    I was fixing to move to Memphis to fly a drone for security purposes, but I was looking to settle down in Arkansas a short distance from the border. Then I saw that that bridge you highlighted was shut down, I saw the absurd traffic outside of peak hours at the bridge to the South and realized I'd be playing with fire on drive time, especially if god help me a crash happened on the southern bridge.
    That being said...that pyramid does look really cool. I'd definitely check it out had I followed through on that relocation.
