How can you go to Memphis without a stop at "The Kings"?
BTW:There used to be a dynamite Italian resturant in the downtown area. However: I don't remember the name of it.

Nathan Bedford Forrest understood logistics with his motto, "Get there the fastest with the mostest!" Had he not served as the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, I think that many would hold his memory high. While I admire his military ability, I cannot condone his post-war behavior. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Bedford_Forrest Mark

If you want to eat at a nice white tablecloth restaurant, Interim in Germantown is superb.

Some Damn Yankee sure can't get their facts right here- go to Wikipedia- I did- and you'll see Tennessee native son N.B. Forrest was born on 7/13/1821 and died 10/29/1897- served in Lee's Army of the Confederacy as a Lt. General (but did not attend either VMI or the Citadel, or West Point, as did many of Lee's Staff officers, and of course, the great General himself--VMI and West Point-- Lt. General Forrest's last compaign was in Selma, Alabama--
In 1865 in Pulaski, Tenn General Forrest- wisely fearing the rapacious Yankee carpetbaggers that were about to do to his beloved South what Sherman and Grant did under Lincoln's orders prior to April 1865, founded the KKK- Kuklos from the Greek word for Circle- a Southern Greek letter fraternity whose mission was to control, as best they could with limited resources, the further rape and pillage of the South by the carpetbaggers and scallywags--
It is true that the KKK later became known for its cruel persecution of the Negroes, and that caused General Forrest to drop his membership and support of the group he helped to develop. My guess is, he, like so many career soldiers who survived the Hell-Hole of 4 years of a brutal war that pitted brother against brother, state against state, that he was sickened by the visages of the Negroes being lynched and beaten by his associates--
Ed, I am sure you meant well in your unfounded outburst. But may I suggest you stick to torching guns and trying to sell them on GunBroker to the unwary from your Northern bastion in the Live Free or Die State, and until you have spent the time studying both American History and especially the War of Northern Aggression, refrain from "shooting from the hip" about such great men as Nathan Bedford Forrest!!
