In Memphis Part Four

On Parker's last day in Memphis he finally got to see what he had been waiting for, the city skyline (actually, it is what I really wanted to see, but I had to experience it vicariously through these photos.) He and his Grandmeh strolled around the penthouse roof top plaza enjoying the cool crisp air of Memphis (notice I didn't mention the adjective "fresh".) It was here that Parker experienced the strangest thing about Memphis all together, the penthouse & the roof top plaza didn't belong to the buildings owners, or to some important client or guest, but to the pets. You don't have to be a student of real estate to understand that this arrangement is quite nice (and pricey), but yet somehow the ducks can afford it. Parker says, "in a town where businessmen get paid too much to do too little, it shouldn't seem too odd that pets get such a good deal for such a short life."
