Roads and Junctions We Know in South Main
The South Main Arts District stretches along South Main Street from around Beale Street down toward Crump Boulevard, with the trolley running down the middle of Main. Key corners include Main Street at G.E. Patterson Avenue by Central Station, Mulberry Street at Huling Avenue by the Lorraine Motel, and Front Street at Butler Avenue near the bluff.
Crump Boulevard and the I-55 ramps lead to the Memphis and Arkansas Bridge, and Riverside Drive runs along the water below the bluff. Trucks heading for the bridge share these streets with tourists, so traffic can bunch up quickly at the Crump Boulevard junctions.
Landmarks and Things to Do in South Main
The National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel on Mulberry Street is the most important visit in the area, and it draws people from all over the world. Central Station, the restored rail station on Main Street, still serves Amtrak trains, and the Arcade Restaurant across the street has been serving breakfast for generations. Galleries, murals and small shops line South Main, and the district hosts a trolley night with open galleries on the last Friday of the month.
A short walk west, Big River Crossing lets you walk or bike across the Mississippi River on the old Harahan Bridge. Street parking and small lots fill up on busy evenings, so if your car will not start, tell us the block and the nearest landmark.
Weather and Your Car in South Main
Being close to the river means damp air and morning fog, which shows up weak headlights, worn wipers and fogged windows. When ice is forecast, the city and the state treat the bridges and ramps with brine. That salty spray gets into brake lines, fuel lines and the underside of the car, so a wash underneath after an icy spell helps the steel last longer.
The trolley rails on Main Street catch narrow tires and bend wheels when they are crossed at a shallow angle. If the car shakes at speed or pulls after you hit a rail, have the wheel, tire and alignment checked before the tire wears unevenly.

South Main Car Repair Questions
I parked near the Civil Rights Museum and my car will not start. Can you help?
Yes. Call 901-401-9868 with the street and nearest corner, and a mechanic will come to the car to test the battery, starter and connections.
Can trolley rails damage my car?
They can. Crossing the rails at a shallow angle can catch a tire, bend a wheel or knock the alignment out. If the car shakes or pulls afterward, have it checked.
Do you service cars at the South Main lofts?
Yes. Oil changes, brakes, batteries and many other repairs can be done in a building lot or garage where the property allows it.
Does road brine really affect my car in Memphis?
Yes. Brine used on bridges and ramps before ice is salty, and it speeds up rust on brake lines and the underside of the car. Rinsing underneath afterward helps.
