Yup, Chicago TN, Jackson’s little Chicago.
Memphis is the # 1 Most Dangerous City in the U.S.
Seriously – don’t go there unless you have to.
And if you go there, take a gun and watch your back – they will sneak up behind you and shoot you in the back of the head.
There’s a song about it > “Memphganistan”.
The guy who wrote that song lived in Memphis, but then his friend was murdered, so he moved to Atlanta for his family’s safety.
