A city that is so amazing yet so awful. The 20th largest city (after we got el paso'd), Memphis is a city where the popular phrase "Location, location, location" really comes into play. Staying away from the airport (unless you have a plane to catch) is probably a good idea, even in broad daylight. Also, any street with someone's full name in it (e.g., Elvis Presley Blvd, Danny Thomas Blvd, etc.) has a tendency to attract poverty, crime and poor sanitation. But if you're smart enough to stay close to the river or the suburbs you can find some pretty interesting things and some great food. Don't go to Graceland; it's expensive and boring. However, Memphis is home to a wonderful zoo, Mud Island, and many national and state parks and museums that its residents often take for granted. It's much better than Knoxville, where the Mountain Dew they drink isn't manufactured by Pepsi Co. Memphis' main problem is a racial divide that is caused by a majority of blacks hating whites because they assume all whites are inherently racist. Yes, I realize I just did the same thing. Get over it.
Memphian: Damn, I hate Memphis so much. Why did I have to work so hard at FedEx?
Nashvillian: I love Memphis! Nashville is so boring.
Knoxvillian: I hate Memphis. Everyone there is so snobby. I mean, come on, who brushes their teeth every day?

Unlike what 95% of the people here say, Memphis is a great city. Yes there are bad neighborhoods but those exist in EVERY freakin' city. We no longer have the highest crime rate. I have lived in memphis since I was born and not once have I been shot at, robbed, mugged, threatened, or raped. Our government is messed up but other then that Memphis is a good city to live in. Oh and 80% of the population doesn't even like Elvis and 90% hasn't even visited Graceland. So stop bashing us about him. We have history and who cares if 60% of the population is African American? Thats just stereotypical. If you want to see real crime, move to Somalia idiots.

Memphis is an over-judged place. We have amazing history,beautiful nature, a fantastic zoo, and great food. We may have a high crime rate, but its has gone down. We also have the most amount of churches in one city. We have tons of culture, that mix pretty well. We have so many places to eat, that are sanitary! Beale Stret has amazing history and super cool trolleys! We have historical houses,buildings, and land. I love my Memphis home and wouldn't want to grow up anywhere else. I have never been threatened or harmed in any way either. We have a wonderful soup kitchen that have amazing volunteers and amazing stories. We also have awesome festivals! There's always a place where everyone can fit in! We can only get better from here. We are family. And our family only gets bigger :)
What's so good about Memphis nayways?
Just take a look around! The beauty of this place speaks for itsself!
You're right, it really is beautiful.

You should respect everyone called Memphis they are unique and amazing to be their friends they will never let you down and will always be by your side they are special in their own way and beautiful just the way they are. They are quite good with school or work and have special
talents that don’t like been shown. Their hearts can easily be broken and are usually quite strong. Usually suit the colours black pink and red. Memphis are quite competitive and don’t stop until they find what they have dreamed for

The most wholesome, adorable guy in the world. He will try his best to look tough or cool but he’s just a softie with a massive heart. He’s amazing at art and is one of the best friends you’ll ever find. If you find a Memphis keep him because he’s special. Beware: Memphis’ personality can change with no warning, he can become depressed and lonely easily.
Memphis: What the hell?!!?! *smiles and laughs while squinting*
Person: You’re doing that cute face again.

Memphis is one of the most miserable cities in America. The town is run and occupied predominately by ignorant, racist hypocrites. Crime rates are terrible, and if you were to move here, the chances that you or someone you know will fall victim to violent crime are pretty good. The schools are terrible, but this is not solely the fault of MCS. The reason why our city turns out so many dumb, violent little shits is because their parents don't give a flying fuck. Also, drug use is very common in this town, (you would do drugs to if you lived here). In all honesty, I sincerely hope that the uneducated, violent, thugs in this town get shot, stabbed, set on fire, extinguished, set on fire again, then finally beaten to death with a dildo... Their extraordinary ability to fuck things up has harmed/made more difficult the lives of good, honest, people.
I wouldn't piss on Memphis to put out a fire.
