Memphis is a city along the Mississippi River in southwestern Shelby County, Tennessee, United States. Its 2020 population was 633,104, making it Tennessee's second-most populous city behind Nashville, the nation's 28th-largest, and the largest city proper situated along the Mississippi River. Greater Memphis is the 42nd-largest metropolitan area in the United States, with a population of 1,348,260 in 2017. The city is the anchor of West Tennessee and the greater Mid-South region, which includes portions of neighboring Arkansas, Mississippi, and the Missouri Bootheel. Memphis is the seat of Shelby County, Tennessee's most populous county. One of the more historic and culturally significant cities of the southern United States, Memphis has a wide variety of landscapes and distinct neighborhoods.
The first European explorer to visit the area of present-day Memphis was Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto in 1541 with his expedition into the New World. The high Chickasaw Bluffs protecting the location from the waters of the Mississippi was then contested by 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 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 become one of the nation's leading commercial centers in transportation and logistics.[9] Its largest employer is the multinational courier corporation FedEx, which maintains its global air hub at Memphis International Airport, making it the busiest cargo airport in the world. In addition to being the global air cargo leader, the International Port of Memphis also hosts the fifth-busiest inland water port in the U.S., with access to the Mississippi River allowing shipments to arrive from around the world for conversion to train and trucking transport throughout the United States, making Memphis a multi-modal hub for trading goods for imports and exports despite its inland location.
Memphis is a regional center for commerce, education, media, art, and entertainment. It has long had a prominent music scene, with historic blues clubs on Beale Street originating the unique Memphis blues sound in the early 20th century. The city's music has continued to be shaped by a multicultural mix of influences: the blues, country, rock and roll, soul, and hip-hop. Memphis-style 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.
Recorded with Sony a6400 using kit 18mm - 135mm lens.
The DJI RS2 was used for stabilization.

[@UncleBillyBob732]

Lived there for a few years in the 80's. Looks a little bit different now. They used to have cool horse-drawn buggies that would ride you around down around the Beale St. area at night. Electric trollies didn't work then.

[@TheTravelerRV]

it was a weekday and early morning for this trip. dont guess the buggies were out yet. Horse-drawn buggies always make think of San Antonio and New Orleans NOLA. but cant wait to go back for a night drive through Memphis.

[@TheTravelerRV]

I have been there when I was younger. I have family that live in Chicago and have property out at the Dales. I can remember ice fishing up there when I was younger. I also saw The White Stripes in Milwaukee around 2006. I haven't been able to go back up there since I started my channel, but I look forward to the day I can return

Memphis a little looks like new orleans

[@TheTravelerRV]

Thanks for your comment! It's true that both Memphis and NOLA have rich histories and unique cultures that are reflected in their architecture, music, and food. Both cities are known for their vibrant music scenes, with Memphis being famous for blues and rock and roll, and New Orleans being known for jazz and brass. They also both have a strong culinary influence, with Memphis being famous for its barbecue and New Orleans being known for its Creole and Cajun cuisine. Both cities also have a thriving arts scene. So, it's not surprising that they may have some similarities in terms of their overall vibe and atmosphere

[@torrancewilson7914]

Been watching driving videos for a few years now, they don’t understand the camera is fixed while you drive, no one is holding it, so the focus is what you see ahead as you drive, obviously they’ve never seen similar videos from LA, New York and other driving vids.
