50 States: Tennessee (12/50) | March 2011
Another shot from the March mini tour with Calm Palm Vapor, but this one is kind of faked. It’s actually the other side of the bridge from THIS photo.
Before I started the 50 States project, I’d been to Tennessee before. However, I had such a miserable time once in Nashville that I didn’t really want to go back (Sorry to any pro-Volunteers). On our drive from Chicago to Little Rock, I hijacked the van on I-40 for a brief loop through Memphis so I could grab my shot.
Don’t judge me. You’d have done the same. 12 down, 38 to go.
50 States: Arkansas (10/50) | March 2011
This trip with the Calm Palm Vapor boys was my favorite part of last winter (…because I wasn’t in Chicago). Heading south and getting a reprieve from 4 feet of snow and frigid temperatures was one of the most zen (for lack of a better word) times I’ve ever had.
Everyone in town was super friendly. Sipping mimosas at brunch with strangers and walking around in early March without a coat through downtown Little Rock can’t be beat. If that town were an eBay merchant, I am rating it as “would definitely buy again”.
