I am in Hernando and pass that Wal-Mart everyday on the way to work. Southaven, especially this area of Goodman Road, is overly congested and the infrastructure is way behind.
That Wal-Mart has been horrible for a long time. I haven't set foot in there in years.

Southaven is lost. Memphis has overrun it for the most part. Olive Branch is past the point of no return as well. Sad state for a once booming area.

Lived there for years. Was a great place to live. Built a fantastic home on Sylvan Lake in Maywood and went back to visit this past year. The people who bought it from me still live there but they’ve had to build a ten foot security fence around the property and most of the old timer people and young professionals have fled.

Such a shame. Olive Branch was a great place. Still have a couple of cousins, in their 70s, living there but they live just out of town deep in the woods and they tell me the place is done for, lost. Have had family living there since before the Civil War. Such a damn shame.

Glad I got outta that area. I lived way too close to the house where they found a body buried in the back yard in the subdivision next to NWCC Desoto center about 3 weeks or so ago.

Wish I could get my parents to leave Hernando but at least they're outside of the city limits enough to be away from all of that.

Would agree especially anything between Stateline and Goodman.

South of Goodman not so bad especially Church and Getwell... my in laws live around there...Church is the line they don't want Memphis crossing.

Thankfully you don't have to go through there anymore going to Tunica from Alabama.

That’s what we are hearing, as well. The store manager and one other was killed. He used to be a co manager at the Columbus MS store and was a good guy.

I have never been to that location but I drove by a Wal-Mart last night on my way home. That could have been me.

I grew up in Olive Branch and am currently living in Southaven. You are right that it is going downhill but it is not as bad as you’re implying.

There’s a combined stretch of OB and Southaven that is a great place to live and is steadily growing and improving, (Davidson rd in OB as the east boundary, Tchulahoma rd in Southaven as the west boundary, stateline road as the north boundary, and I269 as the south boundary). Currently that area is great, and I wish we could secede and incorporate as “getoutville”, but yeah it is inevitable it will be lost as is the way with everything around Memphis.

I plan on living here another 5-10 years and then building a house in the sticks of Marshall or Lafayette county, between Holly Springs and Oxford.

ETA: the north boundary of Getoutville should not go all the way to stateline rd, but it goes a little north of Goodman rd.

I don't know. I know it's not when I have to go in there to pick up something.

I have been called extreme, stupid and paranoid by a few people who found out that I will not enter a Walmart or any other retail store without carrying concealed.

The world is full of idiots and sociopaths and I'll be damned if my name will be on national news for getting gunned down while unarmed in a Walmart, buying groceries.

There's a lesson here about how not to deal with employees who threaten violence.

If the manager who sent him home yesterday had called the cops instead, there would have been no incident today.
