SHOPPING
A trip to the Beale Street Historic District, Beale Street
between Second and Fourth Streets, 901-526-0110, will give you
a chance to combine history with shopping. Not sure why Beale
Street is famous? This is where W C Handy wrote "Memphis
Blues" in 1912 and launched the Mississippi Delta Blues
sound.
At night you'll still find musicians playing
traditional Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, and Rock-and-Roll
on Beal Street. During the day you'll just have to entertain
yourself with the neat shops and restaurants. One of the stores
you shouldn't miss while in this district is the A Schwab's Dry
Goods Store, 163 Beale Street, 901-523-9782. Open since 1876,
their motto is, "If you can't find it at Schwab's, you're
better off without it."
For more fun shopping in historic districts, head to Cooper
and Young Streets where you'll find the Cooper Young Entertainment
District. Or go over to Madison and Cooper Streets and the Overton
Square Entertainment District where you'll find even more stores
to tempt you.
If you like mall shopping you'll be glad to hear that Memphis
has 11 of them to choose from. The largest and newest, Wolfchase
Galleria, 2760 N. Germantown Parkway, 901-381-2769, has over
120 specialty shops with 35 area exclusives. The other big shopping
mall is the Mall of Memphis, I-240 at Perkins Rd., 901-362-9315,

150 Peabody, 901-261-7529, stores like featuring Jillians, Tower
Records, Starbucks, and a 21-screen movie theatre with a 3-D
IMAX.

Vintage Department Store, 2304 Central Ave, 901-272-2304; or
the Afrikan Emporium, 1263 S Lions Gate Dr, 901-340-7730. At
