It's a large piece of the Memphis metro. Definitely not some podunk town. This is very not good news.

There's also a Germantown in Maryland. And we had a strong thunderstorm this morning. I thought I was in the Maryland community when I first saw this.

Gosh how inconsiderate of me, we can wave the fine this time if they pinky swear to never ever do this again on purpose within the next two weeks
