Memphis, Tennessee: The Detroit of the South

[spain]

So, I am in between meetings yesterday in Memphrica and decide to go over to the mall to pick up some shoes. It is in the "nice" aka "white" area of town called Germantown. As I am walking into the mall entrance right beside the shoe store that I am going to go into, 2 young black women come running by me at a full gallop. I didnt know why they were running but you would have to be a liberal idot not to be able to figure out that they werent just 2 more innocent victims of the system. Anyway, I walk into the shoe store and this lady is complaining that she cant find her wallet. She had it sitting ontop of the baby stroller that she had with her. Then a lady that worked there, who had been on break outside of the mall entrance that I had just come in from, mentioned the 2 girls that had come running outside. The same two had come out of the shoe store a minute or so before the lady noticed her missing wallet. They called mall security who took down all the info, but basiclly told them that they were screwed, and that in Memphis you have to watch your belongings all the time. I said to all of them, "this is why I would never live in Memphis or Detroit"...
