Stop in for a cup of coffee

It's better than it used to be, even down in that area. My neighborhood is much better in that respect than when I first moved here.
When I worked in downtown Memphis, we used to pick up all the spent bullets in the parking lot from the weekend that had bounced of the building and turn them into the police.

I swear that town was like living in a war zone sometimes. We actually watched a gun fight with police in a parking lot across the street one day.
