Places to park a bus at night: Across the street from the Pyramid. Just straddle (and pay) for two car spots.
Must-see club: Raiford's, 115 Vance Ave (a couple blocks down from Beale Street).

We found out about Raiford's from the bartender at Automatic Slim's (83 S 2nd St). He included it among his three must-see clubs (we told him we'd never been to Memphis and were here for only one night). The other two clubds were B.B. King's and The Lounge.
