Highway Lights - final edit

Concept for My Memphis, Take One

 - My Memphis focuses on the familiar structures and places of Memphis. (i.e., The bridges, new and old alike, the pyramid, South Main, Parts of Beale (historic aspects to be specific), and the Orpheum,  even the pinch and midtown. I'm thinking five or ten minutes at best?? depending on what the stipulations are. The audience is those willing to look beyond the majorly "touristy" surface of memphis, and maybe even go off the beaten path a little in Midtown sequences.

 - I want the emphasis to not be on the peabody place, the countless bars on beale, but the architecture and history right underneath the cheap, beer soaked facade.
