When you grow up in an area, you often overlook the area that you grew up in. I had the pleasure of growing up in East Memphis and there is so much to offer. When you define East Memphis it truly is an area that encompasses a great deal of space.
Typically from the Walnut Grove-Union-Poplar interchange East to the Germantown City limits encompasses East Memphis. Over the past few years there has een a great deal of migration from the Downtown area of the city into East Memphis. About 15 years ago or so Union Planters Bank (which is now Regions Bank) moved their Main Office to East Memphis, right out on the Poplar Avenue Corridor (the largest strip in Memphis). Poplar Ave is also known as U.S. Hwy 72. You have some of the best of the best restaurants in Memphis in East Memphis including Corky's Bar-b-que, Flemings, Sharky's, Ronnie Grisanti, and so many others.
Many of the premier downtown law offices have also moved to East Memphis. One of the best known hearing clinics in the world, The Shea Clinic is also in East Memphis. East Memphis is also home to some of the more trendy private schools ... Christ Methodist Day School (where I went to Elementary School), PDS (also known as Presbyterian Day School), Memphis University School and The Hutchison School which during my school years was known as the Miss Hutchison School. The public schools aren't bad either. You have White Station High School and Junior High School (two separate campuses) which are known for academics and athletics. Then there is Overton High School which is a school for the arts and has one of the best instrumental and vocal music programs in the area.
So when you visit Memphis check out East also. Our city is more than Graceland and Beale Street. And if you have clients moving to Memphis, remember that I will take great care of them in helping them find the home of their dreams.
