Review of Memphis, Tennessee


Yes, Memphis is as bad as everyone says
Star Rating - 10/19/2005
This is coming from a life long Memphian (25 yrs). This city just gets worse and worse as the years go by. There's no need to repeat all the negatives previously pointed out. But I can say they are ALL TRUE. The only thing keeping me here is family but regardless I plan on moving in about 2-3years. I have no children yet because I refuse to raise them in this deplorable city. Everyone that lives here hates it, everyone that moves here hates it, and I'm not sure why anyone would want to visit here. Just stay away and put your money to better use.
