The National Guard is on Beale Street in Memphis and this is completely absurd
Three chicks and the least intimidating male you can imagine were taking a selfie outside the Blues City Cafe.
I asked: are you the national guard?
Yes
Why are you here?
To keep you safe.
Okay...
At least they're not in Syria I guess.

I love Beale Street. Small shops, catfish at the Blues City Cafe, the music.
While driving around Memphis, I drove by a stadium and thought that it looked familiar so I did a u-turn. It was the Liberty Bowl. The gate was open and I watched the Memphis State Tigers working out inside the stadium. Nice little sidebar to my Memphis vaca.
Memphis itself is a complete shithole and it is sad.
Beale is really fun though
Yea, you do have to be aware of your surroundings, but, it was a blast.
Growing up in Gary, Memphis was not a shock. Very similar places.
Blues City Cafe = top notch BBQ
And they take care of the cops
I had the ribs, they were great.
Coleslaw underperformed, but everything else was great.
You are triggering memories of my 1984 Liberty Bowl trip
Of course, it was a jillion degrees below zero, and the National Guard could not hope to contain us.
