The South Main District emerged from the 1920s hustle and bustle of the train station boom era – in Memphis, this meant Union Station and Central Station. For over 40 years, the area’s businesses catered to railroad passengers and employees with a wide variety of hotels, bars, restaurants and other family owned businesses.
