Memphis - Downtown from a different view


Rural King

Recommended Posts

Here are some old pics from atop the Peabody from a nice hot sunny summer day.

Note: This is pre-digital camera, so the shots will not look the same as some of my more recent photo threads on Memphis and Nashville. There will also not be the quantity as is the case with digital camera threads.

The NBC Tower...to me this building just shouts out Memphis for some reason. Probably since growing up its one of the towers I always associated with the city.

100 North Main, First Tennessee, and the Sterick Building.

Eh a so so shot. Any lower I would have had a obstruction, so I was trying to minimize its role in the picture.

Should of lowered the shot a little, but the top of the buildings was the objective. I miss the old NBC logo!! ;)

Thanks for the pics. You inspired me to drag out some old unposted pics of South Main and post them.

I especially liked the AutoZone one where you can see Baptist Hospital in the background.

You ought to get down there and get pics of the demolition which is scheduled for Nov. 6--I think. Check on that, because it wouldn't be cool if you were a day late! lol :blink:
