    I lived near there back in the 70s when I worked for Levi's. Have fun you guys. Want some good BBQ while you are there? They have a place near our house and we eat there about every other week. Being from Memphis we are very particular where we eat BBQ. Good eats, great mac and Cheese and cheese biscuits to die for. Give them a try while you are there. I do know you like to try new places from your Facebook posts. Chuck.
