    Beale Street wasn't always famous. It wasn't always such a tourist destination. And for a period,…read moreit wasn't anything much at all. That changed and these notes in the ground honor the people who helped make this area what it is - disc jockeys, promoters, musicians and music supporters. A few examples. Elvis Presley (1935-1977), the King of Rock and Roll. Robert Leroy Johnson (1911-1938). One of the first musicians inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and ranked as one #5 of the top 100 Guitarists of All Time. B.B. King (1925-2015). The "Beale Street Blues Boy" and Grammy Award winner. Jerry Lee Lewis (1935-2022). Wrote the "Great Balls of Fire" and continued performing late into life. Otis Redding (1941-1967). In 1962, Otis recorded "These Arms of Mine". Walk the walk. read the Notes and read up on these great folks. Nearly 200 Notes so far. [Review 19858 overall - 410 in Tennessee - 831 of 2023.]

Elkington's idea for the Beale Street Brass Note Walk of Fame offered this connection, as visitors from all over the world can read the names of the talented people who put Memphis music & Beale St on the map. There were brief biographies of the honorees, offering a glimpse into the lives of the musicians, composers, disc jockeys, promoters & music supporters whose names grace the sidewalks of Beale Street.

    Corinth Historical District - Borroum's Drug Store ca. 1940s

    One legendary business downtown that is deserving of a visit is Borroums Drug Store. It was founded…read morein 1865 by former CSA army surgeon A.J. Borroum. It is the oldest drug store in continuous operation in Mississippi. It is considered a "free museum" also because they have on display, Native American arrowheads, Civil War relics, and an authentic, working soda fountain. This business has been owned and operated by the Borroum family since its founding. I worked at Borroum's for a short time. I remember listening to Mrs. Camille recall an incident from her childhood of her and her father being held up at shotgun point. Mrs. Camille was the first certified female druggist in the state of Mississippi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt0ugLzb2ws&sns=em Some locals can be seen talking about Corinth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFmD_7VjXg0&sns=em Biggers Hardware opened in 1918 and has been a mainstay in the community ever since. The store's ownership is in the fourth generation of the Biggers family. December 7,1874, three to four members of the Jesse James-Cole Younger gang rode into Corinth with a plan to rob the Tishomingo Savings Institution. Refusing to cooperate, the bank owner, Alonzo Taylor, allegedly told them, "I'd rather be in hell than in Corinth without money". The outlaws escaped with $15,000. Back in the late 1980s I lived in a small rental house and the landlord claimed that the gang rode through a part of the land, even pointing to the general area in which they rode. Corinth native, Roscoe Turner is the only Mississippian in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio. Turner is the only three-time winner of the Thompson Trophy Race. He also established the cross-country airplane speed record in 1925. One of Turner's planes is featured in the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institute. There is a small airport named after Turner http://www.yelp.com/biz/roscoe-turner-airport-corinth In 1955, Elvis, Scotty and Bill were to have two performances in the Alcorn County Courthouse/Assembly hall. The shows were sponsored by the Corinth Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) to help raise funds for a playground. It is said there were insufficient ticket sales to have one showing. While in town, Elvis was reputed to have visited Borroum's drug store and by the recollections of Camille Borroum Mitchell, local legend has it he was thought to have temporarily left his guitar there for some unexplained reason. Every year there are various celebrations and events held downtown, such as Hog Wild, Slugburger Festival and the Block Party. Roads are blocked off, talent shows are held, foods are cooked, carnival rides are set up and fun is had by all for a weekend at a time.
