2.0 / 5 on the question we ask with women traveling alone at night in mind. Anyone can answer from the stop they made. This is still the first look — the crowd hasn't weighed in.

Seven ways a lot can feel off

  • Lanterns3.0 / 5

    Canopy, storefront, and the stall row itself after dark.

  • Company3.0 / 5

    Other people, open businesses, and eyes on the lot — versus a highway island.

  • Solo after dark2.0 / 5

    Would you charge here alone at night? Rated with women traveling solo in mind, and from the stop you actually made.

  • Leave it2.0 / 5

    Smash-and-grab and cut-cable feel. Five means you'd leave a bag in the car; one means you wouldn't.

  • Unbothered3.0 / 5

    Whether people come to the window, ask for money, or linger at the stalls.

  • The walk3.0 / 5

    Restroom, coffee, food: how far, how lit, and whether it's open when you arrive.

  • The lot3.0 / 5

    Sightlines, cameras, which row is the dark one, and whether the exit is obvious.

First look

Poplar Plaza on South Highland. A city retail lot in the city that led the 2024 violent-crime list among large cities. The plaza can look perfectly normal at 4pm and still not be where you want to be the only car at midnight. Stay near an open storefront, lock it, and keep the stop short. The score penalty is the city rate, on purpose, and it is labeled. It is not a count of incidents in this parking row.

Wattfolk's read of the setting, written for a first visit. It is not a police score, and traveler notes below can move it.

Memphis had the highest violent-crime rate among large cities in this 2024 extract, about 2,501 per 100,000, and a very high property rate.

Source: FBI UCR 2024, transcribed from Wikipedia's List of United States cities by crime rate (the 200 largest reporting cities).

US estimates used for the nudge: 359 violent and 1760 property crimes per 100,000 in 2024 (USAFacts, from FBI national estimates). A city rate is not this parking row.

Traveler notes

Nobody has written on this stall yet. Regulars usually know which door actually opens after ten.

Leave a field note

Score 5 if the stall feels easy, 1 if it feels off. Notes are public and anonymous — no names, plates, emails, or phone numbers.

Wattfolk is an independent field guide, not Tesla. Tesla's own site says 80,000+ Superchargers worldwide. The pins here are the open sites in the supercharge.info directory of that network, with stall counts from the same list. A Glow is a first look or a traveler score. Other pins show a paper score: the citywide crime rate, plus any verified news at that exact site. A blank 60 means neither was on file. It is not a review of the lot. Crime figures are citywide rates, not the parking lot. The news log is reported incidents, not a complete record.
