I've lived here for 13 years and I've not had a scintilla of fear or problems. Here in the 'burbs our police forces are strong and they keep the crime out. Memphis gets a bum rap for it's crime statistics, but much of that happens in isolated areas that are notorious crime hot spots. I drive into Memphis all of the time without any fear. There are many quiet and peaceful and upscale neighborhoods and areas. It's a great town rich in culture, history, food and music. It's our home.
