Memphis Featured in Garden & Gun Magazine
Hampton Sides, writing for Garden & Gun magazine, has an excellent city profile of Memphis in the April/May 2015 issue. From iconic highlights such as barbecue joints and soul music hangouts, to the new wave of talent and neighborhoods grinding the city forward, the article is the perfect resource for planning your next trip to Memphis.
The Garden & Gun article comes on the heels of The New York Times profiling Memphis for its popular “36 Hours in…” travel series.
Sides, who was born in Memphis, comments:
This thing about Memphis: Is there really a there there, or just a belief in the thereness? If It came from Memphis, what is the It? I can’t precisely say, and I’m afraid if I delved any deeper, it would kill the very thing itself. That’s how fragile it is. Like a frog on dry land, it can’t stand too much direct light or desiccating heat. Like some of Eggleston’s photos, it’s unanalyzable. You can’t define it or bottle it. You can’t explain or parse it. You just have to go there and get a whiff for yourself.
