after you've seen this amazing spot head down to mississippi and actually let's go stop for
lunch really quick at airport grocery this is not a spot you go to if you are on a diet
one of my favorite things to eat here were the tamales

below if you've ever traveled to this area i'd love to know all right let's keep it going
but for now we're at the grammy museum and there's two of these
in the world in hollywood california and one here in cleveland mississippi
eighty percent of this museum is about the grammy awards but
they're just really cool exhibits to look at or
listen to and one of my favorite things was going through their pop-up exhibit which was on mtv
home of the blues and in a spot where railroad workers would stay for just a night or two
welcome to the travelers hotel
really like this spot let me tell you why back in the 1920s when this was built
it used to be like dormitory style where there was a shared bathroom
and all you got was a bed and a sink as a railroad worker they newly renovated this
in 2018 it's got 20 rooms it's a non-profit and they also have a location in new orleans
there's just a lot of history and a lot of cool things to look at in this spot
but let's head out because here in clarksdale mississippi they have some of the best
music i got to experience and the first one starts at deets
deak's mississippi saxophone and blues emporium is
all about harmonicas and you can get a private show which deke is on fire
afterwards head to ground zero blues club named the number one blues club in the nation
by bestbluesclubs.org but we had such a good performance here i loved it
and afterwards go catch an amazing dinner at hooker grocer what's really cool is all
of these spots are easy easy easy walking distance from each other
clarksdale has a lot to offer it's super welcoming super small and super good music
let's keep the eating going because we have two more amazing musicians to visit
so as though you didn't get enough dinner last night go stuff yourself the next morning
at grandma's house of pancakes before taking the drive to the bb king museum
what's really special about this spot is that it's not just about bb king's music it's
about his life and how it was a challenge for him to be traveling 365 days a year
on a bus in two places where during this time he had to deal with whites only bathrooms and
not necessarily being accepted everywhere he was performing
it's a fantastic museum a must visit if you're in the area but next after this
take the long drive out to tupelo
very humble beginnings it was so cool to see the house that was built by elvis's father
elvis born in 1935 with so much of his music being inspired by gospel music
at the museum the elvis presley birthplace you get the history of his life
a really cool experience and don't miss nearby
seeing the place he bought his first guitar you can get a full tour and it's a really fun stop
and one thing i was so surprised by is the hotel what a vibe
enjoyed staying at hotel tupelo the service is fantastic
the rooms are super comfortable and you can go drink mead nearby
such a great experience and a great dinner experience as well so much fun in tupelo
if you had some fun with me in today's video cheers that like button and tell
me in the comments below if you'd ever come out to this area you should definitely check it out
and i will see y'all in the next adventure ciao
