A friend and I are planning a trip for mid to late September so I thought I would ask for input from you guys. We will either make it a long weekend or maybe a Monday through Friday type thing. We will fly into whatever city we choose and then rent a car to get around the surrounding area.
Our two choices at this time are Detroit or Memphis, so my first question to you guys would be which one would you say would be the most fun to visit and offer the most entertainment value?
As for some other questions:
If we chose Detroit, obviously the Motown Museum would be a must see. But are there other attractions in Detroit itself that should not be missed or would our time be better spent using our rental car to travel the rest of the state and use Detroit mainly as our airport connection?
If we chose Memphis, what are the major features other than the usual things you hear about such as Beale Street, river cruises, and Graceland? Would there maybe be enough to do in Memphis itself that a rental car would not even be necessary?
Speaking of Beale Street, would it be better to go there on a weekend? I just had this picture that maybe it would be less lively on a Monday or Tuesday night and that maybe we wouldn't get the full experience on a weeknight.
I think that covers our main questions. Any input will be appreciated since we have never been to either place. Thanks!
