Memphis has been the armpit of the world forever. The only place out of dozens where I have lived that I hated. Loved Miss. though.
“Memphis has been the armpit of the world forever.”
Not true at all. I was born there, 1944, and raised there.
It WAS a great city with the distinction of cleanest, quietest, with the best fire department and utility district
in the country.
It was a city with great public schools and southern hospitality.
This was all UNTIL the blacks became the majority,
Memphis then started straight down the tubes.
This started in the 70s.
