I worked in Memphis and lived in Southaven Miss. And to put it short and bluntly, IT ALL SUCKS!!!!!!!!

We stayed 2 years and ran like hell.

Now a question. Why only these cities?

Hey MO!

Look at North Alabama. It's the best kept secret in the South.

I came from NY.

I was sent to Memphis to do coordinate relief efforts during Katrina for about 9 days. I really enjoyed the area and found the experience very rewarding. The Memphis Division of Fire Service is home to some of the greatest Firefighters I have ever meet. The city was wild especially if you like the blues! Spent many a night down on Beale street. BB King has a club there and I caught him a couple of nights and he was absolutely awesome! The food was out of this world! The Fire Department has a museum that is remarkable! Has an exhibit where you are in a room from ignition to rollover. Floor shakes, room heats, sounds played and the show is amazing. The people were very nice and helpful and of course the Ladies were beautiful! Shopping was great too! Oh yeah and Elvis has a place there!!!

home grown in tennesse, born from the car to the ER at Saint Thomas Hospital in Nashville, theres good and bad everywhere, Metro magnet schools are placed in not so good parts of town, Madison (just outside downtown Nashville) has become a higher crime area, Joelton 15min from nashville has decent schools and shopping is everywhere , prices depend on where you shop, Save-a-lots are really cheep on food, lots of drugs everywhere,
but still have good people all over. Mt. Juliet (20min from Nashville has a brand new (live work and shop providence center) good schools, Lebanon (30min from nashville) still a nice place , plenty of shopping and dinning, good schools.
you can also look into Ashland City, Springfield, Clarksville, Franklin, Murfresboro, Brentwood is like rodeo drive living.
