Crime, speeding, reckless driving top concerns for Summer Avenue area
A man records himself while hanging out of the passenger side of a car doing donuts in a parking lot near the corner of Summer Avenue and White Station Road. Less than an hour after being chased away by Memphis police officers, the speeders returned to taking turns drifting in the empty parking lot. (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian file)
Summer Avenue and the neighborhoods that surround it have, like most every area of the city, their fair share of problems with crime.
