Okay, listen. Memphis is a great city. A lot of people on here keep saying that Memphis is uncultured and has the highest crime rate. Okay, well, Memphis has Beale Street, the National Civil Rights Muesem, and a whole shitload of other stuff. What does your city have? Nothing. And the 64% African American population in Memphis, why does that matter? That's just racism and being stereotypical. White people are just as bad as black people. So get over yourself because bashing Memphis doesn't make you any better than our city's government, which I will admit is very messed up. But then you go to places like Collierville and Germantown and learn that not all of Memphis is as bad as people say. The people saying crap about Memphis on here have probably never even been here. I've lived in Memphis.. well Collierville.. for four years and have been in the city a lot and I have never once gotten my car stolen, gotten mugged, gotten shot, or have seen any of these things being done. So just SHUT UP.
Memphis is amazing.

Memphis is a wager game where you flip a coin (preferably a Tennessee quarter) in which the wagerer wins the bet if the coin lands heads up. This game was played on the streets of Memphis and became popular among the colleges of the area including Fisk University beginning in 2009.

One of the coolest cities in the South. Gets a bad rep for crime, gangs, and drugs. Has a lot of history but not a lot of money to maintain it. Memphis has great food and an awesome music scene. Memphis is pretty liberal in that it's very accepting of people from all walks of life, unlike many cities in the South. come to Memphis to see where MLK got shot and the things he did to help Memphians and Elvis' home
also home to the best NBA team, GO GRIZZ
