Nicki to Memphis"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The next phase of Nicki&#8217;s education has taken her from the pastoral settings of eastern Tennessee to the urban mix of downtown Memphis.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll miss Harrogate and New Tazewell, and the great motorcycle riding that Appalachia provided, but Memphis is full of interesting sites as well.<\/p>\n<p>When we arrived in Memphis, we unpacked the moving truck in a brick-paved alley between buildings.\u00a0 It was 105 degrees, and humidity was quite high.\u00a0 Between the moving truck and the Yukon XL, we blocked traffic in the alley for much of the day, but somehow managed to get Nicki&#8217;s items into her 5th floor studio apartment without making much of a scene.\u00a0 She&#8217;ll be in Memphis for the next 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Nicki&#8217;s apartment is nestled into the heart of downtown Memphis, with the famous<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peabody_Hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Peabody Hotel <\/a>at one end of her alley and Main Street and its trolleys at the other.\u00a0 Everything is within walking distance, including <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/AutoZone_Park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoZone Park<\/a>, home of the Memphis Redbirds, a minor league baseball affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure this next year will go by very quickly, so enjoy Memphis, Nicki!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3060 gallery-columns-3
