FYI, Memphis is rolling up the sidewalks right now at 10pm. All restaurants and bars have to close.

The Parachute inn is the diner in the 737 at ARG. I believe it is closed now though, there has been talk of re-opening it, not sure if that has happened yet.

I am based in Memphis and you really can't beat M01, Dewitt Spain for heading downtown. AWM, OLV, NQA - they all have their place for different reasons. Tune is a slam dunk in Nashville. I did fly into BNA last weekend and was pleasantly surprised with how that went. Controllers were fantastic...

I was on a business trip, sitting in my hotel room watching planes obviously on final go by eye level out of the window. Started looking a bit and fount CTYZ, Billy Bishop Toronto City less than two miles away. Re-arranged some meetings, called down to the field, rented 172 and circling the CN...

Moving out to Germantown adds another great option for BBQ, the Commissary. But doesn't add too much to the stuff to do. OLV would still put you about the same time wise as AWM or M01. Downtown - BassPro (it is worth a walk thorugh), Beale (be gone by 10pm), Peabody lobby piano bar, Gibson...

It is very easy to get into M01, the shelf doesn't pose much problem. Memphis and area is the true definition of 'flatlands' and plenty of room under the shelf. The bridge to the south and there are some towers NE of the field (hence the right traffic over the river). The runway is right on the...

AWM is my home field and is great, just across the river from Downtown. As Cooter stated, M01 would be a little closer and is fine as well. BBQ in Memphis is very subjective - It is ALL good at some level. With downtown in consideration - Rendezvous for ribs ( and ribs only) and Central BBQ...
