Southern Road Trip
Our route was Historic Route 66 - first stop Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Second stop was Joplin, Missouri. Third stop was our friends house in the Ozarks, Missouri. Lake of the Ozarks - beautiful area with quaint towns & a huge lake. There's alot of "Good 'Ole Boy's", driving a truck - suspenders half on - few teeth, and go out daily to kill their dinner.. Fourth stop Memphis Tennessee - Graceland was a must see. Famous Beale St. was a great time - Home of the Blues and every place/ corner had a muscian + playing, very cool.. Southern Question - ever heard of this???? While in Missouri I was talking to others about going to Memphis.. They said - Be careful your a " Mighty Whitey " ..!!! ever heard of this..? Why I was a Mighty Whitey - I'm white - pretty - blonde - and I have all my teeth. Hey I was in the Ozarks - there's a town called Booneville ok... Booneville had a great Casino by the way.. Trip was Aug. 27 to Sept. 10th, since we bought a new car, I call this a Test Drive..:-  Oh, Louisiana was interesting - I think Nomad was there Under Cover..?? Fun Trip Patsy |

Re: Southern Road Trip
Goddess is right
I clung to my husband like Velcro I don't think "they " had ever seen a blpnde with all her teeth. While talking to this family prior arriving in TN - they really did scare me - their son said " Maam, don't go out at night" & be careful... he was right.. Patsy |

I can assume with almost 100% certainty that the mighty whitey comment was made because you are white. Statistically speaking it is around 62% black according to a site I just googled for an approximate figure but being a former citizen of 'my Memphis' ... I would tend to believe it's much higher now. Most white folk have moved to Harbortown and Colllierville. I said white folk lol. Memphis is a great city tho. Chocked full of history greats like Elvis and Dr. King. I miss it greatly  and in more than one sense of the word. The crime rates there are just insane now and I could never imagine raising my child there.Quote:
