I said from the start that there are many nice suburbs and areas in Memphis like Germantown. I have driven through many beautiful old neighborhoods of mansions, etc.
That does not do away with my overall view of the city which is that it is one that is dangerous, has racial tension, and in the actual city / urban area has a lot of corrupt and incompetent government.
In other words the few bright spots don't change my overall opinion. However I understand the loyalty folks who live there or who have lived there have towards their city. I have just been blessed to live in two awesome metropolitan areas the last 30 years (Austin Texas and Nashville TN).

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
