It’s a gritty city but I felt like it was closer to BR in that the bad areas are kept to certain areas and aren’t all over like New Orleans.
Basically
Some poster alluded earlier that Memphis was much more quarantined whereas NOLA is good or bad street to street. While I agree NOLA is worse in that regard I do not consider that point altogether true.
The northern cities are the only truly segregated ones. Memphis is on a level where it can be anywhere from 4-10 blocks nice and they the same size over the hood, like a checkerboard.
But truly bad areas? Like you are for sure gonna get killed/robbed? Yeah those are prettying quarantined

Hickory Hill and Fox Meadows were like Germantown/Collierville until the late 90’s.
I started life in Parkway Village. The cottonwood cabanas, to be exact. Then we got fancy and moved to a house a block west of Wooddale High School. The REALLY fancy and over by the Fox Meadows golf course. Then my dad got a promotion and we moved to Germantown. But at least until my mid 20s... you could still live in Parkway village. Used to buy shoes at a shoe store there. Had a little train in the back.
Then, within a year, you didn't dare go there. Hickory Hill/Fox Meadows wasn't far behind at all. It was overnight, almost.
Rather sad. And now... that entire area has gone basically Mexican. With a 20 foot tall Buddha statue thrown in for good measure.

Can't beat the food in N.O. but the bar bq ribs in Memphis are incredible. The international bar bq festival there has well over 1000 vendors cooking ribs over 3 days.

That’s at Cottonwood and Perkins? It’s crazy.
I lived in a house on Starsdale for awhile. It was a bunch of bartenders living in a 5 bedroom house. Neighbors hated us.

The original closed. There is a Fox Ridge on Germantown Pkwy I think.
Malco Majestic used to be THE theater. Like Paradiso is today. Grandparents took us to see a movie on the opening night of Fast and Furious.. we never returned.

New Orleans. Not even close.

I dont get the nola cuisine thing. Lots of fried food. Give me an example of something Nola has that you cant get anywhere.
I wouldnt choose a place for cuisine either way. You can cook or find restaurants of all types. Like memphis bbq. You can still find good bbq other places.

I grew up on the theatre at the Hickory Ridge Mall and the smaller one a couple of miles east Winchester Court. Majestic was incredible when it opened, didn’t take long for it to get run down. That part of Winchester seems to be creeping towards Collierville

I can guarantee the posters speaking about Memphis being a shite hole haven’t been in the past 5 years
Left there last year after being there for 5 years. In all fairness, the downtown area has totally transformed. However, frick that place. The weather is shite 10.5 months a year, the entire city is sketchy as shite, and the restaurant scene is trash for a city that large. East Shelby county is phenomenal suburbs, but Memphis proper needs to be burned down.
