[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1147723, member: 637"] I used to drive to Memhis each night, then I would travel back and forth from the terminal to the railroad about 4 or 5 times a night at some point in my career. I would drive down Winchester or East Brooks and make a right on New Horn Lake Rd. Or go to Harvard Yard in Arkansas. People would be walking back and forth across the street. Then people would pass me from the far left lane, straight across to the right lane, everyone to the get off ramp. I would pass strip joints, liquor stores and Quick Stops. It is the most horrible driving I have ever seen there. Then the next day on the way back to Memphis, I would hear where someone was run over and killed on the same road I was driving. Or someone was shot at an intersection I stopped at half a dozen times and they found them beside a bush beside a light pole, and I had passed it a bunch of times. Someone had been shot in the Quick Stop. I would wonder if the person was dead every time I had passed the stop sign that night. This was a regular occurrence. I got so used to hearing it, that it was like listening to a TV show. But I never saw any of it happen. I would be bobtailing and I would see two or three people starting to cross the street where I was in traffic as I was sitting in a day cab. (Lots of car jacking) I always wondered what I would do if...... People were getting busted in the back of the head at the RR station and people trying to steal their trucks because they were sleeping over there. Don't get me wrong now, I'm not trying to be negative at all. :lol2: Ya'll go and have a big time, and enjoy yourself. Myself, I would drive through Memphis to get to another town or city, but that is it. Downtown everything is covered in bars, and every street looks like a war zone with potholes. [/QUOTE]
