And then there is that malignant tumor NYC.That’s funny. I often say NY has it all. Coast line, lakes, mountains, farms, rolling green hills. It’s really beautiful. The problem with NY is that it’s in NY.
Kinda’ like what Memphis is to Tennessee. Most Tennesseans would be in favor of Arkansas annexing the Memphis, TN area into their state.
But the Arkies are way too smart for that. Besides, they already have West Memphis, which may be better than the part of the city on the east side of the river.
I lived in Memphis 2002-2004 and worked all around the surrounding area while employed by a non-destructive testing company. Never had any trouble but I was VERY CAREFUL and aware of my surroundings. Especially when out on gamma radiography jobs late at night in industrial areas. Usually had my 1911 .45 on me on those jobs.
One big welding shop we had to go out to late at night was in a bad area down by the airport. It was a block away from a daycare center. First and only Day Care I have ever seen that had 7 foot high white concrete walls around it with spirals of concertina wire all along the top. I have pictures somewhere.
