Photo Essay Of MEM05, Part II

As promised, here are some more pictures from the infamous trip to Memphis. 

1. The Lorraine Motel - where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.  The motel has been closed, and it now houses the National Civil Rights Museum. 
2. Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel - Dr. King's room where he was shot and killed.  Those are the original cars from his entourage, and they are in the exact same spots as they were the day he was killed.
3. Sun Records - the studio where Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and many others first recorded.
4. Pat O'Bryan's on Beale Street - home of the famous Pat O'Bryan's Hurricane. It's identical to the Pat O'Bryan's down on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
5. A stuffed goat at Silky O'Sullivan's on Beale Street.  The goat was pretty big.  We guessed it might have been a family pet.
6. Live goats in the little tower outside at Silky O'Sullivan's.  We didn't even want to know why.
7. The front of the original building that houses Silky O'Sullivan's.  The story goes the buildings were originally a bar.  When prohibition came, they turned it into a brothel. When prohibition ended, they turned it back into a bar. 
8. Just one of the many interesting signs you see in restaurants and bars along Beale Street.
9. The famous ducks in the fountain at the Peabody Hotel.
