From Wikipedia:
Memphis is a city along the Mississippi River in southwestern Shelby County, Tennessee, United States. Its 2020 population was 633,104, making it Tennessee's second-most populous city behind Nashville; the nation's 28th-largest; and the largest city proper of those situated along the Mississippi River. Greater Memphis is the 42nd-largest metropolitan area in the United States, with a population of 1,348,260 in 2017. The city is the anchor of West Tennessee and the greater Mid-South region, which includes portions of neighboring Arkansas, Mississippi, and the Missouri Bootheel. Memphis is the seat of Shelby County, Tennessee's most populous county. One of the more historic and culturally significant cities of the southern United States, Memphis has a wide variety of landscapes and distinct neighborhoods.
Memphis Skyline looks the same as it did in the 1980's.
lol that’s because they haven’t decided to change the skyline 🏙 images , maybe one day they will , should want to improve downtown make it look more lively with bigger buildings and attention to detail very opposite of a places like Atlanta Georgia for example
And it’s gonna stay that way for a while. Nashville is getting everything, it’s gotten huge and isn’t slowing down one bit.
You mean 1950s
@@swaggytjmatthews4685 Skyscrapers aren't built for a anesthetics. The size is determined by need. Most corporate buildings in Memphis are either in Midtown or on Poplar Ave. Memphis downtown has evolved into mostly a residential area. The demand to live downtown is so great that many corporate buildings are being turned into apartments and condos.
The problem is the ground. Memphis lies on a fault line and the cost for building high rises on the kind of soil it sits on is very expensive.
Memphian born and raised here 63 years. I seen a lot of good and bad changes. But home!!
Memphis is actually bigger than people believe it is, it's just not dense in population and buildings. I miss growing up and going to the Jazz and Blues festivals and Memphis in May, but alot has changed when I visit
Bruh Memphis is not big.. as a current resident here I can attest to this
@@teflonshontv7197 the city of Memphis is bigger than the city of Atlanta, Philly ,Chcago size wise, not density or building wise, do your research, yes I grew up in Memphis and I can attest
@@mrgeeda5432 And I agree
Over 300 miles in size
@@teflonshontv7197 Memphis is definitely big! Bigger than most well known cities like Atl and Chicago. It just doesn't have the population of the other cities. Sooo everything bruh said was right.
I always like going to Memphis. A very historical place in so many ways.
Be careful in Memphis it is really dangerous
i actually like this video, but i gotta say, this is EXTREMELY one sided, you see, this is about 10% of Memphis...mainly downtown, a small bit of the medical district. Smart man though, we didn't become the most dangerous city in America from these beautiful neighborhoods you see here, there is another Memphis. But THIS Memphis is what draws so many, the amazing architecture, the pyramid...stick to these areas if you visit, and you should be just fine. great vid
Amen to that
Just don’t go to orange mound lol
Stay away from 3rd and Crump, South Memphis, North Memphis , Orange Mound , just listen to 666 mafia they'll point you in the right direction
@@yourtypicalbot1926 Orange mound is not that bad
The title says downtown...
No cap our downtown is so small it’s honestly an impressive feat you was about to turn it into a 51 minute video
LOL. I'm sure the speed bumps helped stretch it out a bit.
Right!
@@MileageMikeTravels 😂😂not our speed bumps
I would bore to death if I had to live in that city!
th-cam.com/video/bUqh0pFuVVU/w-d-xo.html
For a large city it seems to be well laid out and easy to navigate through,very unlike Atlanta Georgia and that's a good thing
Yeah it has more of a grid pattern whereas Atlanta is all over the place.
@@MileageMikeTravels we can thank both general Sherman and the interstates for all the chopped up streets and dead end roads
@@michaelmerck7576 Our interstate is laid out really well. You can be anywhere from anywhere in the city in 30 mins
Memphis is a small city with a big city vibe
@@mastamonsta6159 Other way around
I grew up in Memphis, it’s just like any other town. People love feeding into stereotypes. There are nice and not so nice parts, overall a normal American city. Summer & Fall are great times to visit.
Good to know!
I lived in Memphis. This is where tourist should go. Don’t go outside of this. It’s chaos
I’ve been to Memphis plenty of times. The people are very nice but Memphis seems very dark and I’m from Cleveland Ohio
Memphis maybe be a lot of things to others but for me it'll always be home..... 💜〽🕙
Downtown, Uptown (yes, there is an uptown here!), Medical District, and North Memphis. At least you ended on the high note of Harbor Town..
This is a dope video I was just in Memphis last week I wish I got a chance to explore it like this and ride around to different area like u did please make more we love to see all of this
I live in Memphis nothing to see here at all
Appreciate that
@@essenceaspire6379 millions of tourists seem to always find something to do more than some Memphians in they own city, I wonder why
@@Tj956 cause it's so small and we've been here our whole lives! It's really no activities but if you just visiting its alot to see and do for the tourists.
