    "Everybody seems to have a dog so barking doesn’t really bother too many people and no one complains about it but on the other hand, there’s always a lot of barking. "
  • Thomas Foret
    "There use to be nice community events when I was younger but now everything has been taken over by hoodlums for the lack of a more fitting term. This whole city is ridden with thugs and meth heads. Glad I’m moving soon!!!"

    "There are stray dogs everywhere. Running around freely. This makes walking your pet dangerous because of the aggressive dogs running around. Pet owners are not responsible here."
  • Kbwill1129
    "Pet owners let their dogs run stray, and do not care where they roam or if they get hit. Many times they do not pick up after their animals. "

  • Iamangelathomas
    "Not really family friendly for newcomers. Some neighbors are friendly and others are nuisance. Most of the schools have no after school care and kids really don’t play at the parks. No local family friendly activities."

  • Cynthia
    "I'm from Connecticut and living in west Memphis is definitely a change. I have recieved nothing but kindness and love from the people of here. The hold doors open for you complete strangers are kind and talk to you. This place is definitely in need of educating the youth against violence but people dont bother you if you dont bother them."
  • Byrdia
