| Bluff City | г. Мемфис (As the pilot episode of "Bluff City Law" aired Monday night, some viewers might wonder how the nickname was coined for the city of Memphis. Memphis got its nickname because of the city's physical location, according to former Shelby County Historian Jimmy Ogle. There are several bluffs along the Mississippi River near Memphis. Located 60 miles away from downtown Memphis is the High Bluff in Fort Pillow, Tennessee. Forty miles north of Memphis is the Chickasaw Bluff, a high ground rising 50 to 200 feet above the Mississippi River. The closest bluff to downtown Memphis is located at Madison Ave. near the University of Memphis Law School. Taras) |
