[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1147748, member: 637"] I always liked the fact that Memphis had a mayor, then they elected a mayor for shelby county. Then the people in Memphis wanted to know why they had to go and do that? I was watching the news one night several years ago, and the city council in Memphis had met over a neighborhood wanting to put up a fence around their houses. The neighborhood was going to pay for the fence themselves because they were getting broke into a couple times a week. It was a nice neighborhood with manicured lawns and the houses were taken care of. I remember the news crew standing outside of the city council and asking questions as they came filing out. One of the city council members was on up in years, and they ask her what she thought about the people wanting to pay for their own fence. She said, "I think it was just a bunch of upity rich white folks trying to keep black people from getting in their neighborhood!" :shock: So, they refused to let these people put up a fence around their neighborhood while every thing else in Memphis is fenced or barred. Go figure that. Is Willie Harrington still the mayor of Memphis now? [/QUOTE]
