Living in Downtown Memphis you move to a different beat. Some days it’s the flow of the river, some its a slow-cooked funky blues hall step, and others its the methodical rhythm of the trolley moving down the tracks.

The Lofts is located in the Downtown cross section of the South Bluffs neighborhood and the South Main Arts District. Its nearest neighbor is EMERGE, an incubator for businesses and non-profits that deliver creative energy to their clients everyday. The beat of the Lofts’ neighborhood is ever changing. With a trolley stop at the front door that takes you to “all things Downtown” this is the ideal place to experience the best of Memphis. And the city has a lot of that to offer. But don’t take our word for it. Here are a few of our favorite sites and blogs that will give you a sense of what the Memphis vibe is all about:
