Here's something this thread made me think about.
I was working over at one of the rental houses today and on the way home I stoped at Wal-Mart. I ran into a friend and we got to talking, by the time I was done visting with him and finished my shoping over an hour had passed while I was inside. No big deal right?
No, just a normal Saturday afternoon. In the back of my truck in the open with no topper was over $3,000 worth of tools and more inside my trucks cab plus my cellphone and briefcase was in the front seat. Both my windows were down. Everything was just like I left it, nothing missing at all. Like I said, a normal Satuday afternoon.
Anybody want to try that in Memphis???

I use to have to travel to Memphis. I had to work there for weeks at a time.
I used to go to a hole in the wall in Midtown called the Buchaneer I think. Also enjoyed the Bahama breeze eats by the mall.
As for the rest? Well I found it to be dirty, horrible roads and just a horrible place.
That is my opinion from what I saw there. Memphis is one of the last places on earth I would want to live.
I have been to a few others that I dislike more.
Detroit, Atlanta, New Orleans, St. Louis to name a few.
Memphis is in my top 5 for sure. I here the same from many people that live there,have lived there and that still live there.
Everyone talks about King Willie and how corrupt it is as well.
I always tell anyone that is going thru there to fill up in German town and don't stop till you get 30 miles past the bridge into Arkansas.
My 2 cents.

I'm happy that you're happy in Memphis. I wasn't. Believe it or not, there are a few areas in Murfreesboro that I wouldn't live in, buy rental property in or visit friends in. I can say that since I moved to Murfreesboro, I've yet to have to chase someone out of my truck with a hatchet, have tools stolen out of my truck (the cab) or have a car stolen. All happened in Memphis in three years. I don't read page after page of race baited, race hating ignorance in the daily fish wrapper.
My soon to be ex-wife's family all live around Memphis, not in it anymore. Germantown, Collierville and Olive Branch, Miss., are the locations of her siblings and parents. Everyone lived in Memphis proper when we did and now nobody does. They all say the same things about Memphis as you, yet they live somewhere else. I get it. Really.

I live in Germantown which is a suburb of Memphis. If I just dont watch the stupid news or read the rag of a newspaper its a great place to live. Yep the news and paper make everything about race but in fact on a day to day basis I have never had any problem with anyone of any race except listening to way to many people complaining. I have no doubt it is a dangerous city and dangerous not only in "bad" neighborhoods but it is not where I live. Weather is great, one heck of a lot better than Jackson Hole Wyoming or most anywhere north of the Mason Dixon line. Spent a good bit of time in Murfreesboro which is really just south Nasheville nowadays. Nice little city but really not any better than suburban Memphis. Been around Knoxeville and I will take Memphis first just casue I dont wanna drive on icy roads with hills added.

jamesboy, Mufreesboro is thirty miles from Nashville, hardly South Nashville. I grew up in Nashville and wouldn't live within Davidson County free. Murfreesboro is no haven nor is anywhere else. I've expressed my dislike of Memphis having lived there with small children. We chose to leave before the kids started school and are tickled with the outcome. If you're happy where you live, enjoy it.

Benn to Knoxville.Fine place and I ain't a Tennessee Fan! lol
I could live there easily!
Chattanooga use to be a great place as well but it is now going to be if not already over run with Hood.
I suspect Chattanooga to be the next little MemphAnywhere in M Middle Tennessee seems good.
Franklin and Murfreesboro are just to busy for me.
Clarksville is a great place but Tiny town rd area is starting to thug up pretty bad.

Hangnail I know it is 30 miles south but lots of people live in Murf and work in Nasheville and as you go down I24 its pretty much continual housing and shopping the whole way. Its not as different from Nasheville as Germantown is from Memphi.

I lived in Memphis for over 40 years, no living in the boro,
Glad to get of Memphis,
I lived on all sides of Memphis at on time or another.
Yes, there are some good locations in Memphis,
or what is now Memphis thanks to the previous Mayor.
Memphis is dangerous place to live and travel if you are not
familiar with Memphis,
I have lived in Frasier, Whitehaven, Raleigh, Oakhaven and couple others, all those locations once were real nice areas, not several of these locations you dont want to be in even in the middle of the day.
Glad I am out of Memphis.
I still have family there, but they are in good area for now
maybe not for long.
