Memphis: Court Square (Location Key)

Court Square in Memphis, where in The Reivers Otis walks every day to the "fruit and peanut stand" run by "that I-talian" (139), was one of the four original parks laid out by the men who designed the city in 1819. According to The Mansion, in which Mink Snopes tries to sleep on a bench in the park, it is located amid "the tall buildings" of the city (316).
