President Obama Visits Memphis

There never seems to be a dull moment working downtown.  Last week we were watching the Mississippi River slowly rise and then today we were watching President Obama drive by our office!

Booker T. Washington High School submitted a video to compete for President Obama's commencement speech and wouldn't you know, they won!  He landed at 10 am at the local navy base and by 10:30ish he was driving by our building.  (The pictures aren't very good, but this was our view from the 10th floor)

They had the interstates blocked for about 20 minutes before his arrival

I'm glad I wasn't one of the people stuck on the bridge, I probably would have had a panic attack!

There he is

I couldn't keep up with the number of cars in the escort

There he is again (he's either in this car or the one before it)
