It’s always interesting (to me) to see the commonalities between white Southerners and Blacks, especially those who moved North and West. Lots of shared traditions with food *cough* how turkey dressing is SUPPOSED to be made *cough*, speech, music, etc.

For some reason, we tend to forget that.

My folks were Mempho born and raised. I finally had to pry my mother out and move her to Asheville after her fall. She’s reasonably happy here but still wants to be back home.

Me, I’ve had enough of near-death experiences on Poplar Ave to carry me through the rest of my life. Miss the food and music tho.

Oh lawd, yes. Three narrow lanes in each direction, crammed with SUVs with windows up, AC on full blast, and radios blaring, driving fat dumb and happy.

I am referring specifically to the stretch between Perkins and Yates, where my mom lived. (She was on Shady Grove.)

Extra points for surviving Walnut Grove Extended between 240 and her rehab at Memphis Jewish Home and Rehab for the six weeks she was there and at Baptist East, especially the stretch through Shelby Farms.

I figure that as @hmanvolfan has survived G’town Rd through Cordova, he is obviously indestructible.

Think I have mentioned this before. I used to bike on Poplar a little bit and Walnut Grove out to Shelby Farms a lot in the mid to late 80s.

I was one of the few cyclists in Memphis at the time, so people were not aware at all. I was rather stupid.

Also obviously blessed.

Really, I have never seen drivers as oblivious and self-absorbed as East Memphis drivers. They really do seem to think that they have a magic umbrella overhead. Spooks the hell out of me, which is why I usually used Walnut Grove and Union to go anywhere toward downtown.

Glad you survived. 🍷