@@essenceaspire6379 as someone who lives in Memphis I have to disagree. You just have to know where to look
Raised in Binghampton so I lived in Memphis all my life good and bad parts worked in tow truck and electrician during ice storm of 1994
Memphis is a wonderful place in Tennessee to visit. It is lovely.
Do go if you have a chance. It's worth the trip.
Born and raised in Memphis.Stay your ass away, trust me you're not missing nothing!!!
@@sidneyking7636 listen, Memphis isn’t that bad!!! Don’t hate on the place! All you’re doing is thinking about the 336 Homicides of 2021, thousands of auto burgs, many car jackings and countless home invasions. Other than that little detail, it’s great!
@@sidneyking7636 let folk enjoy Memphis. Just because you dont see any value, dont mean others don't. Tourist know alot more about Memphis and it's history more than alot of residents. Smh
I really loved Memphis! I have been here for over 20+ years and I have two successful businesses…. Every city has it flaws!!!!
I'm gonna be going downtown near the fedex forum arena to go watch the memphis grizzlies and brooklyn nets game tomorrow. How safe is downtown?
Nice video Tennessee mike glad you returned back I think Memphis is pretty cool
This video looks like it could have been shot on a Sunday back in the fall if it was that explains why nobody is downtown
Christmas Day
Legend has it that he’s still going over speed bumps to this day
You can blame that on the brainless Challenger drivers.
😂😂
It's probably been 10 years since I've driven around downtown. It looks like more condos around Front and Georgia.
That area really looked nice.
Nice shot of my Yellow 1999 Dakota R/T 5.9 at the end
I came out here 3 years ago for a wedding & never left.
top the video showing all of downtown memphis
I’m moving there from Oklahoma City next month
🥴Welcome to the city. Stay safe 🙏🏽
Great video. Do they have a speeding problem? What is with all the speed bumps.
Yes, they have a problem with that and street racing.
yes speeding problem, murder problem, theft problem, anger management problems...honestly they need to put speed bumps on all the roads in Memphis.
Downtown is a pedestrian heavy part of town (meaning more ppl walk around the streets here than any other part of town). The average speed limit is 30 downtown...so yes we have a speeding problem bc no one cares about the speed limit or pedestrians walking.
Miss my Memphis.. Grew up on the north side.. Westside high.. Had beautiful times there
First place prize for speed bumps.... Thanks for the ride....
I think I self narrated the whole video to my self. Memphis resident for 40+ yrs
Lovely neighborhood towards the end!!
I think it would have been more interesting with some narration about the things and places being scene; but then, I have been a local tour guide for many years. I often took chartered bus groups on a "rolling tour" to give them an overview of the city before going into any of the usual attractions. There is a lot that could be said about the city just doing a ride around.
Do you remember what day of the week this was? Sunday morning maybe? Seems a lil’ “ghostly”
Christmas Day
So u stayed in one area, didnt visit the hood parts like raleigh or frayser orange mound or binghamton or hickory hill Memphis is a lot bigger then downtown oh and dont forget northhaven or shelby forrest great places
I haven't seen riverside drive in awhile. Didn't realize they already started construction
Can people call 211 for transportation and a shelter,about adult substance abuse.
Awesome Memphis Tennessee
Gus's Fried Chicken at 10:42. Best chicken in Memphis, IMO.
I’ll have to check it out.
I agree, the best I had in Memphis. I used to get lunch there.
I'm not from the Tennessee area, but cool vid. Can't wait to see more from you and these awesome go-tos and drives.
Indeed! Much more to come
@@MileageMikeTravels Ok. That's cool. Nice.
This video got 34k views in 3 months!! The only video Milage Mike has that's done that amount of numbers in that short time span!! #MemphisTN #WeFamous 🤣🤣🤣💪🏿〽️💯
Oh yeah this one was a hit. Shout out to Memphis!
@@MileageMikeTravels Yes sir!! Thank you for coming!!! You should definitely come back in May. Downtown looks alot different during Memphis in May and The Beale Street Music Festival!! 🙏🏾💯
I would have loved to have seen the bars and eateries on Beale St.
It was blocked off that day
I'm impressed, it certainly is a very clean city, no litter at all, and they do not seem to have a homeless problem like most cities have either. I know they have a crime problem but still looks like it would not be a bad place to live and work. My only con comment would be they have an excessive amount of stop lights and speed bumps which would be very annoying trying to get someplace in a hurry.
There is a homeless issue here, its just not as in your face as other cities. The speed bumps isn't really a problem and with the interstate system you can be anywhere in Memphis 30 mins.
Plenty of litter here. Especially near the stadiums on the side streets.
