Review of Memphis, Tennessee


We hate this place!
Star Rating - 7/6/2009
We have lived here for over 5 years now and can't wait to get the heck out of here! I've lived from coast to coast-Burke, VA to Monterey, CA and many places in between and I can first hand tell you this is the worst place I have ever experienced!! EVER! I would never recommend moving here! In fact, when you talk to other people living here about the city, 9 out of 10 will tell you that they too hate this town. From the politics to the crime to the weather to the HATEFUL people, this place is the worst! We now have a 20 month old son and we are trying desperately to do whatever we can to move! Husband and I have great jobs, but that's how they suck people into this city. We make more in our jobs here than we would up in many places up north and east, which is crazy! But many places of employment have to offer more money b/c not many people want to move here and rightfully so! Please think twice before relocating to Memphis! You'll thank me for it later!
