Mogudeshu on the Mississippi

LOL; living just 80 miles East of there we call it Memfrica. The area North of West Tennessee is bordered by the Ohio River, East by the Tennessee and Tennessee-Tombigbee. The entire area could be isolated easily by a quake and bridge failure. Living in this area we are aware of the limitations and possibilities...the South is the Gulf. Jackson, MS and TN would both become hell holes also.

Most of my third novel takes place in your backyard, and the geography you mentioned is a big factor in the plotting. If you know where Shiloh is, you'll recognize the places.
