(okay, not entirely accurate but I know most Memphians haven't)

Been there once.....when relatives came to town.

I have spent a lot of time at Graceland...

Everyone should see it.

Ive never been to jerrys snowcones

You've been deprived, my friend. You must go this weekend. go early. There's always a line.

That's kinda in a bad part of town, isn't it?

No, you'll be fine. Been many times, day and night. Never had or saw a problem.

Snow,

You did mean storm sewers didn't you? Many a day of my misspent youth was whiled away at Clearpool. And Rainbow Lake. Remember that one?

I shall try this elusive snow cone place

If you never heard an air-raid siren at noon on Saturday.

All good ones, I miss Panchos cheese dip. Even in Texas!

Get my Pancho's dip and bring some home everytime we go. And stock up on Strawberry's and Rondevous seasoning too.

It's 10 PM, do you know where your children are?

Man, now that's a real list, as are some others.

Those Wings players must be in their 70's now if I'm in my 60's.

John LeHeup may have earned his own spot somewhere on that list.

Rainbow Lake...so so vague..the memory I mean. Where was that?

Southwest corner of Lamar and Dunn. Also had a skating rink there at one time. Later was used by Pancho's to make and ship chips and cheese dip. There's an Aldis and some apartment on the site now.
