Safety in downtown Memphis has greatly improved in the last few years. Throughout the day, especially at night, there is usually a large police presence downtown, especially in the area around Beale Street. Use common sense when traveling in Memphis, just as you would anywhere else. Leave no valuables in plain sight in your car and be mindful of where you are, especially at night. Although the city's race relations aren't as bad as within a 1950s perspective, occasionally one might encounter racism. If you are of a specific race and feel intimidated or as a target of racism, report to the police.
