Memphis Postcards 8

This installment from my series of antique Memphis postcards features the Pink Palace Museum and the Downtown River Front.  The Pink Palace is still serving as one of Memphis' best museums, and while the river front has changed somewhat, several of the buildings visible in this card still stand tall, including the Lincoln American Tower and the Sterrick Building.
