1. Memphis had 36 shootings in the last week of April.

2. That is insane!

3. Oh it's insane all right.

I only leave my house once a week or so to go out to lunch with gs. I even order groceries delivered to avoid the magats & meth heads.

4. This breaks my heart.

I grew up in Frayser when it was a nice place to live. Left in 1980 and haven't been back in over 30 years. I have so many fond memories.

5. It's awful here, Laffy

And, sorry to say, Frayser has apparently devolved considerably as it is one of the worst areas outside of south Memphis.

Yet, they are building a $90 mill high school there.

6. Even the place where I grew up

has become a big crime problem. The quiet area where I grew up is scary. My home out here in the country is scary to me after dark,

The crime in town is just inexcusable. Murders, shooting everywhere every night.
