Last year my husband and I moved from Memphis, TN to a suburb, called southaven. It is in Mississippi. Even though this bsl is not for our state, it will still affect people in neighboring states, As many people in border counties such as mine travel, work and play in TN. So please take time to read this, and if you know anyone in TN please copy this and send it to them. They need to hear from people.
