To prime the pump for our “suggestion box” feature, here’s a question for your consideration:
If you were recruiting someone to move to Memphis and you only had a couple of hours to convince that person, where would you take him/her? Why?
As we said yesterday, we welcome your recommendations on a variety of subject, but we toss this one out to see if it generates any ideas from you.

Cooper-Young. I would show them how much house they could get for their money, show them the variety of restaurants and shops within walking distance and how well-kept the neighborhood happened to be.
Trolley Ride !!!!
Wild Bill's!
A ride down Walnut Grove Rd out east. It's not my style of hood, but in spring it's gorgeous.
Sorry to be a blog hog this week, but I'll throw out something else to be looked at: the city cab situation. It is unbelievably broken. Twenty to thirty dollars for a cab ride from the airport to downtown? Not being able to hail a cab? Having to wait up to ninety minutes after calling for one?
Isn't there a Cab Commission that artificially limits cab licenses to keep profits high and competition non-existent? Take 'em to the Mississippi and let 'em have a swim.
Downtown. Then again, you'd have to 'splain the Pyramid.
The Zoo. We have an awesome zoo.
I would take them to the Flying Saucer on Friday night because you've got a vibrant bar with Beale Street down the way and Peabody Place just across the street. A good, vibrant experience.
Also, the Madison or Peabody rooftop parties could be good. They're not my scene, but they can be fun and the views are outstanding.
Finally, a Redbirds game. We forget how great that stadium is. Also, I would get them to try the Rendevous BBQ nachos, a treat you can't find at most ball parks.
HarborTown for recruiting, Winchester/Bill Morris Parkway from Southwind to Collierville FedEx for reality tour.
I would take them on a walk through Midtown ending at Central BBQ; good food and a beer on the patio. Then end anywhere in Midtown for good music. Hopefully finding Snowglobe or Clanky's Nub playing.
I love the uniqueness and diversity of Cooper Young, and also second the South Main idea.
We recently entertained a visiting artist for a few days. It turned out that what impressed her most were the more casual, "everyday" spots like Soul Fish, P&H, and Fino's.
agree with anon: wild bill's for sure. that place sold ME on memphis - after i already lived here!
