And That, My Friends, Is the End of the Neighborhood
My friend ZackPe hypothesizes that the arrival of a Chuck-E-Cheese guarantees the death of the section of town in which it resides.
Although I debated this a little bit-- only because Chuck set up shop about 3 miles from my house-- there is no doubt that the damn mouse ushered in "less glamorous" businesses to Cordova (aka New Hickory Hill, da dirty 'Dova).
Less than 1 mile from my house is a Popeye's under construction, TitleMax (you know, pawn your title for a 20% interest loan when you just gotta have some weed before payday), and an Incredible Pizza which promises to house a go-kart track, laser tag and even a bowling alley. Now, LP will argue that the Popeye's is not so bad because the sign reads "Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen." However, I'm just guessing that the zoning board demanded Popeye's not put up their "Chicken That's Finger Lickin', Slap Yer Momma On The Ass Good" sign.
The end is near. I fully expect the value of my Sequoia to exceed my home's appraised worth within the next 3 years.

Right on. Title Max would be a dead give away.
Or if you start seeing businesses you would never think about visiting ever start popping up.
Pawn Shops is the next one you need to be leary of in the near future.

Here's a quick question to ask yourself to determine if your property value is on the way up or down: Do I live inside the Memphis city limits?
You might also check to see how close you live to a Buster's Liquor store.
