I was born and raised in Memphis, back when it was the nation’s cleanest and quietest city, with good public education, the nation’s finest utility district (L,G,&W) all under one roof, and the nations finest fire department.
It is now 60 percent Afro, and they have taken over everything, destroying it as they go.
I have only one daughter left there, hanging on.
I moved to the country in 1972, and OUT OF the country (USA) in 2004.
Tell your daughter to be well. We live in north Mississippi & I used to go to Oak Court Mall & we met friends at The Rendezvous...................no more. The only time I go to Memphis is if I have no other choice but to fly somewhere. lying out of Memphis is a real treat. The TSA workers are the rudest anywhere & go out of their way to make life miserable. They might as well have a sign on their chest that says, “ I am bitter, angry, my life bites & I hate white people.” I’m sorry, but I HATE the Memphis airport.
People who remember Memphis like you do must be so heartbroken at its demise. We are going to go to the Brooks Museum sometime this month, but we will be home while it is still daylight.
