You'll be about 30-45 minutes away from Memphis, TN and Beale St. is certainly worth a visit if you're into live music!

It's a pretty good site, handy for plotting stuff yourself and some of the existing runs are great. Just nice to have a selection of routes without having to trailblaze them. Now I shall go to the 'Internet Widow' entry and apologise to your wife for providing yet another internet based distraction :D No worries.

Should be some pretty damn good barbecue in that neck of the woods too. Check http://www.mapmyrun.com for runs in the area (sure you already have).

Not really too much in the way of that in the MS/TN area this time of year. No college sports either. Atlanta would be quite the drive/flight, but I suppose you could go for that, but Atlanta is about 367 miles away from Olive Branch. I would suggest going for a little minor league baseball action. It's way less expensive and you can still have a great time. Some of the local teams are the Mississippi Braves (Pearl, MS), the Memphis Redbirds, the West Tenn. Diamond Jaxx (Jackson, TN), along with many others in the MS/TN/Alabama area. Here is a link to all of the minor league baseball teams in that area: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/info/geographical.jsp?mc=_alabama That's really all there is in terms of pro sports in that area... unless you wanted to catch some Women's basketball action (WNBA), but that would take you out to Texas or Atlanta, so that's a bit of a trip. If you wanted more information about that, try www.wnba.com, and check out some of the Texas teams (San Antonio and Houston). The same goes for soccer/football if you want to see some American soccer at www.mlsnet.com and see the Houston and Dallas teams if you don't mind making the trip. I don't really live in the area, but I'm a pretty avid sports fan and thought I'd be able to offer you some advice just knowing about sports. Good luck! Pro sports?
