I noticed this 15 years ago when I traveled TN and nearby as a sales rep.
Inner city Memphis is a no-go after dark.

Count me surprised when International Paper moved from Connecticut to Memphis and kept most of their eastern employees.

Apparently during slavery times whitey would block ambulances from getting off the interstate on their way to the slave quarters, so this is payback.

Another thought...can anyone name an overwhelmingly non-hispanic white neighborhood that you’d hate to have a flat tire driving through?

Do you know what the three stars on the Tennessee flag represent?

Maybe because interstates are federal and if anything happens on the feds have special privileges over the local law enforcement?

Yes TN was the 16th state to signed and ratify the Constitution, and become a state in 1796...

13 for the original colonies and then TN was the 3rd after them...

The three regions of Tennessee: West Tennessee, Middle Tennessee, and East Tennessee.

People forget that the Interstate highway system was planned by Eisenhower as the National Defense Highway System, its primary purpose.

He’s the ‘interim’ Police Chief... looking to get a little ‘community’ support for himself. Make the gig permanent.

Very sad...grew up about 100 miles from Memphis, and in those days, it was a great place to go to see a concert, visit a mall or enjoy a good meal. There were dangerous neighborhoods in Memphis back in those days, but as long as you stayed out of places like Orange Mound, you had little to fear. I remember visiting relatives in Whitehaven, and it was a nice, middle-class suburb.

Forty years later, Memphis is literally Chicago on the Mississippi. Any one who could afford to leave—white, black, Hispanic—moved a long time ago. All of the growth in the metro area has been in eastern Shelby county, further east in Fayette County, and in northern Mississippi.

As I said in a previous post, Memphians should thank their lucky stars that Fred Smith decided to move FedEx from Little Rock to Memphis years ago. Many of the companies that were once headquartered in Memphis (such as Holiday Inn) bailed a long time ago.
