[Memphis Police Director Larry] Godwin who called the property “third world,” said it was worse than Beirut,

…although [Larry] said he didn’t want to offend Beirut.

I’m actually torn on whether you should get a “Looks Like Beirut” Certificate. Technically you did mention Beirut twice when referring to a condemned building, though you did try to sugar coat it.
