Where they at, where they at, where they at!!!!

I tried to find the answer to this question by myself....but I'm at a loss and pulling my hair out. Can anybody tell me......Where are all of the decent, respectful men at?? Which way did they go, which way did they go? Did they somehow become extinct with the coming of the new century.....or are they simply played out now like light-skinned brothers. Is it just me, or does it seem like men today have more issues than JET, give me a break!!!!For this piece....I don't even think I have to say much more. Ladies (and men) SOUND OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The First 48 is a goner :(


Over the past few weeks, I have heard many people's opinions about the discontinuation of filming the First 48 within the city of Memphis. Initially, the concept of the show was to highlight the police department's (201) expertise in solving and managing homicides......however that was not the end result. Many tourists and OUTSIDERS are now viewing Memphis as a city of terror. Hell, after watching the show, there are times that I felt the same way.....Now, that is definitely not the image that we want portrayed when we have made so many strides towards becoming a progressive and growing city...but is it their fault that our citizens give them so much to work with. Now that the First 48 is gone....I know that local and large businesses will be elated at the thoughts of future revenues and colleges will thrive by continuing to recruit the top athletes,.....but I want to know how is this really going to help the crime or will it???? Sound off and let us know your thoughts.

Can Opposites Really Attract??


Can two people that are from two totally different ends of the spectrum really find true love? Does it really matter if you don't have anything in common? Can you learn to adapt if the bond is real and true or is it simply a wish on a fallen star? Sound off and let us know.....how long can the attraction really last??

What is we gon' do???

Can we make a decision already, please!!!!!! As you all know, since the development of the Fed-Ex Forum, the beautiful, Egyptian image shaped building has been out of commission. What is the city waiting on.... we have had several people place interest in the Pyramid....their different visions include turning the building into a headquarters for huge corporation such as International Paper and Bass Pro Shop or into a huge theme park and vacation resort....but the most recent vision includes a MEGA CHURCH....Cummings Street Baptist Church, Rev. Gary Faulkner, has placed interest in the building saying that he could use the space so that his members can all have one central location rather than continue to use various satellite locations. Sounds like a lot of great ideas, so what is the hold up. Maybe MLE can help out...post your comments about what you want to happen to the building before its' upkeep becomes the responsibility of the taxpayers.
