Memphis guy just hit me up for money in a Waffle House parking lot in SC.

When he said he was from Memphis, I immediately thought of everyone on here who talks about how crappy Memphis is and how ppl should be afraid.

Memphis is a good place to visit. I love blues and BBQ.

But there's no way I'd ever live there.

Memphis is terrible. Three 6 Mafia is a pretty honest portrayal.

Memphis makes Detroit look like Beverly Hills.

Me too unfortunately Memphis killed the blues a long time ago & good BBQ is few & far between.

BTW I grew up in Memphis & used to go to Beale St before they "homogenized" it.

Dear GetCocky11,

No.

We have been here is one form or another for at least 350-400 years. It took us a long time to get this way. What makes you think we are going to change?

Stubbornly Yours,
Memphis

I bet 75% of the people who talk shite about Memphis on this board have never left downtown and therefore have zero basis for their negative comments.

I'm not saying it's Eden, but this is just a case of the TD hive mind.

Wrong. I have been in all parts of the city and can confirm it is worse than Lagos, Nigeria.

I probably wouldn't have been as on edge, but I was in an area with a history of robberies and shootings. Maybe SC does need to get its shite together.

The first Night I ever spent in Memphis there was a drive-by shooting next to the back of the property we were staying. I watched through an iron fence as the homicide investigators cased the scene.

The drive-by occurred just 30 minutes prior to our checkin

Most of Memphis is ghetto as frick. The southeastern edge of the city is nice but that's it.

What? It's godawful all the way from downtown to Mississippi. There's one area of SE that is okay and midtown is alright. But north, south, and downtown are all terrible.

I said 'hardly any.' Unfortunately Wild bills is a rarity.

I do like Memphis more than most though.
