We left our not so stellar motel in Dickson (the guy next door smoked and drank in his doorway most of the night while listening to horrible music) and had a look at Memphis<\/a>, Tennessee. I was keen to find out what it was really like because it has so many contrary considerations. It is famous for its music and having its own unique style of barbecue<\/a>, but makes most of the most violent cities in the US lists, like\u00a0this one<\/a>\u00a0and this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We did really enjoy their style of barbecue. If you eat pork and go to Memphis, we do highly recommend it. It was honestly amazing, and I am not even normally that into pork other than bacon. Chris, as a big pork fan, was very very happy. We highly recommend\u00a0Central BBQ<\/a>:\"2015-08-28<\/a> \"2015-08-28<\/a><\/p>\n

After chatting to some lovely locals at the bbq place, we checked out the city. The houses seemed to indicate some big disparity between the best and worst off in Memphis. We saw a lot of houses in this sort of condition:

We also saw things like this (not the writing in red on the right hand side):

There also seemed to be an attempt at a parking scam, which you can check out in the video:<\/p>\n
