For folks who are interested, here's a link to a small album from our trip to Detroit.
Highlights include: Russian dinner-dancing spot, Perchikovsky-Filanovsky Memorial Day barbecue, Coney Island hot dogs in downtown Detroit, and a visit to some of ilya's nearest and dearest friends.
Happy weekend all.
I'm back!
Just returned from a long weekend in Memphis, where I reunited with my best friends from high school. We packed a lot into a short weekend: a road trip from Chicago, a visit to Graceland, the National Civil Rights Museum, dancing on Beale Street, milkshakes and fried chicken, brunch at the historic Peabody Hotel (which, according to a friend of ours, is "the best thing about Memphis...other than the poverty.")
On that topic, I will say that I was struck by how desolate
downtown Memphis was, in spite of its rich musical and cultural
history. I snapped a few photos of the walk along Second Street from
our hotel to the National Civil Rights Museum [see below], because I
was so surprised at the landscape. Things were often boarded up,
rusting, unpeopled.
