I don't like all the Memphis hate on this board.

Why? Memphis is only a 2 star city.

Hahaha. Nice.

Why? Memphis is only a 2 star city.

5 star when it comes to violent crimes and barbecue.

 

[Dust10]

5 star when it comes to violent crimes and barbecue.

And blues/jazz music.

If you walk around with confidence and are aware of your surroundings, you won't be targeted. If you are buried in your phone, walk with your head down, or appear afraid, then you are more at risk. Also concealed carry helps.

The fact that you have to give any kind of disclaimer proves the point...

I agree with his point though. I've noticed in rough areas of Chicago and St. Louis if you act like you know where you're going and have a mission, people don't bother you.

Or they shoot or stab you and you don't get to form that opinion. I agree with your statement that you're less likely to have issues in those situations, criminals generally look for the weakest victim BUT you're still more likely to get hurt or killed in those areas.

I've only been to Memphis once, and I really enjoyed it. Beale St, the historic/cleaned up parts of downtown, and the food were all great.

That being said... I still loooove me some Memphis jokes.

 

[OrangeHammer]

It takes me the same amount of time for me to get to Memphis as it does for me to get to the beach. Not a tough decision there..

It depends what beach and what time of year?

Half these cats haven't even been to Memphis yet make the most noise.. Like any large city, it isn't without its problem yet some of yall talk like you live in some fictional utopia.

That said, having Richmond in would be great - we need all the talent we can get - but it won't break our backs if he does not sign with us. Go Vols.

 

[griffdog14]

I'd rather live in Memphis than Knoxville...

 

[Billy Antrim]

If he's a vol lock why tf is he recruiting for Ole Miss still?

Recruiting his replacement on their o-line?

 

[jp1]

I'd rather live in Memphis than Knoxville...

Ive lived in both....you need your head examined.

 

[BigOrangeD]

I lived near Memphis and in K-Town. I'll take K-Town all day long over Memphis.

Come back to reality, man. You're probably from C-ville or Germantown, anyway, because I can guarantee you wouldn't be saying that if you were from inside the city.

Memphis is fourth in the nation for incidence of violent crimes. You could probably look back through the news and find where several thousand rape kits went unprocessed in their crime lab there. You don't have to live in some "fictional utopia" to do better than that corrupt cesspool.

Just curious what are your reasons for this stance? I want to buy my first house and it's between Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville.

Nashville...how is this even a question?

What are your priorities? I'd throw Memphis out in a second if I had to chose between those possibilities.

 

[Purplehaze26]

I live just outside Memphis. Take Nashville as the financial center of Tn. or take K'town if you are close to retirement and enjoy the big orange!
