K. Carbon Explains Why West Memphis Is Not Memphis: “You In a Whole New State”

Rapper K. Carbon is making one thing clear: just because a city has Memphis in its name doesn’t mean Memphis natives claim it as part of their hometown. During a recent appearance on The Baller Alert Show, the Memphis rapper broke down the difference between Memphis, Tennessee, and West Memphis, Arkansas, explaining why locals don’t consider the two places the same.

Ballentine, Panola County: A Rural Post Office, Family Papers, and the Mystery of Dickens Place

Appalachian Community Histories – Ballentine, Panola County: A Rural Post Office, Family Papers, and the Mystery of Dickens Place. Along Ballentine Road in Panola County, Mississippi, lies a community whose history reaches beyond the name appearing on modern maps. Ballentine, an unincorporated settlement situated approximately three miles south of Pleasant Grove and four and a half miles south-southwest of Curtis Station, belongs to the network of small rural communities that developed across northern Mississippi during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although it never became a major town or county seat, its appearance in federal geographical records, postal directories, and local historical collections provides evidence of a community whose identity survived long after its post office disappeared.
