Places to hang out in Memphis

there's a dude on here "dprogram" from that area.... he could probably point you in the right direction, might wanna msg. him in case he doesnt see this thread............ the only two times i've been there were 1) just there workin, so not really chillin/hangin out and 2)basically rolled in and rolled out within a matter of hours so we didnt hang out.........i had my eyes WIDE OPEN lookin for travelin kids while i was there workin since i had a pocket full of money and wanted to blow it...never saw any.............i guess beale st. would be a good bet, although it seemed like you wouldnt last too long panhandling or hangin out there with packs on
 
I don't think many travelers make it to Memphis.. Could be wrong.. Dprogram is there as Bryan Paul said.. Hit him up.. He was gonna help us out while we were there.. Thought Memphis sounded good til we got there..

Theres 5 class 1 railroads that cross in Memphis. Not to mention its one of those east coast to west coast railroad towns. IE. switch from say NS to UP etc. But then again i guess most "travelers" these days never seem to make it away from the west coast unless their taking "the sand line"
 
We didn't see a soul in a solid week..

Well i can tell everyone where it's not hahha.
 
good thing no one goes to memphis i suppose then no one will find out how awesome pine bluff arkansas is or muschle shoals... al
 
but when i was memphis i just hung around by the catch out spnged the gas station got wendys and caught out... theres a really awesome abando by the dwarf signal though... pretty sick building
 
but when i was memphis i just hung around by the catch out spnged the gas station got wendys and caught out... theres a really awesome abando by the dwarf signal though... pretty sick building. and no one ever make the mistake i made when it stops before memphis.... germantown tennessee worst place ever
 
West Memphis Arkansas is te worst place by far... Oops. I can't stop talking about how awful that place is. STAY away!
 
I go to memphis to leave memphis. Shit yes dwarf signals to pine bluff. My fam is in Little Rock so I take that route alot.
 
Yup!! Easy catch too! So id assume you explored that abando too?? Pine bluff is really awesome as well. thats how i got out west most recently actaully... was staying up in Huntsville AL, got a ride to decauter hitched up to Muscle Shoals... rode to memphis - pine bluff - dallas. hitched to tulsa and then from tulsa to got a ride to Amarillo. then from amarillo to belen then stayed on till barstow.
 
Stupid easy! Thats where I usually take my newbies. Are you talking about the warehouse with the open tractor trailer on the lot? Its further back from where I usually go though. Pine Bluff is a breeze if the mosquitos arent in full force. Had to take refuge in someones shed once. There was a matress in it so we threw that down and crashed for a couple hours. Went back the next year and it was just as we left it. I always see skunks in PB too.
 
Yep that's the one!!! Yea I got humped there actually... And was about almost to the Fina gas station and the bull got me haha. Have you flown the wal-mart in pine bluff?
 
I waited by the trees the first time I was there where you first walk up on 3rd and Carolina but to much activity I found the warehoues is just as good and further back. Plus it was FREEZING. Lmao went through the whole building, and this crack head had them selves a nice lil crack pad. Her pipes were spread all over the place haha.
 
Nah Pine Bluff is only 4 hours from Little Rock. My mom lives in a metal shack just south of the city and she usually makes me ham and beans when I visit. So Im on a mission kind of. Ha! I waited at the same spot as you my first time there then! 2nd time the train was waiting for me. Then the last time I found the warehouse and told the chick I was with "I want to check it out but theres probably crack heads in there."

We hijacked this guys thread. Its now the shaky ride to Pine Bluff thread. Dude just kick it at our hop out! Bring beer!
 
monday nights at the Lamplighter in Midtown, anarchists, anarcho syndicalists, likeminded people meet, get drunk, and argue. shits pretty fun
 
other then benching at kentucky st, isnt much else to do. Make a ton of money flying a sign by the flying J in Olive Branch, about a 7 hour walk from the BNSF im facility.
