Save The Mid-South Coliseum


This is probably the only place my thoughts on this subject will ever be objectively discussed. Venues I formerly considered to be fair and balanced have proven to be otherwise. Even though the intent  exist, the financial support might be lacking. The truth doesn't always turn a profit. Therefore agendas often take the forefront. I don't agree but I understand. I had to say that because that venue is largely what helps me arrive at some of my conclusions. For the most part you get the whole story. It's always good to know what the other side thinks, no matter which side you're on.

I think I finally got this whole thing figured out. Planned or not, the perception has dramatically changed. Some of those suburbanites who left the city realize what they left and want to come back. The land that used to be Libertyland and the  Fairgrounds is now considered prime real estate. The proximity to the Memphis International Airport, Chickasaw Gardens, Downtown, East Memphis and three of the city's major Universities  make it very attractive. Not to mention the two museums and the zoo.

The city government doesn't exist just to attend the needs of those with money. That's what at the root of this drive to demolish the coliseum. Why is Memphis paying $30 million for something Nashville did for 6 on an even older building? The hidden agenda is to build a huge gated community in the center of the city
at the city's expense. One might wonder how "Chickasaw Gardens" fits into this equation. You need only make a right instead of a left going east off Poplar Ave. to see what I mean. It is a perfect example of how an area can be exempt from everything around them. In a city known for it's crime. One occurrence in that area brought about tougher sentencing laws in the state of Tennesssee. Under the guise of 24 hr.security they have what amounts to their own police.

The coliseum is the last piece of  the old Memphis standing in the way. Once it is removed the average city residents has no interest in that area. Why didn't they use any of the federal funds earmarked for housing development to build affordable housing there?  Instead they demolish the recently renovated Cleaborn homes and remodel the also recently renovated Foote homes again. In the mean time we pay $120 to see R. Kelly at the Desoto Civic Center. Save the Mid-South Coliseum.