As someone who lives in downtown Memphis, I can assure you there is a very large homeless issue. If you look closely in the video you can see plenty of homeless people. It's just cold this time of year, so many are bundled up under building entrances. There is a mission near Danny Thomas that serves as the only shelter most of them can get. As a result, they stick around the area.
Wow looks like a ghost town.what are those noises gunshots?
This was shot early Christmas morning.
My grandma used to live in Memphis back in her day
What’s the safest area to live?
Speed bumps, are you out of your mind?
Can disability people use a lyft app for transportation to go to the shelter about adult abuse when people call 211,I'm living with disability.
Man I miss Memphis!!!!!!!
How long has it been since you have lived here?
All those speed bumps would get old very quickly.
3:23 i peed on the corner of that building when I was out with friends once
28:17 uhh is that what I see the white car with spotlight?
My city
can you please do for us a tour around phoenix , arizona
Eventually
Definitely don’t go to Frayser either lol.
I love my city..can you do a downtown night drive video of Memphis?
He won’t stay alive to upload it if he does
@@rodrichforever5000 that's a reach lol
@@Tj956 yeah I was just joking
Speed bumps on Riverside?
You should've put in the title Christmas Day. 🤨🤔
memphis really does have an "energy" to it. you can feel it through the video. it is like a vacuum.
Where are the people? Just saw one person?
It was Christmas Day
@@MileageMikeTravels Wow! That is unbelievable! I think it's fantastic though. Nice job. That could have been a scene out of "Twilight Zone" episode...really enjoyed it though.
Yes, Memphis is still an Uber religious city. On holidays people stay inside, in one area.
OMG THOSE SPEED BUMPS!!
I know. Never seen that many before in one area.
What’s with all these speed bumps on the main roads ?! How’s is this acceptable 😭
You can hit those speed bumps downtown at 2 mph or 35 mph and they make the same bump
Good to know. I was hesitant to hit them at higher speed since I was recording and didn't want too much camera jumping.
And where are all the people?
It was Christmas Day
Why didn't you go right on Beale St when on A 2nd St
It was blocked off unfortunately. That was where I originally planned to turn.
A should be S
Beale is always blocked to traffic. Foot action only my guy.
Armored car, Kevlar vest and your choice of sidearm is highly recommended.
LOL
He’s not lying especially in the ghetto
I used to live in Memphis, you couldn't pay me to move back to that shit hole
I used to live in Memphis too. It's not perfect but it isn't a shithole. The shithole is actually you!!
Where is everybody? It is busier in my little town of 15,000.
It was Christmas Day
@@MileageMikeTravels Aha! Thanks, it looked strange.
@@MileageMikeTravels You didn't think non-Memphians wouldn't think a certain type of way? Christmas Day should be in the title. 🤨🤔
I hear to stay away from the south side of town there.
AND north lol
City of Crime.
My home M TOWN BABY wassup mane it's a lot of crime here though especially murder 😥
Where is all the people 😕
Christmas Day
Moneybagg Yo hometown
I just looked at my wrist I got time today 🎶
@@MileageMikeTravels fuck it I’m crossing the line today
Uuuh yea I’m from North Memphis and you did right to only go through the tourist areas. There’s no way that you’re gonna ride through the hoods & record
Lol. I don’t know though, most of the Memphis videos I’ve seen on TH-cam are of the hood areas.
Arkansas Bridge
Looks pretty bleak and deserted.
It's not like this. He must've pulled up early Sunday morning. This is a anomaly 🤔
He said he did this Christmas morning
Memphis is one of the most negative places I have lived. Stay away from streets named after states.
*Streets named after states, streets named after neighborhoods (frayser blvd, hickory hill rd, Hollywood, Raleigh-Lagrange, etc), streets named after ppl(Thomas, Chelsea, Elvis Presley, etc), streets named after directional points (Southern Ave), streets named after guns (Winchester), and throw in Lamer, Airways, and Shelby Dr. 😅 Im joking..kinda
Im from here and still haven't explored
Why not?
@@MileageMikeTravels idk my focus was to leave but haven't did that yet
No Hollywood,White Haven, Black Haven,Cypress Gardens. Lol
Next time!
@@MileageMikeTravels good deal Mikee!
The video is titled “Downtown Drive” that’s why.
@@allheartgritgrind1489 easy friend, you miss the lol at the end of my sentence..
I live i Memphis it's the worse can't wait to move out of town
And we can't wait until you move out!!!
Partied their b4
Nice!
really fucking hate this city ngl, but i guess there are some decently pretty areas
Not much too see in Memphis, definitely sleep 🛌 town and it’s actually much smaller than I realized.
This was Christmas day. Alot more active during warmer weather and weekends.
I live just south of Memphis. It is an awful city with about 400 murdered per year. It's a good thing you're at interstate speeds driving through it. They even shoot at you on the interstate, about 30 a year. Horrible Horrible city.
