Description:
Drove around the downtown area a lot. Great riverfront. So many neighborhoods in transition right by the main strip. Also: a few gated communities right in the urban core. We stopped to reflect at the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King was shot and talked to Jacqueline Smith, who has been holding a one-woman civil-rights protest across the street for a long time. She gave me a copy of an article about her in German. We stayed on the sixth floor of the downtown Sleep Inn: sweet.
