Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world. I'll take public transport and go anywhere.

Duck out to the Peabody Hotel
No trip to Memphis is complete without seeing the Peabody Hotel duck march.
The Peabody Hotel is a grandiose 1920s hotel located in downtown Memphis. The ducks march twice a day, 11am and 5pm, across the lobby to a musical fanfare. It's a tradition that's been going for 90 years.
A 11am the ducks waddle out of the elevator, down a red carpet to hang out the fountain of the hotel. At 3pm, the reverse happens. The ducks are gently herded in the right direction by a "Duckmaster".
When they are not playing the hotel fountain, the ducks live the high life in a rooftop penthouse.
The fountain is located in the foyer next to the bar. Follow the signs to locate it. Get there early to secure a good spot as it gets crowded. An alternative option is to buy a drink at the lobby bar and sit near the red carpet.
It's kitschy and cute. If nothing else,it's an excuse to use all your corny duck-related jokes.
