Memphis was always a tough town, now it’s down right hideous. Other than Graceland (barely), I can’t think of any other reason to go there. It’s become a toilet. I guess while continuing to vent “rage” the potential victims will find any way they can to get out, as they have been for decades. Another doo doo town.
My daughter has traveled all over the world alone, on the cheap, hostels the like. She lived in Philly and San Francisco. Traveled Seoul alone, backpacked through all of SE Asia alone, lived in Nicaragua and visited Honduras, Costa Rica and Uruguay. About 5 years ago she and I went through Memphis and walked Beale Street for a hour or two. She told me that was the only city she has ever felt unsafe in. She was spooked. I admit that her saying that unnerved me somewhat.
