Is this the neighborhood affectionately known as Little Mogadishu?
That’s in Minnesota, but I am certain that the “working class neighborhood” could be translated into the language I grew up speaking as “a slum with mostly black people living there”.
Memphis is Mogadishu on the Mississippi.
No, just high crime area, majority black. You are not safe unless you CCW and are willing to act to protect yourself. They smoke MMJ out in the Methodist North Hospital Parking Lot in SCRUBS under the lights. My eldest caught them doing so the last time I was in the Horrid M. N. ER that moves like snails. St. Francis Bartlett on Stage Rd is an even worse ER. They get a F- from me.
