Review of Memphis, Tennessee


This is Memphis, watch your step....
Star Rating - 10/31/2008
Memphis is a Metropolis with a large welfare population. We are crime ridden, have an almost hostile mayor with his own agenda, and lots of crooked politicians. We have a long history of tearing down our historical buildings and putting up fast food franchises. Most citizens prefer to stay inside after dark. We used to have a certain cachet as a funky blues river town, but things are becoming fairly homgenized and bland. We are basically an overgrown two bit town, with no clear vision as to where we are going. Oh yeah,as an added plus, we are located on the New Madrid earthquake fault!
