Not a bad motel at all. The bullets did not penetrate the walls. Haha. I read reviews when i book a room. Some will be like “bed was hard” or “under the bed was dirty”. I usually go for the $45 crash and dash. Gun shot holes is something I’ll scan for. 😂

One of my earliest trucking trips had me overnighting at a truck stop in So Memphis. Never again! Ignorant country guy! Cadillacs and pimps, dope dealers in and out, da ho's.... Beggars and heathens of all sorts. Impractical to route around where I generally went in the area. Bad place

What more could a man want? A “No gunfights after 10pm” sign, clearly posted, would help.

We used to stay in a little dive Mom & Pop Motel in Nara Visa, NM on our annual Antelope Hunt.
It had clouds painted on the ceilings & those old twinkling Christmas lights hung in rows over the beds.
Guide woke us up for breakfast at 4:00 am at the “truck stop/ cafe across the road. Buddy decides to sleep in.
Guess I didn’t shut the door good when I left. When we went back to the room he had two kittens sleeping on top of him. 😬

Driving though northbound up 72 during heavy afternoon traffic, at each stoplight, the jiggaboos would make extra lanes, shoulder to shoulder to pass cars. Tow truck drivers, loaded, would do the same with their lights flashing like they're exempt from traffic laws. Heathens.

If I was a trucker nowadays, I’d have an AR, 12 ga riot gun, and a couple of Glocks in the cab with plenty of extra mags too.
Oh wait, I always have those in my pickup 🤠

Yeah Memphis wasn’t even on the radar to stay in but it’s on the route.
I’ll gas up before there too.
I would really like to get to Tupelo but not sure if we can.
If I get a good vibe in Olive Branch we may stop there.
Thanks for the responses.

Y'all haven't been many places if you think Memphis is bad.
Memphis is tame. I stopped there yesterday for gas.
