Memphis Walk of Fame


A walk of fame in Memphis, Tennessee? Yes, there is one! Modelled after the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, bus charter Memphis can take you right to where the action is – on Beale Street Historic District in Downtown Memphis that spans 1.8 miles.
It is historic as the location is significant in the city’s historic and also in the history of blues music genre. There are many blues clubs and restaurants that line up Beale Street. Immerse yourself with the melodic rhythm of the genre here at B. B. Kings Blues Club, Alley Katz, Rum Boogie CafĂ©, Dyer’s Famous Burgers, The Lange Place, Ground Zero Blues Club and many more.
You may want to visit the Coyote Ugly Saloon on 326 Beale Street that served as the setting for the movie of the same name starring Piper Perabo and Maria Bello. However, please note that this IS the original Coyote Ugly so it may get rowdier than what you’ve seen on the movie. But don’t worry, if you need to get out of there fast call bus charter Memphis to ride out in style.
By the way, the United States Congress officially declared Beale Street “Home of the Blues” in 1977. In more recent times, you can enjoy the Beale Street Music Festival on the Mississippi River end of the street. This usually happens either in late April or early May, giving you ample time to prepare as the festival features not only blues music but those of other genres as well.
The festival is the major kick-off event for a city wide festival known as Memphis in May. Yes, bus charter Memphis can transport you and your friends directly to the heart of the festivities.
Now, back to the Walk of Fame – although modeled after its counterpart in LalaLand, it is designed exclusively for Memphis singers, composers, and writers. Those who have been honored include Bobby Blue Bland, W. C. Handy, Alberta Hunter and B. B. King.
