Memphis is replete with history, culture, and tradition. Places like Rendezvous, Graceland, and Beale St. get most of the attention, but that’s not the real Memphis. The real Memphis probably isn’t going to be listed in a brochure. The real Memphis is made up of places like Jerry’s Sno Cones.

It’s in a terrible location, almost impossible to find. It’s housed in a run-down building (though it does have a relatively recent paint job, pink!). Yet, people drive from all around Memphis to partake in Jerry’s Sno Cone goodness. I have to admit they really are amazing (How do they get the ice so fine?) Not to mention they are open all year.

We loaded up the kiddos and made our first visit to Jerry’s last week. The Melicks family, fellow MABTSers, introduced us to Jerry’s. Quite frankly, we hit it off real well. We’ll be back.

It wasn’t Sophia’s first snow cone, but probably the best she’s ever tasted. Pink Cotton Candy was her choice. It was delicious (How do I know? The ‘dad tax’ of course!).

The best thing about Jerry’s? Not the snow cones (though they are scrumptious). Not the hamburgers (Yup. They sell hamburgers. And cheese fries, too.). The best thing is the chance to step out of routine and be with friends. Words can’t express how grateful we are for the community we have here at MABTS.
