    Only place I’ve stayed on that list is Gary,IN never had a problem. The worst problem area for riff raffs from my experience is Htown

    Almost every year Memphis is on the most dangerous cities in America list.

    IF that is what you think I am trying to do then you are not properly paying attention to the lessons I am trying to impart with those quality videos. Fear is not the problem. The intent is not to scare you or anyone. Its the examination of the overall situation on the ground for Cooper Threat levels and from whom. Seperate the predators from the sheep and then trying to identify other sheepdogs which are licensed carry such as myself. Then pick out the lawenforcement.

    Once all that is sorted in your immediate area you can make adequate decisions and function.

    I have gone into Memphis almost as much as NYC and it really isnt that bad. I once had a gal there. She was good to me but we were strictly friends for a few years. I can almost hear her accent to this day. It did not work out due to my long periods of time away, but we were sitting there by Lamar as a pair of love birds would briefly.

    But keeping a eye on everyone. They know whats up. But did not hurt her or me. I had a buck special in the holster on my belt. about 7 inches of bowie drop point style slicer. So if the necessity was there it would be a very dangerous knife as it did possess the hand gaurd required for combat. Its not ideal. Because the situation shouted guns with the bad guys. I would be riddled like a sieve.

    I do not trust rattle snakes diamond backs. I would just as soon shoot them on sight. However these bad guys as they were had certain rights as humans and frankly they see you see them and just don't stare. keep chin up and one hand near the colt in the hostler or the blade just so, they know whats up. We are not prey. But we will not hunt them either. There is no talking needed. IF there was just a bare minimum of a little bit of ego stroking for them. Dem colors be kewl man. And they will match it with something on their end. Its all good.

    Thats the other thing I remembered as well. Im generally black top to bottom in clothing. Plain black.

    It does not give away gang colors at all. Just plain black.

    As a deaf man in gang territory I do not use sign language. What I do do is point to my hearing aids and then flip flop my hands as if you were playing try to slap the other person's hand game faster than he can snatch it away. Im pretty fast like quicksilver. But I am so #### slow, it might get me killed being that slow.

    So you know your limitations.

    I believe the second truck is on his 30 minute break. Number four is settling into bed for his 10 hour. Or so the odds are.

    From the earlier videos of Baltimore it’s shocking to see how much it has declined
    and the decline isn’t recent either it’s been
    a dump for a long time with although there are some wealthy suburbs but still a dump.

    Our company doesn't want us to stop in that part of Memphis. Seems like it's in the same category of the neighborhood around the Petro on 285 in Hotlanta.
     
    BackwoodsGA Thanks this.

    Despair not, for a bright light shines just south of Baltimore at exit 41A in Jessup Maryland. Before you get to the TA there is a little strip mall on the right filled with a nice grocery store and several good restaurants. It used to be a dirt lot filled with homeless rabble and politicians looking to score crack (or whatever..see Marion Berry for details) before MOM's market moved in and transformed the entire neighborhood.
