Is there one spot in our brains where we keep memories?

As far as I can recall, "yes." Fortunately we don't have to remember where that spot is in order to access it. If we did, I would have it a lot worse than just constantly misplacing my keys.

It was Dr.Wilder Penfield who discovered in the 1930s that memories are found in one place when he literally touched off a patient's vivid recollections while operating on her. Dr. Penfield's patient was conscious because the brain has no nerve endings and often only requires a local anesthetic for brain surgery. He was electrically probing different parts of her brain to make sure he didn't cut something vital when suddenly she started recalling her past.

The scientific name for the spot he touched sounds like the place where big mammals go to college: the "hippocampus." It's just below your temples, in case you need to jolt your own memory.
