How it should be
Memphis is what I thought the South would be - considerate, chivalrous, kind, etc. I have not been very quiet about my distaste for some of the things about New Orleans. There are many things that I love about the Big Easy but some of the people there have left a bad taste in my mouth. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by the kindness of the citizens of Memphis. I mean, my mother and I are here, don't really want to be here, are worried, etc. We have encountered nothing but sweet people asking after us, wishing us well and above all else BEING POLITE. Sorry to say, but you do NOT find that in New Orleans. It's sad.Elizabeth at 6:40 PM
