"It's moving in the right direction, but it's still recognized as one of the worst cities in America. To the point where the head of the FBI has called it 'the murder capital of this country' per capita. That's on the record." - Stephen A. Smith discussing Memphis on First Take
@unusual_whales They’re murderers. Tell them if someone tries to escape, they must all kill the escapee. If they don’t help kill them, then they’ll be shot.
Daddy, Ellie needs help getting down.
No she doesn’t. Tell her to put one foot down at a time.
Moments later, Ellie to Stella. I did it!!!
I’m an amazing parent.
Everyone in the Memphis community should be at this @ULI_Memphis event on affordable housing at @GirlsIncMemphis in Frayser today. Lots of spirited discussion about the systemic issues facing our poorest communities.
