I'm black and agree with your comments. But being honest many of us decent people are moving back into the inner city( midtown, downtown, U of M area, walnut grove area etc..) due to the fact that the "ghetto" is following those people that are trying to escape the ignorance that we're surrounded by. We ALL have something in common, we simply want to live somewhere with good neighborhood communities so we can enjoy life. You can keep going east and to Mississippi all you want but ignorance will still follow and in time take over. By ignorance I do mean ALL people from all racial groups!

This is the reality of where we live. If you want to escape this stuff then you need to move to a different time zone instead of moving a few miles east. This entire area is saturated with stupidity and lazy people. The ship is sinking.

Just wondering how the authorities are keeping out the thugs in North Mississippi, i.e, Olive Branch & Southaven....???

I guess I will move a little further like Lakeland or Arlington. It's so sad you can't live in comfort of your home or apartment now or days.Thanks for the tip off. I didn't know that the section Eight(8)had been incorporated out here in Cordova.That goes to show you what people will do for money.Oh by the way, I am a black female.I just want myself as well as other hard working citizens of this community to be able to enjoy the fruits of our labor, to be able to come home, watch TV or go for a nice walk within our neighborhood, lay down at night and not have to be concerned about the rif raft or people to lazy to work and earn an honest days wages stealing working class,tax payers belongings.Theives, is that to much to ask for? Get you a job. Go rake leaves or sweep off lots or something. OH, I forgot, your job is stealing.

When the area started booming, I overheard a professional say the area would be another Frayser in a few years. By George, looks like he knew what he was talking about.

there is no such thing as a safe place to live. Crime is everywhere now dont mater where u live. My advice to everyone get some Wheel locks for u rides. People will steal anything

We're "refugees" from Cordova. We moved to North Missisippi, where, if we hear gunfire, it's most likely squirrel hunters. 5 years ago, anyone could see which way the wind was blowing in Cordova. Our old neighborhood Hunter's Hollow is "Hunter's Hood" now.

I can only imagine how the residents of Cordova feel...yep, its the new Hickory Hill, and they can say goodbye to their peaceful, serene way of life, no that the section 8'ers have moved in. And guess what? I'm black! This just goes to shows that the classes are not meant to integrate. They should have NEVER torn down the projects. Now, if you want the old suburban life, you will have to relocate further East. I hate this class integration!! The city gov't wsa full aware that the crime was going to travel with the tenants. Fight back Cordova!!

Cordova is the new hickory hill, thank the city of Memphis for building low income housing projects in the area,
