Situated along the Wolf River Lagoon, the Pinch District is one of Memphis’ oldest neighborhoods as well as the city’s oldest commercial district. Today, the area is on the verge of a renaissance, with a major $1.1 billion redevelopment project underway.
Just north of Downtown, the Pinch District is home to high culture and distinctive architecture. The Cannon Center for the Performing Arts is at home in the neighborhood’s Main Street corridor, and local landmarks such as the eye-catching Memphis Pyramid are a short stroll away.
