A riding lawn mower bomb might be the most Dixie Mafia thing ever. Its the guido bleeding out face down in a bowl of linguini of the south.

I don’t say this bc you are an OM fan, and I emphatically agree that New Orleans is highly dangerous.
But I have felt genuinely unsafe in Jackson, MS. It deserves some consideration.
Why are you in Jackson..... Don't be.... I understand New Orleans.... But why would anyone be in Jackson.

The history of the Dixie Mafia is pretty interesting. They weren’t afraid to kill someone. Back in the day I believe they made most of their money from bootlegging, gambling, prostitution and extortion. You don’t really hear about them anymore, but I have to think they are still around. I think the head dude currently is in prison for life, but supposedly still running the organization. They had strongholds in Phenix City, Walker County, south west Tennessee and the Mississippi Gulf coast. I wonder how the sicilian mob and they worked it out when the casinos came to Biloxi?

Nola is bad for sure, but not THAT bad. The immediate area around Tulane/Loyola is still very well maintained. And Nola is still hosting Super Bowls for godsakes.

The Dixie Mafia was/is more like criminals who sometimes crossed paths and worked together. From everything I have read about them, there was no hierarchy or code, or family connections resulting in "made men". Basically just a bunch of crackers with a tendency for violence and illegal activities with the most violent and successful running shite for periods of time.

The area around Graceland being named Whitehaven is one of the more hilarious things I've run across on my travels.

In the 70' s it was safe area around Graceland The ghetto started taking over that area mid 80's. In the 50's and 60's it was farm land out in the country.

Is Birmingham Southern University's shutting down due to lack of enrollment caused by being in such a bad part of town?

Page four here, and no mention of Cocke County, Tennessee?
If you research it, don't do the dipshit youtube videos that try and make the cops look normal and decent
find blogs that tell Cocke County history for 100 years

No such thing
Dixie Mafia never existed

They would get involved with political elections.

There was a similar sign in Comanche County Texas when I was younger. Also, Comanche and Hamilton County were the only two counties in Texas that had no black residents in the whole county. This was in the late 80's
There are four counties in Texas that have no Black residents currently.
Loving, Kenedy, Jeff Davis, King. And there are probably 15 others that effectively have no Black residents. (< 0.5%).
And all these Sundown town signs people keep talking about were basically gone by the mid 1960s. And the ones that did exist usually said "no coloreds after dark as opposed to " anything about black asses". Church people would have never stood for that.

HRV speaks nothing but the truth. You have million dollar homes on one street, and the next block over even the cockroaches are packing heat. It is a schizo city.
Mind you, I love Memphis while still acknowledging that it is super dangerous. If you know what you are doing, stick to the right areas, and don't go where you shouldn't it is a fairly safe major city. If you f*ck around however, you will most assuredly find out. In a really unpleasant way.
