I apent over 10 years living there as a productive professional and I lived in the burbs, but if I knew what I know now I would have never taken the job there ! I enjoyed my work, but the city and the people are too far behind other cities ! education is terrbile, whites ahte blacks even though some of the so-called liberal ones really come out of the closet in like social settings (I'm white), blacks distrust whites (I might add for good reason it seems to me), the politics is awful, the drivers are stupid, the food is disgusting, the shopping is very inferior, the airport is deficient with very very high fares, it's just an awful awful environment outside of your profession ! are there some good people there ? sure, but they keep quiet about complaining because these idiots start launching personal attacks just because you expect a higher level of quality, food, service, government, access to amentities.
If you can, SKIP ever ever moving to Memphis ! there are too many better plcces to work and have fun . Really, just do not do it.
