What makes you say that? Where are you from?

Well the question wasn't addressed to me but I'll answer it.

I've lived in or around Memphis for about twenty years of my life, longer if you count living in Northern Mississippi where we'd go up to Memphis every month or so. I don't currently live near it but since I frequently visit my folks who live across the river I've been within the last month.

Memphis can be a shithole of a city.

Now don't get me wrong, the nice parts of Memphis are as nice as any city you will find in America. The food is great there, it has an active nightlife, and there are some wonderful neighborhoods within the city. The nice parts of Memphis are nicer then the nice parts of DC in my humble opinion.

The problem is that the bad areas are about as bad as you can get and not be in Detroit and thanks to the odd patchwork nature of Memphis you can go from million dollar homes to urban war zone in just one block.

Frick yes stick to well lit areas, SCRooster is dead right about that. Go, have a good time, but don't wander into the bad parts of town.
