About “Beale Street Landing Now at $33 Million,” by John
Branston:
“Ah, quit yer whining … it’s chump change. Beale Street Landing is
a very important and necessary element needed to complete our
riverfront trifecta:
1. The Pyramid — unoccupied, destined (don’t hold yer breath)
to become the world’s largest bait shop.
2. Mud Island — nice museum, cute river replica, but an
under-utilized amphitheater and let’s don’t get started on the
restaurant. Overall, it’s the Mid-South’s most expensive fireworks
staging area.
3. Beale Street Landing — a $33 million steamship dock, except
steamships don’t come by here anymore.” — B
