Frasier used to be a nice place as my former in-laws lived on Whitney. Then they had to put bars on their windows and a remote garage door opener. Then they moved to Bartlett. From 1977 until 1990 I watched the neighbourhood go from a nice urban setting to a racial rathole.

Until 2 yrs ago we lived in Scenic Hills off Whitney. Just down from the Nike plant. It’s a well kept up neighborhood, racially mixed. Now it’s not safe to walk at night.

Home prices have been stagnate since Frasier became a rat hole for thugs and crime and Sec 8.

Most of Raleigh Springs Mall is empty, a few niche stores are all that is left, it is a eyesore. They rob the Hancock Fabric store frequently. Shop lifting those $50+ dollar irons. Or just plain robbing the till. I am surprised it is still open.

Our Optician retired after his store was robbed 3 times is a short time frame. His business was on Austin Peay just up from the Mall.

Bartlett is starting to go down hill on the Memphis side. County side is better kept.
