    "The best part about Memphis’ lack of growth is the lack of traffic. Commutes are easy if your car is able to withstand poor roads and you are willing to look both ways before proceeding at a green light"

    "There is nothing but trash and broken glass all around the complex but especially on the walk outside of the gates. If you want to get to a good walking neighborhood, your dog needs shoes. Also, no one picks up after their pet here and the management doesn't have any waste stations despite charging a lot to have pets here."
