If you're wanting to get drunk with a bunch of hicks and knock boots with intoxicated bar hounds, you may not find anyone warming up to you.

But, I gotta give you your dues. You "get along" with black people. That's respectable. We really need more people who just simply tolerate people of another race.

Thank You. Im going to Orbitz soon to book this trip.

Where is a good dive bar where people play Cash and Haggard on the jukebox and drink beer from a bottle alongside a small chaser of Jaeger?

I think Munford, TN would have plenty of hole in the wall bars and enough Blue Collar Comedy refrences to split your sides!

I know of a place that you may like -- but it's in Nashville, not Memphis. It's called Roberts Western World. You should definitely pay it a visit.

Memphis is definitely more urban than country, a lot of people are not aware of that. They think "south" and think of banjos and cowboys boots

Anyone know what the deleted comment was? I don't think that I've been on here all day.

I think I remember seeing some comment about a child molester in the area. I didn't pay much attention to it.
