Downtown Information
Downtown Memphis, Tennessee is located on the Mississippi River between
Interstate 40 to the north and Interstate 55 to the south. Downtown Memphis is
the home of Beale Street, The Lorraine Motel (now the National Civil Rights
Museum) where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, the
FedExForum, the Pyramid, the Peabody Hotel, and AutoZone Park. It is home to the
Memphis Redbirds, the AAA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Memphis
Grizzlies NBA team.
The downtown Memphis skyline consists of several tall buildings. There have been
several new proposals for Memphis, consisting of the first tallest skyscaper
built in Memphis since 100 North Main. These buildings include One Beale,
Trinity Tower, and The Horizon (consists of two high rise structures).
The South Main Arts District makes up the southern portion of Downtown Memphis.
Two of the greatest points of interest in Memphis reside in this area. One is
the National Civil Rights Museum. The other is the historic restaurant The
Arcade. It is one of the oldest family owned restaurants in Memphis. The family
that runs it is very nice and can be seen regularly operating the restaurant in
its usual hours. These hours are primarily breakfast and lunch, though the
restaurant can be rented out for private parties.
