Mall of Memphis had a skating rink. About the time Fedex started growing a lot of businesses pulled out hurting a lot of Memphis. Too bad. It had potential.

I learned to ice skate there as a toddler and when I was about 7 years old I got to see Johnny Rivers give a free concert at the rink.

Well, I stand corrected, then. It's certainly not the first time, and highly doubtful it'll be the last. I somehow missed that moniker.


By donuts, do you mean practicing adverse weather driving skills?


And yepp, just a couple of blocks from Raleigh-Egypt, back when it was a college prep high school ... in Memphis reserve.

Ah you were one of those uppity Raleigh-Egypt people who looked down upon us Bartlett heathens. Hahahah. Sad to look at those areas now from Raleigh to west Bartlett, many good times! And yes it was advanced defensive driving practice.

I’m thinking of buying a small place down there and seeing how the family and myself enjoy it for a year or so. If it doesn’t work out, I figured we could at least keep the place and turn it into a pad. Initial thoughts are Collierville, Olive Branch, Hernando.

Has anyone here done this in the past?

3 great locations. Like mentioned previously:

Collierville stay north of 385 (some say north of Poplar)
Olive Branch stay south of 302 (Goodman Rd)
Hernando - I’m not aware of any desired line.

Any recommendations for a RE agent? Would like to get an idea if it’s a decent time to buy or renting for a while would make more sense.

Southaven/Hernando: Church Rd. is probably about as far North as I would want to go.
