A Good Thing About Memphis?

Most people will read this post and wonder "huh? is this actually Gary Z saying something positive about Memfuss?"

Yeah, I guess there's a few good things. LP and I have a great church to go to, I live 3 miles from work and we love the school that Anna attends.

Oh, wait. Those things are all in Cordova, not Memphis. But there's more.

The remnants of Hurricane Katrina knocked our power out at midnight last night. So when you wake up to no power, what do you do? Duh, you go to the inlaws 1/4 mile down the street where they have electricity and a warm b'fast waiting for you.

All of LP's parents live in Memphis (or newly annexed Memphis [formerly Cordova] and Collierville to be exact) and they help out with Anna so much that it actually gives LP and me enough time and energy to pretend we're a "pre-child" married couple at times. And that rules.

You can't put a price on that. So, we can look past the gang shootings, robberies and random racial hate crimes as long as we have all that other good stuff going on for us.

And remember, Orange Mound IS Memphis.
