点评:Remember the climactic chase scene in the 1993 movie The Firm when Tom Cruise rides the monorail connecting Mud Island to downtown Memphis in a desperate attempt to evade his pursuers? Well, the monorail was suspended in 2018 and the Mississippi River Museum, another Mud Island site that was involved in Cruise's pursuit, closed in 2019. In fact, it once had an airport, which was shut down in 1970. And the 5,000-seat Mud Island Amphitheater, which once attracted Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Peter Frampton, has gone unused since 2018. But there still is plenty to see. Mud Island is a peninsula in Memphis, bordered by the Mississippi River to the west, the Wolf River to the north and Wolf River Harbor to the east. The major features are Mud Island River Park and the Harbor Town residential neighborhood, which has a population of 14,548 and includes mansions, single-family homes, apartment complexes, hiking trails, ponds, a shopping district and a private school. Mud Island River Park opened in 1982. Located on the south end of the peninsula, it features bike trails, paddle boats, kayaks and a 2,000-foot-long hydraulic scale model of the lower Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois, to New Orleans. The model includes plaques with details about the river's history. Visitors can take a lunch or dinner break at one of three restaurants in the River Inn of Harbor Town -- Paulette's, Tug's Casual Grill or Terrace at the River Inn. Try the BBQ cheddar smash burger at Tug's.
翻译:还记得1993年电影《糖衣陷阱》中汤姆·克鲁斯乘坐连接泥岛和孟菲斯市中心的单轨列车,拼命摆脱追捕者的惊险追逐戏吗?这条单轨列车已于2018年停运,而与克鲁斯追逐戏相关的另一处泥岛景点——密西西比河博物馆也于2019年关闭。事实上,泥岛曾经拥有一座机场,但已于1970年关闭。而曾吸引鲍勃·迪伦、埃里克·克莱普顿和彼得·弗兰普顿等音乐巨星的拥有5000个座位的泥岛露天剧场,自2018年以来也一直处于闲置状态。不过,泥岛仍然有很多值得一看的地方。泥岛是孟菲斯的一个半岛,西临密西西比河,北临沃尔夫河,东临沃尔夫河港。该地区的主要景点包括泥岛河滨公园和港口镇住宅区。港口镇拥有14,548位居民,包括豪宅、独栋住宅、公寓楼、远足步道、池塘、购物区和一所私立学校。泥岛河滨公园于1982年开放,位于半岛南端,设有自行车道、脚踏船、皮划艇,以及一条2000英尺长的密西西比河下游水力模型,从伊利诺伊州开罗市延伸至新奥尔良市。模型上配有铭牌,详细介绍了河流的历史。游客可以在港口镇河滨旅馆的三家餐厅之一享用午餐或晚餐,这三家餐厅分别是:Paulette's餐厅、Tug's Casual Grill餐厅和Terrace at the River Inn餐厅。不妨尝尝Tug's餐厅的招牌菜——BBQ切达奶酪碎汉堡。
