I have to go to Memphis occasionally for business. I get in early and get out early and never stay overnight in Memphis or Shelby County

It's actually kinda funny. Memphis gonna Memphis.

It had to be a weather incident.***

What color were they? Asking for a friend

 

[T-TownDawgg]

I have to admit, I smiled.

If I had to pick a meteorologist for Memphis thugs to 17 up, it would be Cantore.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

Pathetic!

 

[aTotal360]

Jim Cantore is an @$$hole.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

He is rumored to have dined and dashed from restaurants, maybe a restaurant owner got fed up.

Memphis is an interesting study in how a place can make a resurgence and then give nearly all of the progress back in relatively short order.

When was the resurgence?

 

[T-TownDawgg]

When was the resurgence?

Lodging revenue spikes from The First 48 film crews

Why do this?

 

[horshack.sixpack]

When was the resurgence?

I suppose my statement is very age dependent. I feel like in the 70's/80's Memphis and Jackson were similar in the desolation of the downtown area. Sometime in 90's Memphis revitalized Beale Street and a lot of downtown became safely walkable. I feel like that has been rolled back in the last decade or so. Or I was stupidly staying and walking around downtown when I shouldn't have been?

Here is an old article referring to the period that I recall: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/1990/12/02/memphis-blues-reborn-on-beale-st/

Memphis' last gasp died when Phil Trenary died. I think many people lost hope that day. I notice the guy who did it only got 25 years in prison.

It was more tongue in cheek but you are right. 70s/80s Memphis was a little scary then about 94/95 it started to turn around and then it went back the other way. The last 5 years have been rough.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Not sure when the resurgence started, but everything took a hard nose dive during covid. I blame it on everyone looking like a criminal and wearing masks

I needed this:

I’m in Memphis frequently and stay downtown. Seems fine to me.

 

[PBDog]

Why do this?

no kidding - its a blue city we all know. kinda surprised a thug be out in this weather though. must have been some really low hanging fruit. weather man should know by now to not lock your doors....i mean damn

 

[PBDog]

He’s still snowed in and all he sees is white influence

we should just wait for the mug shots

I’ve heard that from multiple places on the coast.

Memphis = Making Easy Money Pimpin Hoes Is Serious

 

[Maroon13]

I thought Memphis may rebound around 2011 or so. Many downtown buildings were being rebuilt. The south main district was taking off.

Then 2020 and "defund the police" and all that... the new DA.... I can tell you too the courts are backed up and nobody has any urgency to find a solution to solve the issue. So not only are there no repercussions for petty crimes but major crime as well.

 

[skydawg1]

I remember that Old Milwaukee commercial featuring Memphis and Beale Street.

 

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

I have to admit, I smiled.

If I had to pick a meteorologist for Memphis thugs to 17 up, it would be Cantore.

Same. The name ”Jim Cantore“ sounds like one of the bad guys from Mid-South Wrestling

 

[cowbell88]

Did they steal his hurricane helmet?

 

[paindonthurt]

Why do this?

I mean it’s relevant

maybe they were white guys wearing maga hats screaming this is maga country!

 

[1msucub]

When I was in high school, my girlfriend and I would go to all the malls and to downtown a good bit to eat and go to the river…..and I mean TO the river. We’d walk down the cobblestones to right at the water just to hear it and watch. This was 1989…..can you imagine doing that now? Willie Herenton drove that city into the ditch and helped make DeSoto county what it is today.

Juicy Smooyay concurs with this sentiment.

2023 Memphis Homicide Map

 

[PooPopsBaldHead]

Why do this?

Seems redundant for sure. Asking about the race of a person who committed a car burglary in Memphis is kinda like asking the race of someone who's meth trailer blew up in rural Kentucky, who stole the wheels of a car in Brownsville, TX, who brutally stabbed a bunch of coeds to death while they were sleeping in Moscow, ID, who committed a drive by in Chicago, or who started a ponzi scheme in Martha's Vineyard.

You hate to stereotype, but it's natural. So most of us wouldn't bother asking for a friend since we know the 95% likely answer in every case.

Pretty damn well said

 

[mike tice]

Why do this?

Why not? Is that racist? Just looking for a description . Hell maybe I know them and can help. Are you assuming I was saying they were black. Cause ummm they are.

 

[Doghaus]

Just so happened security couldn't get there and was off that nite...can you say inside Job

we should just wait for the mug shots

But they do have "BLACK ICE"
