Off topic: Walking in Memphis

I'm pretty smitten with my hometown. And I really love old buildings. Here are some interesting ones I've seen lately. 
The Chisca Hotel
The Chisca Hotel was in danger of being torn down, but is now going to be renovated. It's a beautiful old building.

Melrose School

The old Melrose building is in the Orange Mound neighborhood of Memphis. Apparently there's an awesome staircase inside. 
The Pontotoc Hotel
This may not look like much, but I bet a lot of interesting things went on here. I heard that people who performed at the nearby Orpheum Theatre used to stay here. 
Damn Right
Ok, this isn't an old building--it is, however, a supercool mural in Memphis' Soulsville neighborhood.

Happy Sunday!
