I was debating on how to feature this awesome piece of Memphis in a post, so here we go. As we all know, many business will be struggling over the next few days, weeks, and even months. We have no clue how long this will last, but it will sting in many, many ways.
As we have seen, many restaurants have resorted to take out services only. It is awesome to see some of these dining establishments fully open, but bear in mind that many of them are having to cut hours. This means that many employees are not able to earn their full daily, weekly, or even monthly wage.
Take Crosstown Concourse as an example. This is home to various restaurants from one of my personal favorites Farm Burger Memphis(though not local, but still an employer), to Global Cafe, to Saucy Chicken, to the wonderful and tasty Area 51 Ice Cream. Crosstown Concourse is such a beautiful piece of architecture with so much to offer one's taste buds. You can spice it up, pizza it up, sweeten it up, and caffeinate it up a little bit.
Know that you can enjoy something different each and every time you walk in the doors of this beautiful piece of architecture. This building once housed the old Sears, Roebuck and Company Catalog and Distribution Center. Some of this is still visible through the Concourse. It is even on the National Register of Historic Places. Do make sure your phone has a little more than 20% if you do plan to visit Crosstown and grab something super tasty to eat. There might be a few more photo op locations than eateries but you can definitely get your fill of both each time you come to visit.
Remember there are hard working local businesses all over your cities, towns, and counties doing what they can to whether the storm of Corona, or COVID-19 as some may refer to it. Pack up the kids, grab some pizza, and get some ice cream. Or call Farmburger, and make sure you get some of those sweet potato fries. I bet the weather may even be warm enough for you to eat outside of the Concourse as well. Once you finish your meal you can go back and hit up Lucy J's Bakery, or grab some ice cream at Area 51. For those who require it, I hear the coffee is excellent at French Truck Coffee. While you are it, do something awesome and check out the Crosstown Concourse website and download their Scavenger Hunt list. Click here.
