Memphis Beal Street is an awesome experience for blues music, food and old architecture. Below are a few pictures of signs with a lot character.

History:
Beale Street was created in 1841 by entrepreneur and developer Robertson Topp (1807–1876), Its western end primarily housed shops of trade merchants, who traded goods with ships along the Mississippi River, while the eastern part developed as an affluent suburb. In the 1860s, many black traveling musicians began performing on Beale. (Wikipedia,Beale Street)
