I only went to Memphis once, and I left knowing there was much of it I
hadn't seen. It was 1998, and it must have been August, because the
city was crowded with people there for the anniversary of Elvis
Presley's death. I was there for a conference about HIV/AIDS
prevention and treatment. It was an odd coincidence, and one that made
it fairly easy to tell conference attendees from the tourists who were
there to celebrate or experience one of Memphis' three major
attractions: Elvis, Barbeque, and the Blues. They were all everywhere.
