

[@james22939]

You’re so beautiful

[@ettyh4064]

I dropped off after a few minutes. Couldn't stand the facial grimacing .
