My wife and I spent 3 days in Memphis (without a gun) about 10 years
ago and survived :-)

Our house in Memphis (that our son and his family live in) is in an
area that tourists don't go ... not the worst area but bad enough . You
were probably on/near Beale Street and the downtown area , which sees
about six times the police presence of the average neighborhood . Gotta
protect them tourons and their dollars .

I don't know how it is post-Katrina but NO was the same deal. Enjoy the
French Quarter. Don't wander outside the cordon.

I was born in Detroit. I haven't been back for years, but it
was well known not to stray from the "safe" areas: Greektown,
Wayne State University, parts of the riverfront that were
developed for tourism. There's an entertainment/sports
area now that wasn't there the last time I was in Detroit.

If you are white, there are areas of Chicago you wouldn't last 15
minutes. The blacks there are extremely intolerant of white people.

So I've heard. Best avoided.

Memphis is the same. Go to Graceland. See the Pyramid. Don't stray from
the tourist areas. The first time I was in Chicago, around 1973, the
hotel clerk said 'Enjoy your stay. Just don't go south of Roosevelt
Road.' I wanted to visit a friend at the University, which is a little
enclave south of Jungleland, so I had to traverse it.

My first time in Chicago, in late '60's, I was walking down the street
at night when I heard a voice yell out m.....f....er to someone, turned
around and it was a young black girl saying it.

First rid yourself of the vermin in your house. Then go clean other
houses.

What?

Aren't you going to close down all the Mosques where Imams are teaching
hate. You have already been infiltrated. As soon as something occurs
your police know who else is to blame because they have been watching
them. You get rid of all these first, then go after the outside source.

Both need to be done urgently.


Apparently European muzzies are worse than the ones that come here.
Also to monitor one suspicious person round the clock costs maybe half
million dollars. Even just extreme vetting for one to get in costs
about $60,000.

You mean that our terrorists do worse than flying planes into
skyscrapers etc and killing 3000 odd people !
Have you forgotten that already?

Oh how I laughed that day.

I worked for a while in Ft. Wayne and went up one weekend to visit the
Ford Museum. Later I went to Greektown for supper. I should have left
well enough alone but I took a walk by the river. The RenCen was
unoccupied, the People Mover wasn't, and the helicopters were flying
around lighting up the scene with powerful searchlights like a bad
episode of Blade Runner.

Years later I had to change planes in Detroit. The constant stream of
announcements in 21 languages I don't speak was the background for my
dash between the two gates farthest from each other. Its version of a
people Mover wasn't working either.

I enjoyed the museums.

It's no longer like that, at least not near downtown. The downtown area
is blossoming. The northbound extension on Woodward past the new Wings
arena is amazingly enhanced with new condos/apts, restaurants,
retailers, etc. Campus Martius is filled with events nightly and all
weekends. The riverwalk is extended from just east of the Ambassador
Bridge to Belle Isle. Old buildings are being restored and occupied. The
new trolleys on Woodward are able to transport people from end to end.
People of all races are residing and walking the streets even at night.

Prior to the rebuild I would never go downtown but now, it's thriving
with nightlife, daily events and great food. I frequent it more often.
The only downfall is finding a parking spot.

An Emergency Call Centre worker has been fired in Toronto much to the dismay of her colleagues, who were unhappy with her dismissal.
It seems that a caller dialled 911 from a cell phone stating, "I'm depressed and lying on a railway line so that when the train comes I can finally meet Allah."
To which the call centre employee replied, "Remain calm and stay on the line."

I had a friend of mine at IU in the J-school in the mid-70s that
was on the GI bill. He did a summer internship in Detroit and came back
and said he had been shot at almost as much that summer in downtown
Detroit as a whole year in VN.
