It's by Lead Foot apparently.

Forget the podcast,
Guy says he always stays at the BPS pyramid. Johnny keeps it safe. Son stayed there last year while attending a business meeting. Said it was a nice place.

Anywhere on Hollywood Avenue in Memphis should be good to go.

Y'all haven't been many places if you think Memphis is bad.
Memphis is tame. I stopped there yesterday for gas. I’ve been just about everywhere and trust me, Memphis is bad. I work out of there but choose to live 250 miles away, that’s how bad I think it is. Last year a co-worker was shot driving on the I-240 beltway, a guy pulled up next to him & shot him through the side window. It’s not uncommon there. A few years back a good friend got held hostage for about 15 minutes when the convenience store he was in was robbed. He got pistol whipped by one of the robbers, another hostage was forced to suck one of the thugs pecker while he held a pistol to his forehead. Every place seems tame until you get into something like that.

Couple of friends stayed overnight at a motel in Memphis while on a hunting trip. 6pm out front in broad daylight on a busy street-Joe was getting his bag out of the topper, couple of black kids rushed up, put a gun to his head and demanded his wallet.
Joe says "Ok-it's in the cab, let me get it for you." Was able to retrieve his .45 from the map pocket, put the muzzle on the kids nose and asked "Who's going to shoot first?"
Kids decided to run, Joe let them go instead of screwing up the hunting trip.
I'd make it to Tupelo if I was you.

Like most cities, if you can find a place on Martin Luther King, Jr Boulevard, you should be fine.

It's called "the first law of plumbing"- - - - - -Memphis has the lowest elevation in Tennessee, and "schitt flows downhill!"

Well we made it.
Rolled through Memphis Sunday night about 930. It had been about eight years since I was last through there. Talk about a nasty place.
About 10 police cars on one of the over passes and I thought to myself that many cops don’t respond to a traffic accident.
Didn’t get a good vibe in Olive Branch either so we rolled into Tupelo about 11pm.
Checked a Memphis news site and sure enough there was a shooting on or near that overpass shortly before we went through. There was another shooting on the north side of town the same night. One dead, one injured.
It’s doubtful I’ll ever go through there again at night.
Headed back to TX.

Glad you made it; I am just now seeing this thread. My answer to original question would have been "Farfrom" If you stay Farfrom Memphis, you should do all right.
