Its hard to understand how a city constantly in the top 3 for murder rates and violent crime in USA.. and some of you are so blind to sit here and try to explain its safe. Might be safe for YOU in a 96 cavalier.. hop in this new car with out of state tags tho… try that..
Right that's in any city don't go places where you not spose to be its dangerous everywhere and did you go on beale street it's a lot a places in memphis that was not shown and dude couldn't drive in the video
I drive a Lexus, sir. Do you believe everything you read or hear? There is crime, for sure, but it’s in poverty stricken areas. All of which you traveled! You must like drama yourself. Negative people always speak and seek negativity.
Memphis, Tn ain't for the WEAK. Ppl always talk bad about this city but it's where the grinding & hustling begins PERIODT. I live in Collierville now but I was raised from Orange Mound 🍊 . They rule to living here is STAY OUT THE WAY & MIND YOUR BUSINESS 💯 #luvmycity901❤️
You have Memphis All wrong. The kids were not begging they were raising money for there sports team. Your have no idea what you are talking about. You did not show any high income areas. Your statistics are wrong stop making statements and get your facts straight. Go to East Memphis,Collierville, Germantown were you can see whats really going on!! I'm sick of people who don't leave here trying to put Memphis down. You only visit the oldest part of Memphis. Have you ever visited any areas off hwy 385? Stop showing the worst area in Memphis and show were the city has grown. But you keep saying Latino, Latino are not Memphis Tn original residents so you can't represent Memphis Tn at all!!! Stop coming here with your scary ass!
high income areas in high crime cites, who wants a target that big on there back? Even people in the suburbs are FLEEING memphis.. they tell me they come to Florida and can finally breathe in peace
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS there is crime there to have you watched the video of all the homeless and heroin addicts my sister and went to Florida and was robbed but never here in Memphis been here all are life
I was unable to find the video on Frayser Tn, I live in Frayser for over 20 years and yes one of the deadliest subarus of Memphis, the last 8 years it was just my son and I living there, we left in 2009 and never looked back, if you offered me a million dollars to go back I would tell you my life matters more than the money it is very dangerous there
My old stomping ground! Haven't been to Memphis in almost 20 years - Hickory Hill. It's sad to see it decline aesthetically. Personally, this town was screwed out of The Rock and Roll museum. It had all the greats: Aretha Franklin, Issac Hayes, The Box Tops, Young Dolph and Xavion. The music Mecca...I miss this town.
After Memphis annexed the suburbs in 2000 crime went up in the suburbs. Such as Hickory Hood & Cordova. But crimes moving into Collierville too & it’s still a separate town.
I'm born and raised in Memphis and Memphis is a good and bad city , but a lot of singers , rappers, and people's like Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke , Aretha Franklin, Bar Kay's, and a whole lot of people's that were famous that have lived here, I love my home town and I'm not moving from here too soon
Yes indeed the Best Blues and R,B and HIP HOP has its Roots deep In Memphis TN I like the Stax Museum it's alot of history there and the BBQ is the best second to none I used to go to Liberty Land back in the day it was fun 🙂🙌
People's travel here everyday from all over the world just take a tour around our big beautiful city, our city is famous for a lot of good things, we have a lot of the best singers, rappers ,BBQ and all
Memphis doesn’t even have a decent skyline for its size. I respect all it IS but dont talk beyond that. Florida gets 70.000.000 tourist a year.. theres no $60,000 houses in Florida. Thats a place people go to. People go to Orlando, new york.. new orleans even. Memphis aint that. What part of “declining population” makes you think its moving in the right direction?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS speak for the city you live in and not for the city you ain't in, Memphis is a good and bad city and I know a whole lot about this city more than you because I was born and raised in this city , Memphis has a lot of history behind it, go online and read about the history of Memphis and what happened here , I can tell you something about Memphis that you don't know nothing about and that you probably haven't heard of
Memphis and the suburbs have always been bad as I've lived in Memphis for 40+ yrs. But the worst neighborhoods are Frayser, Hickory Hill ( Hickory Hood), New Chicago, North Memphis, South Memphis, West Wood, Whitehaven,Binghampton Berclair, Cordova near Cordoba high school and Berryhill as well as Orange Mound. Orange Mound was the 1st all black founded neighborhood after desegregation.But after the suburbs (county) were annexed around the year 2000 the crime increased and people left the city and moved to the country like Cordova, Lakeland, Germantown, Bartlett and Collierville. But Cordova, Germantown and Bartlett have sceen a rise in crimes since the early 2000's.
