Well we do know that the violent crime rate is over 363% higher than Chicago.
Memphis has a bad crime problem in parts of the city you'd likely have no reason to visit and in areas a good distance from the core. Geographically, Memphis is a large city, so if you were in Laurelwood or near Shady Grove Rd., you'd be a long way from the hot spots. Central Gardens, Chickasaw Gardens and other areas are very nice.
Otherwise, there's a lot of wealth in Memphis. Multiple corporate headquarters, St. Jude, beautiful churches and great parks.

I’m in that number as well. New Orleans has its issues too, but I can be anywhere in town at almost anytime of day within 15 minutes.

great parks.
Shelby Farms is badass. When I lived up near there, I would go to that massive dog park often.

Greene County is home and is God's country
I grew up across the Tombigbee in Sumter County but my dad was from Greene County. Was in Woods and Water in Tuscaloosa over the weekend and noticed there's a new clothing line named GreeneCo. They're a little proud of their products but not quite as much as Tom Beckbe.

Eutaw is where I was born. My Mom grew up in Boligee on the Tombigbee; we still own land in Boligee on the river. Ate at Diamon Jim's in Livingston a few weeks ago when I was in Eutaw visiting.

Very familiar with Boligee. When I was a student at Alabama, I organized a group of my fraternity brothers to gather palmetto leaves from the swamps there to use for our spring party. They still do the same except now it's a bunch of Yankees from NJ, NY and Mass making the trip.
I love Diamond Jim's but it's not the same since Miss Donna left us. She always made sure to give my mom a slice a caramel cake when she ate there.

By what metric defines "worse"? Murders? Cause Birmingham averages over 100 homicides a year. Montgomery hovers around 40-50. Of course, Birmingham has nicer areas. Vestavia and Mountain Brook are nicer than Pike Rd/East Montgomery.
Birmingham has three to four times the population, though, so Montgomery having half as many murders is not the gotcha you think it is. Montgomery is basically Birmingham with all the nice parts removed.
