Review of Memphis, Tennessee


Becoming a Great City
Star Rating - 1/10/2006
I moved from KY in 1998 after school and Memphis was a hell hole! I lived in Bartlett and was just getting to know the city. I moved downtown 5 years ago and have seen a tremendous tranformation of the once very questionable downtown area. Downtown is a great place to live, rent a downtown apartment single or empty nest or live on MudIsland if you have children. The race card is played often but it is getting better with more opportunity and better education. Plenty of things to do! I challenge anyone show me a better sunset than that on the Mississippi. City shcools still suck but private is the way to go living in the city. Untapped area around Shelby Forest is great as well but schools suck. Always have Germantown and Colierville and Southhaven to look at if your pretty close minded. GO GRIZZ!
