London - I am not getting into this again with you. You were kicked off for using racist words and swearing at forum members. Not the content of your opinion.

But you are focusing on a small percentage of the population of Memphis and Shelby County. I think you are doing Memphis and Shelby County a dis-service by being so negative. Yes we have problems, and as a member of the MPD you face it every day, but if even if the MPD has this opinion and is as negative about it as you, then the city will never survive.

"Where there is no vision, the people will perish". Remember this quote when making the assumption that your negative posts are helping anyone.

"Hope springs eternal"
My beverage spewed forth from my nose when I read this. Hilarious.

Collierville?!

WARNING. Some videos may contain offensive language. (And Im not talking about the poor grammar.)

The pervasive ghetto culture

YouTube - The State of Memphis

YouTube - Crackhead in Memphis

YouTube - Hood 2 hood memphis

YouTube - Hispanics in Memphis, Tennessee - BBC Exposé


YouTube - Tour Of North Memphis


YouTube - South Memphis Ghetto


YouTube - Part 2 South Memphis Ghetto


YouTube - Continuation of Part 2 South Memphis Ghetto


YouTube - Part 3 South Memphis Ghetto


From local media

YouTube - Eyewitness News Everywhere 2006

YouTube - Batwoman

YouTube - Armed Citizen - Memphis, Tennessee

YouTube - Butter Roll and Corn Roll - Wanted Dead or Alive

Our high schools

YouTube - Mac E at Northside High

YouTube - CODOVA GOING GHETTO

YouTube - DesLoc Piccalo @ B.T.W. High School

Our mayor, King Willie

YouTube - Memphis Mayor King Willie Herenton (SnappyGreetings.com)

Our Senator "I Feel Ya" Ophelia

YouTube - Senator Ford in the Gov Ops Subcommittee

Unfortunately no video of Edmund Ford's grandiose shenanigans could be found.
Yup, this is what the some of the spin doctors who are probably shilling for some Visitor's bureau do not want you to see. This is a good portrayal of city proper when it comes to the Memphis area.

If you are even remotely thinking about making the mistake of moving here then please do yourself a favor and watch all of these.

Bottom Line: DO NOT COME TO MEMPHIS - NOT TO VISIT AND CERTAINLY NOT TO LIVE!

You know, if you want to show only the bad things about Memphis, that's fine by me. But,you should be a little more honest about it. Why don't you show some of the "white" trash laying around the city? Should be a little more humble.

I was hoping for a lovely tour through a trailer park or possibly a visit to Frayser or nutbush to spot out the elusive "white gangtas" that contribute to our crime rate as much as any other individual.
