Geocache Description:


You're at the world wide known entrance to Beale Street!

 

Beale Street, established in 1841, is a historic street in Memphis known as the birthplace of the blues and a cultural hub for African Americans.

Origins and Early Development

Beale Street was created in 1841 by entrepreneur Robertson Topp and was originally named Beale Avenue, after Edward Fitzgerald Beale, a military hero from the Mexican-American War. The street initially served as a commercial hub, with shops catering to traders along the Mississippi River. By the 1860s, it began to attract black traveling musicians, marking the start of its transformation into a music mecca. 

Many sign poles around to help direct you.

BYOP.  This is a busy area - be cautious for muggles!

Coords take you to the correct corner of Beale and Main (south east). There are many sign poles - what do you often need to do to park?
