Memphis isn't safe, Nashville is just overwhelmed with beggars, bums, and mentally ill on the main street asking for handouts.

My granddad and gramma used to live on Chikasaw Road, back when you could ice skate at the Metro Mall.

Nashville is fine.

Memphis is completely different. Don’t come here unless you know what you’re doing.

When I retire I’m purchasing an armored personnel carrier to take tourists on “the ‘hood after dark” tours.

I believe I have to get a license for the Vulcan cannon though.

I spent a few nights in Columbia TN. Nothing much there but the Farmer’s Family buffet is awesome.
