Memphis TN from my perspective.impartialobserver » 19 Jan 2024, 2:02 pm » wrote: ↑ I would give that honor to Bakersfield, CA with Yakima, WA and Rock Springs, WY coming in second and third. Bakersfield is simply the epitome of disrepair and neglect. Been there twice (2008 and 2014) and both times, it had the look of an post-apocalyptic ghost town. I did not see much in the way of homelessness and all that comes with that. Every building looked as if no one had any kind of maintenance to it in 10+ years.

It was already pretty bad before Katrina washed the scum from New Orleans up here, and now the offspring of said scum are the young gang bangers ruling the streets

I don't know today. I used to business travel about 20 years ago. Two or 3 cities a week for 5 years. Back then I would have said Detroit.impartialobserver » 19 Jan 2024, 2:10 pm » wrote: ↑ I will take your word on this one. Have only been east of Denver, CO three times (Kansas City, Minneapolis, and NYC). Every city has rundown areas but Bakersfield was one big rundown neighborhood. When I went to a gas station in downtown.. there was more stuff on the floor than the shelves. The bathroom.. was something from a SAW movie. I braved it and we got out of town ASAP. On the way back, we took the scenic route and went around it.
Very sad. I read bad reports of the growth of crime in Nashville. Very sorry to hear. I once thought of moving to TN, possibly the Sweetwater area among others. There’s alot to like about TN.RedheadedStranger » 19 Jan 2024, 2:22 pm » wrote: ↑ Nashville is getting worse by the day unfortunately.
It's becoming the Seattle of the South. It's currently cooling off from a major growth spurt over the last decade and infrastructure and services are still lagging way behind the population surge.
It's also one of the biggest hubs for drug trafficking in the Nation too.

Arabs are 1.2% of the US population. Many of them are Christian. Seems like a non-issue.DeezerShoove » 19 Jan 2024, 3:05 pm » wrote: ↑ I hear Murfreesboro is competing with Dearborn, MI to be the largest Arab population in the US.
