Getting anywhere in downtown Memphis on July 4th was nearly impossible (we later found out it was due to a string of shootings that had started at Tom Lee Park where people had gathered to watch the fireworks). I had to drive down Danny Thomas all the way to G. E. Patterson and park down by the civil rights museum. As I was walking back up South Main toward Beale, I saw the last of the fireworks being shot off from Mud Island.
