Observer Viewfinder Competition (win £150 in hotel vouchers)

Not much sport in solving this puzzle (bit too easy, they need to up their game a bit, even a big eejit from British mensa  could do this one ;-) ), anyways I'm pretty sure the name of the city they are looking for this week is Memphis, Tennessee.

The first picture shows some basketball players and mentions that " You might have to brave Grizzlies and Tigers in this city, named after a 5,000-year-old capital ".   There are teams called the Memphis Grizzlies and the Memphis Tigers and Memphis was an ancient capital of Egypt founded c 3000 bc, which would make it around 5000 years old.


Second picture, the Beale street music festival kicks off there in May 2012


Third/Fourth picture, 'Graceland' is the second most visited house in the USA, the first being the Teleprompter of the United State's (The Whitehouse). The 'moving' motel, is not one which literally moves but one which some people may subjectively find emotionally 'moving' (the Lorraine motel is a civil rights museum).


Link to the competition (not very easy to find on their site menu)
