4/4/2009
I've read on some reviews about Memphis on how dangerous it is to stop at red lights in certain parts of Memphis. My husband and I are from Idaho and are going to be there this July for a day and a half. We are wanting to go to mudd Island, overton square, Graceland and the zoo. We are staying at the Heartbreak Hotel in Whitehaven. We were in Memphis for the first time last December and didnt feel very safe down town or in Whitehaven except for the Heartbreak Hotel and Graceland........We were told that Whitehaven is a dangerous part of Memphis.....would this be where it is unsafe to stop at red lights??? So after reading information on the crime situations down there .......I'm a little scared to bring my two daughters there and tour the city more than just Graceland. Thanks, Tana
