Hernando de Soto Bridge over the Mississipi River between New Memphis and Memphis, Tennessee (United States)

"What I'm afraid of, is that it's going to be much easier to have a bedroom community on the west side of the river and we'll lose a lot of our folks."

Memphis Mayor Wyeth Chandler,

about this bridge

Willis Bridge crossing the Wolf River Harbor in Memphis, Tennessee (United States)

 Help me, information, 

get in touch with my Marie 

She's the only one who'd call me here 

from Memphis, Tennessee 

Her home is on the south side,

 high upon a ridge 

Just a half a mile 

from the Mississippi bridge
