On behalf of us who are going to the MVPA convention and are not familiar
with Memphis I would like to ask some questions of anyone who is.

1) Could you describe the general vacinity of the convention center?

2) Is parking of things like vans & suburbans a problem in terms of finding
parking, affording parking, and will the stuff left in vehicles be there
when you get back?

3) If one cannot afford $84+ per night what options of those provided in
MVPA handout are advisable? Two cheaper places are listed as 'near the
Medical Center', where is this?

4) There are budget places like Motel 6 and Super 8 listed for West Memphis
(AR) near 40 and 55 junction which apears to be about 5 miles away (although
handout says 20) and also to the east near 40 and 240 which looks like 10
miles. Also some down by airport. Any recomendations?

5) In regard to #4 is it easier (in terms of time, traffic, and agrivation)
to cross the river on 40 to West Memphis or head east, appearently thru the
city, to the area past 240 on 40?

6) Are there any other site seeing attractions for people who are, lets say,
alittle more inteligent/technically minded? Graceland and hotel ducks just
don't cut it for me!

7) If one was going or comming from Tracy City is it better to take I40 &
I24 or hwy 64?

8) Lastly (for now) what can one expect for mid July weather?

Thanks
