Memphis, with a little over 600 thousand and falling has had 352 murders this year. I understand the city is in a race with NY, NY 8.5 million folks. From what I understand, the race is closer than some in Memphis would like to admit.

On the other hand, those in NY, NY, have something of which to brag. Those in NY, NY may suggest that Mephians might want to move to NY, NY where the per-capita murder rate is so much lower. And just think, they have such good football teams too.
