Danielle here. It’s hard to believe its been almost one year since I became a homeowner, and what better way to celebrate than with a visit to the Southern Home & Garden Show taking over the Greenville Convention Center this weekend.

City Editor Brianna here. I grew up in Memphis, TN, a city where local pride runs strong and delicious food, rich history, and lots of fun run rampant.
If you’re ready to board the plane, touch down in the land of the Delta Blues, and start walkin’ in Memphis, check out some of my pro tips for enjoying the city.
Act like a local: Everyone says to go to The Rendezvous, but you’ll find the best Memphis barbecue at Central or the Commissary. Not a meat-eater? Try the vegan pancakes at Café Eclectic.
Listen: There’s no shortage of spots to listen to music in the City of Blues. Check out upcoming shows at “The Shell” outdoor venue, reserve a table for a drink and a show at Lafayette’s, or stop by a Memphis classic — B.B. King’s Blues Club.
