For those of you stuck in Memphis with nowhere to sleep... You're not in the coldest of places, luckily - but a safe place to sleep is always nice. The CourtHouse Coop is lovely bunch of people with a warm livingroom FULL of couches. I stayed there summer 12 and they were super kind and full...

Hey I'm heading to Memphis TN. Things to do are everywhere. ELVIS and BEAL STREET. If you find yourself longing for reconnecting with the great spirts. Or a romantic night next to the missisippi with a bottle of grandad and a warm pipe, I'm going to head in and set up a camp. COME ON DOWN THE...

Stuck in Memphis...AGAIN. Car is doing great and I have cash so that's not a problem. Really not sure what to do next.

So I finally got back to Memphis. I managed to find a soup line and get some grub. I found myself a couple of fellow hobos and started squeezing them for some info on getting out of this shit hole of a town. They told me that anyone caught in the yard did a minimum 3 months in the county. Man...

Hey,everyone my name is Holden. I'm 18 and have been on the streets of Memphis for a while, occasionally crashing a couch here and there. There's not too many squatters around here at all, just drunk, washed up hobos that can hardly speak English. I'm probably going to start moving around as...

Or at least I do.This town has so much potential for being a cool place-it used to be one.Any kid Ive ever met passing through here hated it and was trying to get out as soon as possible because it seems somewhat desolate,what to speak of hostile and almost devoid of good recources for the...
