re: Living in Memphis

Drove through Memphis (coming in on I-22 from Alabama) a fee weeks ago for the first time in years and was shocked how bad it was. I know there are nice areas but the area of town you come into coming from Tupelo is a complete sh##hole. Abandoned buildings, trash everywhere, and pothole filled roads. Even the edge of the suburbs on the Mississippi side which I expected to be much nicer were drab and depressing.
