Real Estate Information

Having spent quite a few of years living in Memphis, I am excited to share and to spend a few moments sharing some simple facts about the city itself, as well as interesting spots worth taking a moment to check out. I am assuming, hopefully not in error, that the reader is not familiar with Memphis, TN and may be considering a visit.

If so, I’d like to invite you to celebrate! It’s a truly fortunate person who gets to visit a number of cultural hot-spots in Memphis for the very first time. Hopefully you’ll come back and visit more often!

One of the best to visit in Memphis, TN when I’m hoping to get a bite to eat or drink is the Cooper Young district. The Cooper Young district has a number of places to hang-out and eat that are entirely unique to Memphis, and you won’t find represented in any other city. With the exception of Memphis, of course!

The Cooper-Young district has Young Ave Deli. The Young Avenue Deli has won awards-o-many for its food, has a fantastic selection of everyone’s favorite brew — beer, and has been referred to as one of the best places to see some music in the greater Memphis area. In addition to the food, alcoholic beverages, and live music it also has a smoke shop.

The Cooper Young neighborhood also has Memphis’ most popular pub… Celtic Crossing. Celtic Crossing has been known to have good food, good beer, an awesome pub atmosphere, and lots of events every single day. The Celtic Crossing monthly events include, but are not limited to: live music, pub quiz night, and a brunch on Sundays. The patio is a awesome place to hang out too .

Of course, things to do in Memphis aren’t limited to just the restaurants on Cooper-Young. There are a wide selection popular museums worth visiting as well.

The Pink Palace is one such museum in the greater Memphis, Tennessee region. The Pink Palace museum began with the building of a palatial 36,500 square foot estate in 1922 by the founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain, Claurence Sanders. Saunders named the future home of the Pink Palace Museum “Cla-Le-Clare” but it was nicknamed “Pink Palace” by the many people of Memphis, TN who were able to see its building within clear view from Central Avenue.

Clarence Saunders never did end up being able to live in the mansion, however. Mr. Saunders lost his fortune, and the “Pink Palace” was acquired by another company which donated the entire estate to the city of Memphis. It opened as the Memphis Museum of Natural History and Industrial Arts.
