Culture section[edit]

I feel as though Memphis deserves a culture section, it is a very unique city in America, including sites like Elvis’ Graceland. The Egyptian connection is somewhat unique as well: the massive bass pro shop pyramid, the University of Memphis’s renowned Egyptology department, and even the facade to their zoo is an Egyptian homage. Let me know what you think and how this section could potentially be filled out Utopiayouser (talk) 07:27, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wolf River[edit]

Why is no mention of this river made in the article? It flows through the city to the Mississippi River. - - Prairieplant (talk) 00:20, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