Orange Mound is an original Black Neighborhood and was founded in 1890 and was built for black people. Most of the other neighborhoods of the black community are are former all white communities that were abandoned during the period of "white flight" beginning in the mid 1960s and the white people moved to the county to the southeast, east and also to Southaven, MS, Germantown, and Bartlett and Cordova. Other small black enclaves from the days of sharecroppers and slavery exist at White Station near the Clark Tower, Whitehaven Lane, and other places around the city. I lived there until late 1990, and there were area where you had to be alert but in general that city wasn't that frightful. Last time I was there was in 1998 and it had deteriorated some more, but it is not a war zone like the media portrays it.
@@swinde Absolutely!! Finally someone with a brain that knows their ish on here in the comments! Did u hear about the newest class at Chimney Rock elementary starting Jan 10,2024?
I don’t know how you drove as long as you did without getting close to Old Frayser…drive thru Frayser via Hwy 51…start at Watkins and go south on Hwy 51…in the 60’s this area was the job capital of Memphis…Ronco, Firestone, International Harvester, etc. Everyone was moving to Frayser and Raleigh………..lot of people won’t even drive thru there anymore
You missed the entire middle of the city from midtown, Central Gardens, Cooper-Young area, University of Memphis area, Audubon Park, The Brooks museum, the Zoo (one of the best in the country), the bars and restaurants on and around Madison Ave., and no BBQ??!! Kind of a fail in my book. And they arent pushing memphis as being a transportation city, FEDEX was started and is based there and it has always been a huge place for logistics, trucking and trains, because of its location, and that hasnt changed.
Memphis is interesting that despite it being a major city in the sun belt it is declining in population (not sure if Birmingham would be considered a major city). Even the Memphis Metro area barely grew in 2020 with the Detroit Metro Area out growing it.
Birmingham is certainly a major metro and yes the city itself is considered fairly major as well. Both cities are really part of a Southern rust belt of sorts that correlates very roughly but highly imperfectly with the Southern Black Belt, but extending into the northern and western Appalachian rust belt which in turn extends to the classic Midwest and inner northeast rust belt. The Deep South rust belt starts in deep east Texas and extends as all the way into South Carolina. It's just that most of the cities and metro areas in that region are relitively small.
Basically, it's part of the same geographically continuous area full of declining cities and slow growing or declining metros that includes New Orleans and Shreveport, LA., Port Arthur TX., Fort Smith and Pine Bluff, AR, Augusta and Albany GA., Duluth MN, St. Louis, MO. Detroit, MCH Harrisburg, PA, Charleston, WV, and Buffalo and Syracuse NY.
@@jKLa Makes sense, Memphis is situated near poorer sides of Arkansas and Mississippi while Nashville is a major metro area situated closer to the fast growing Atlanta metro area.
@@johnnguyen6159 Nashville is in the more prosperous and growing central Appalachian plateau region of Central Tennessee and central Kentucky and extending down into northern Alabama and southeast almost to the Atlanta Metro.
