I just call it like I see it and I say it straight, not in code.

Well, I can tell you that you need to have your eyes examined because you sure do not see this one like it is. For all you know I am black.

Thanks. :banghead:

Dont you think the term refugee is a little rough. I am "displaced" and you should be happy to help others not hate that we have to live by you. Its probally not their first choice anyway!!!!

Someone had a pyramid and next door someone built a castle. I always loved the castle growing up!!! I think they are both gone now. They were on a bayou right by the lake!! :bad:

That's L.A. -- LOS ANGELES -- not N.O. New Orleaneans and Gulf Goasters are always welcome. The L.A. folks are transplants fleeing California's gridlock and high prices -- and creating gridlock and high prices here. I apologize for not being clearer.

Too bad. But come on, if they can afford to build crazy huses, then they can probably rebuild.

FOr a thread called things you "like" about Memphis, i sure don't feel the love anymore...

Memphis has its faults, and i would never move back, and that kind of sucks. I know a lot of people that live here in Charlotte, and they are all from someplace else...this is a HUGE transplant city and for that reason, it has no real identiy of its own. My wife is from Pittsburgh, all her friends are from there or BUffalo, Cleveland, NYC, Boston, etc...Yankees looking to get to better weather...But i digress...they all have a reall fondness for their hometown, something i can not relate with....Hell, my wife cries everytime we go back to visit her family...as soon as we come out of the Ft. Pitt tunnel and see the skyline...waterfalls! Now i don't want to go to that extreme, but sometimes i do wish i had fonder memories of Memphis...Cause it does have a lot of character to it, just not all good character...the history there from a civil rights standpoint really hurts, and there are so many people still there that were around during that time period, that the old feelings really never went away...that town needs a face lift and a good session of therapy.

but you can't ignore some of the good things about the place...it is a cool place to visit, though i would agree Graceland is way overrated. It's one of the worst parts of town now....

20 years in memphis has taught me this

Driving sucks, know one really knows where I240 leads...

It's hot and cold, no in between.

BUT

It's still home

BBQ

Memphis in May Music Fest - crazy went every year from 7th grade up

BBQ fest - if you know someone with a booth, get ready to get down

The college - i went a year at U of M, it was a nice school with 20k + students, but it didn't have the feel of a big university, a lot of the students were commuters.

I remember going to Tim Mcarver and watching the Chicks play, and going to Autozone Park and watching the Red Birds is a real treat...mmmm....BBQ nachos

beal Street

BBQ

High school football was real big there to

The further I move, the more i miss it
