Memphis Memories

As a follow up to my antique Memphis postcards, I've started following Ask Vance, the blog of Memphis history and trivia expert Vance Lauderdale.  (For those of you outside the area, the name is a pseudonym drawn from the intersection of two streets in Memphis).  One of the first posts I noticed was about some undeveloped film a local couple found at an estate sale.  Developing revealed a collection of photographs of Memphis from the 1940's, which the finder posted here.
