Review of Memphis, Tennessee


Memphis is a hole
Star Rating - 4/19/2007
I have lived here for 4 yrs. Memphis as a city is poorly run and maintained. For a major shipping hub, road and traffic control standards are pathetic. Crime is high and rising. If local officials are not corrupt then they are inept. Drivers, if insured, are reckless. Service standards are very low and common so the poor standards are accepted as normal...Joy! Cost of living is low, but with all this to offer it should be. A fine confluence of a ghetto and trailer park. Whoop dee do for the BBQ. I don't like crime with my brisket. And Elvis has been dead (I'll never go to graceland). What a hole - I'm out. Any doubts check out other posts.
