Memphis is like any other city of one million plus people. As always, we need to improve in every aspect because nothing is perfect. Living here you have sports (PRO & Minor League), arts (off broadway theatre & art galleries), Music & Entertainment (concerts, blues, jazz, and everything else you can think of), Special Events (Memphis in May International BBQ Festival & Memphis in May Music Festival), outdoor activities (such as access to biking and hicking trails, water skiiing, hunting and fishing, sky diving, and the list goes on). From the people stand point, it all depends on the crowd you surround yourself with. If you are around the right people and make the right decisions, you should be happy with a place like Memphis! There are so many ways to get involved with this city and meet new people for example St. Jude, The Boys and Girls Clubs, MPact, and countless other organizations always can use volunteers. Any city is what you make of it! The cost of living is lower compared to other cities of its size. The job market is very active due to corporations such as FED EX, International Paper, Auto Zone, Technicolor, William Sonoma, Service Master and countless other major companies that either have their HQ or major presence here in this market. And like other cities of this size, we as a city are trying to figure out solutions to the problems that we do have in order to make this a better place to live. As my heading states, Memphis, like any major city, is what you make out of it!
