Stroll along the riverbank |
Riverside Drive (At Union) Memphis, TN 38103 United States |
Recently completed, after some controversy, the Walkway follows the bluff on the east bank of the Mississippi, along an area that has recently seen the development of housing that ranges from small, inexpensive duplexes, to midsize condominiums, to mansions owned by, among others, movie star Cybill Shepard. Many of the residents objected to this public walkway being built in their backyards. Others, however, enjoy the chance to stroll, away from the noise and danger of traffic, high on the bluff where the views of the river are incomparable. Review © 2007, Wcities |
