Remnants of a Hub
Ever since purchasing and eliminating the competition, Delta has done nothing but run the Memphis "hub" into the ground. The flights and jobs are gone, while the escalating extortion fares that the nation's poorest large metro is forced with have massively impacted the local economy. At least it is a relatively pleasant airport when compared to some other ex-hubs (namely Pittsburgh) and has some of the best flying weather anywhere. Although the inept airport authority decided to block the terminal's signature view with an unnecessary parking garage (likely the city's largest public building project since FedExForum), I still love the midcentury design of the main terminal.
