16. Go on a Mural Hunt
If you have an appreciation for creativity and the arts then this will be a good adventure for you. There are so many beautiful murals around the city and the link below has them all! Take pictures, explore, and find yourself in some of Memphis' historic neighborhoods.

17. Attend a sporting event (when covid free)
Memphis definitely doesn't play about sports! We are Tiger Country and Grizz Nation! And we can never forget about our redbirds! So, grab some tickets and join Memphians as we cheer on some of our favorite athletes. 

18. Hang with a Local/Eat at a Locals Home
If you were blessed with a friend from Memphis have them be your guide and take you around and if said guide has a family that can cook (which is often here) than pray that they invite you to dinner. This way you get to absorb all of the love, culture, food, and southern hospitality first hand. I promise you'll have a good time!

19. Volunteer or Donate to St. Jude
St. Jude is Memphis, no other way to describe it. They exhibit what it truly means to be a Memphian, helping others and making a difference! One of my favorite things to do is to volunteer so on the link below find some Memphis based Nonprofits that will help you understand how important giving is to Memphians near and far. Plug901. 
 
20. Take a Tour of Possibilities
This tour will take you you around Memphis to explain tragedies we have faced, victories we have won, and show just how far we have come! Book here! 
 
21. Visit Shelby Farms 
Most of time I have heard Shelby Farms mentioned it is in comparison to Central Park and it's the corniest marketing line ever from the random tourism video. But Shelby Farms is one of the largest urban parks in the county! There are bike trails, restaurants, event spaces, and dope seasonal events. It's a beautiful space with so many options! Check out the website to see what is the latest with Shelby Farms and what events are taking place! Check the plan tab if you are looking for events. Shelby Farms

22. Fall Movie Night in Chime Square (when covid free) This is one of my favorite annual events! Every year Overton Square sets up the courtyard for movies under the stars. It's free, kid friendly and there are plenty restaurants available if you want to grab a bite. Sometimes there are vendors on site for different theater like treats! Of course Fall movie night won't be happening this year but in the future be on the look out for this one. 

23. Get some seasoned wings
Seasoned wings are an amazing creation from the Gods of Memphis and everyone who visits should try some! Seasoned or honey gold, honey hot, suicide, or any of the other flavors we have come up with. My top 3 wing spots for you to try are Crumpy's, Mikes Hot Wings, and Wing Factory. And Oh don't forget to add seasoned fries! Seasoned fries are regular fries with a blend of different delicious seasonings!!  NOT the brown joints!

24. Tasting Tour at Old Dominick Distillery
Our beloved Old Dominick Distillery where they make local spirits, host tasting tours, hold events, and help to keep downtown popping. Old Dominick's history in Memphis goes back 150 years and we are honored to have them here in the city where their journey started. Distilled right here in Memphis you can find all Old Dominick spirits in our local liquor stores. Let me know if you all want a list of the local breweries too because we have quite a few of those. 

25. Play Me Some Pimpin, Mane
Memphis and music are always mentioned together! From Rock n Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Hip-Hop (traditional and alternative), and Trap music, we have it all. We also have some of the most talented people you will ever meet! So on a random day this month make a playlist picking from artist like Isaac Hayes, Three 6 Mafia, The Bar Kays, Don Lifted, Booker T and The M.G.'s, Yo Gotti, Emi Secrest, W.C. Handy, Franceschi, 8 Ball & MJG, Project Pat,  Playa Fly, or whatever other genre you are looking for.

26. The Orpheum Theatre 
This beautiful building was originally known as the Grand Opera House in 1890. Since then the Orpheum has survived name changes, fires, the great depression and almost being demolished! Saved by a group of concerned citizens the Orpheum has been allowing us to experience the arts ever since! That's why I think it's so important to see shows and concerts there! This place embodies that resilient Memphis spirit. The one that never dies or gives up and continues to reinvent itself! Just like now, the Orpheum is currently offering miniature golfs games on stage with Broadway themed holes! Not even Covid-19 could stop them from reconnecting with the community.

27. Research Orange Mound 
Because of the history of this neighborhood and it being where I'm from I had to find a way to add it to the list. Click the link to hear about the first African American Community in the history of America that was built by and for African Americans on former plantation grounds. PBS When you are done listening check out our local Nonprofit that has dedicated its time and resources to rebuilding Orange Mound into what it used to be. JUICE Orange Mound

28. Visit Graceland 
If Elvis or Graceland is mentioned Memphis follows. Most Memphians have never been to Graceland but people love to go. It's definitely a tourist attraction. The most I know about it is that it is in my second favorite neighborhood, Whitehaven. If interested in purchasing tickets click here!
