That’s how Germantown, Cordova, and Millington got going. Now there isn’t much of a difference there either, and the crime is deadly out there because of the perceived bigger score for the crime. I prefer mid-town and it’s good side.
Cordova is the modern day Hickory Hill (Hickory Hood). Just stay where you are in Midtown and let the criminals pass over you as they follow “Whitey” further east. I live in Berclair (Summer/Perkins) and it’s not too bad over here yet.