Memphis born, Memphis raised mane in South Memphis/ Glenview but I been living in Indiana for bout the past 5yrs but try to get home at least once a month cause there is no blues,bbq or anything else in Indiana, have to smuggle them"Circle B's"and Brims white cheddar popcorn back 😂
@@mackjuan2232 feel ya. Born and raised in the bay. Love for all of my city 💙 people be hating on us so bad. Our Grizzlies and Tigers don't get no respect but we will gain it regardless 💪👊
If the Latino population hadn't moved to Memphis it would be worse off but you can't accurately say that the same number who moved in is the number of fewer people that would be there if they hadn't. More then 10% of Memphis housing IS vacant btw. We don't really know the impact because: (to be continued)
U need to go to Greenville! Don't go to Orange Mound! R u kidding me! Go to Germantown and Collierville! Dude u were in the hood. If u return to Memphis, u need to know where u r going!
From Memphis, left like most I knew there, it is a pit, yes, some areas are better but the city still ranks as near number 1 in crime and being a pit. Stay safe, stop before you get there, fill up, check your tires, then go through, don't stop till 20 miles out.
Unfortunately, crime is terrible in Memphis. But If you're going to show case something showcase every part (like a couple people have said). Not just the trenches/ gutter of places you don't like. And then show/ report highlights of the places where you prefer people to move. In my opinion, the whole world gutter/ been gutter for a long time if you asked me.. nobody's ready for that convo so I'll keep it moving.
Every town has a good part and a bad part and this is Memphis bad part show the good part not every thing has to be negative you know coming from a kid
Next time show all of Shelby county and not just the Low areas. Yt ppl love coming to Memphis and only showing the hoods. It’s just like any other black city got good areas and bad areas with crime.
I did videos in the suburbs last time we were here. The people living there, started fallowing our channel and started to move to Florida where we live
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Florida ain’t no different especially Orlando and Jacksonville ppl want a perfect like I can point them to some small towns in Tennessee that have no crime and no jobs. Just retirement towns and sun down towns.
@@jarbarnhill north Florida including Jacksonville is just another place in the south like the rest of yalls states Come past i4 and were living in current time
@@Jajoc1971 there are many suburbs in all directions especially in Northern Mississippi although much of Memphis's suburban population is exurban or smaller but growing satellite towns.
It was suburbs right off elvis Presley, twinkle town literally right behind his plane, nice big houses manicured lawns, etc, the same with behind his house, nice neighborhood. On down pass shelby drive its a whole gated community across from whitehaven high with more big houses around the corner. Then you have diamond estates off Holmes road! I thought he was only checking out elvis house lol
Not big compared to Dallas, Houston, NYC. But to me, a rural VA native, who lived in Memphis from 97-2013, it seemed like it was. Now I see it for what some locals call it, an overgrown country town.
Overall the city is pretty ghetto. Of course there are nice and touristy parts, but every city has them. Most of those areas gave me weird vibes when I was there.
Memphis could get vaporized by a nuclear explosion and America would actually benefit from it. And this is coming from someone within 50 miles who would get the fallout.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSPlease don’t talk about gangs, compared to Florida where ppl call each other “jits” and where their hair in big long knots. Gang life is terrible in Florida I’ve heard. You need to stop
What do u know about Memphis other than what u hear from ppl cause Memphis not a bad city just mind yo business n stay out the way the rules of the street that for any place any state any city everywhere.....
what's wrong with having $600 rent ... why does it matter that rents are cheaper here than many other places that think their supposed to rip off the locals with $ 1000 plus dollars rent per month
I lived in Georgia, Florida and Nashville my daughter lives in Houston, it's the same everywhere,,it's people not the city or state ..I'm black anywhere there's alot of blacks around yes I said it ,,it's gonna be horrid we are our worst enemy...Those are facts 💯💯💯💯💯💯
I love my city sure it’s got it’s bad and good but what city don’t if you mind your business don’t act like your better than anybody( snooty)won’t nobody do anything to you I’ve lived everywhere in Memphis for 32 years be one with your community don’t turn your nose up at ppl and you’ll be fine
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS All of them! Get out of Memphis. I have lived in Memphis all of my life and have not dealt with the crime on a personal level. Get out of here.
Memphis TN was really bad when we had the housing projects in the early 2000s. To me it's not that bad if you mind your business and stay out of trouble. I'm moving back there soon
