Memphis - Beale Street 
To the east of Riverside Drive is Beale Street. Little remains of its charm in the days when the blues resounded from along the street. Almost all the old buildings have been pulled down and replaced by replicas, and the music heard in the present-day establishments is often a mere shadow of the real thing. Even so, it is worth paying a visit to W.C. Handy's house (325 Beale St.), Handy Park and especially A. Schwab's Dry Goods Store at No. 163, founded in 1876 with the motto "If you can't find it a Schwab's you don't need it!"
