i grew up in crittenden county, moved to memphis proper and graduated from wshs. my family farmed all over e ar and we always referred to memphis as that "black hole" - like you couldn't ever leave. i never thought of the draw of the egyptian gods and goddesses in the way that you described it before, but you're so right. i was a pastor at bellevue for 10 years before we left. it's sad what happened to that place.
