Go Grizz!

 Memphis, TN

Back to Downtown for the Evening

Today we took a Lyft back downtown for some fried chicken, a cocktail, and a Memphis Grizzlies Basketball game.

We started out at Gus's Fried Chicken (again).  We have had a few fried chicken meals since we left Washington last April and this is the best place (so far) in our opinion.  We planned on waiting in line and waiting for our meal but Gus's was operating at full capacity and we were in and out faster than we had anticipated so we walked across the street to Old Dominick Distillery for a cocktail.  

Old Dominick's has the best $10 cocktails we have had in a long time.

After our meal we walked to FedEx Forum and explored the arena before the game.  There were plenty of people walking from downtown to the arena so we were in a pack of people celebrating even before the game started.  

The Old Dominick Distillery bar at the arena was hopping

Grizz kind of looks like Teenwolf.

There were areas with really cool local art.

One of the best parts of the experience was how much fun the kids around us were having.  They were so into the game and putting on a great show for us.

The Grizzlies won against the Houston Rockets.  It was an exciting game with plenty of highlights.

We are wrapping up our time in Memphis.  We just have a few more things to do and a few more days to do them.  Our plans have changed for our trip to St. Louis.  We were going to spend 2 nights in Nashville but we didn't get our points in time to book before everything was booked up due to Spring Break.  Since we are Diamond members, we were invited to book a fully booked hotel for $653 a night.  We decided to pass and now we are camping along the Mississippi river in both Tennessee and Kentucky.  

That's it for today.  If you missed the previous post you can find it here.
