Review of Memphis, Tennessee


I think this town has finally worn me out
Star Rating - 10/18/2009
Ive lived in memphis for 34 years and watched it go from a good city to , a reverse racist, crime ridden dump. The education system in this city is awful, and now that we are having our second child, and private school is becoming too expensive, I think we are considering moving on. Its one thing to live in a city where your own mayor calls the white people "haters" and suppressive racists. Its one thing to live in a city where the crime is top in the country. Its one thing when the preachers in some of the churches, call people like me "white devils". BUT its another thing when i think about how my children are supposed to deal with it. For now , Im here. Self employed , and trying to get by. Currently , anyone looking to move here, I would highly reccomend, STAY AWAY!!!!! In the words of the great Mike Tyson, "I love this town, everyones just like me".
