Memphis - Home of the King
... is they have no character. Besides one main road, where they stick all the clubs and nightlife, there's nothing else to them. Memphis wasn't an exception. A disgusting, run down, deserted city. Maybe it's just because I'm here in the dead of winter and ...

Walking in Memphis
