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.
I’m with you brother. I carry religiously and am a member of the USCCA for just that reason.

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.
Well that’s encouraging but when we visited it was bad, compared to what it was especially even as late as the 80s. I’m talking the Danny Owens Memphis years and the Willie what’s his name Memphis years.
My office used to be on Winchester so it was a quick drive down Old Highway 78 back and forth between home where I could stop and visit aunts and uncles along the way for a home cooked meal. The same little grocery store that was at the entrance to Maywood had been there since the 1920s when my grandfather would walk down from his house for tobacco there.
I get south of Goodman and north of Church .... hell, Jerry Lee had a place over there not far off of Davidson Road, I can’t remember the name of the lake, where we had some hellacious parties back in the day. That’s a nice area.
I get what you are saying and, as you stated, things are changing fast.

Where did that false flag thread go?

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.
Are these posts for real?
I am honestly asking because I have never heard anything bad about those two areas. I have noticed they stopped growing as quickly as they were.

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.
Northwest Mississippi is a disaster. Glad I live in TN

I was talking with a woman in my office who lives in Lewisburg yesterday about schools in Desoto. I was kind of surprised when she said Olive Branch High School and Southaven High School had both taken serious turns for the worse

When is the last time you’ve been here? And where all did you go?
If you’re talking about anything on Old 78 in Olive Branch that is honestly the only “shitty” area of Olive Branch, with a couple of rough neighborhoods east of there (Magnolia Estates, Chateau Ridge). There’s really nothing bad about Olive Branch, it’s quite nice for raising a family. Only downsides are it’s about as generic of a suburb as there is, with a real lack of non chain restaurants and any kind of nightlife.
Southaven is much more drastic of a shift in its highs and lows. Getwell road from Goodman to Starlanding might be the best overall area in DeSoto County (outside of really nice neighborhoods that are more secluded). But anything in north western Southaven might as well be Whitehaven, just more white people (who are generally pure trash). Southaven is like Olive Branch on steroids as far as generic suburb features, but there’s really not anything lacking as far as necessities.
The malls attract a very shitty element from Memphis. Southaven has 3 outdoor malls, all on Airways Blvd which runs north and south. They built the first one (which is right beside this Walmart), it starts getting shitty, then they build another one half a mile south. Rinse and repeat, they do it again another half mile south, the most recent being Tanger Outlets.
I really don’t understand why they keep doing this when the results are clear what happens.
