Did you happen to notice the logo at the end of that clip? I've been robbed!
We published that over a year ago and it was truly one of those viral videos, it was featured on CNN, and few other TV shows and all over the net. It was fun to watch the site traffic go through the roof and by the end of the week APC was in the triple digits in terms of net traffic.
And such was our 15 minutes of fame.
Of course this version is much better (and has been for a few years!):

Awesome! The things I miss about MEM is Beale Street, Rum Boogie Cafe (best live music in the country), Graceland, Brother Juniper's (best breakfast), Boscos (best micro brew pub in MEM), Memphis in May music fest and the afternoon push at FedEx.
What I don't miss are the bums always scamming you anywhere you go
"Hey man I need some money for a bus ticket to Memphis"
"But you're already here".
"Oh, well can I get some money 'cause my ole lady just kicked me out and I need some place to get a drink".
"I thought that was your ole lady right next to you"
"Well man are you gonna give me some money or what?"
"I'm undercover, go away"
The meth lab explosions around 1 am on the summer nights. MEM summer's period. And the fact that gourmet food is anything all you can eat.

Watch a redbirds game in the summer where the most expensive ticket is $16. Large beer is $6. Go over the Peabody hotel to the rooftop party. MEM is a good city. Especially if you are single. Summer is what some refer to as a target rich environment.

Outstanding. Wasn't that on the Express Airlines MX ramp? I flew the Saab for a little while and knew it was a tough airplane. Everything is pretty much still intact it looks like. I wish they had built some planes with jet engines on them. They would have owned the RJ market if they had done that. My only gripe is it needed about 25% more power and an APU for those hot summer days.
