What is Memphis' one-and-only landmark street?
Its Sunset Boulevard, Broadway, Toulouse Street? Not Beale, that's just a tourist attraction. Not Main, not Poplar, not American Way....
It's the old entry road from the east, named after a long-forgotten general, Summer Avenue.
See what Memphians really need, a car, some guns and ammo, cheap booze, and spiritual advice. See what is left of the once famous Pat's Pizza, where Elvis and The Panterburns used to hang out.
Summer Avenue, a book for anyone who ever shopped, stopped or drove though Summer Ave. And for those who never dared.
Because you haven't seen Memphis if you haven't seen Summer Avenue.
"a terrific art show." The Commercial Appeal.
