Only 106 so far in NOLA


NOLA is a lot smaller than Memphis.

Everyone from Tennessee appreciates the history that Memphis offers.

That being said, Memphis is by and large a crime ridden shite hole. Mississippi would be happy have the city added to their state while most Tennesseans outside of the Memphis metro would be happy to see it go to Mississippi.

Every major city within Tennessee is going through a major renaissance right now except for Memphis.

Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Murfreesboro, etc. are all booming and doing better than at any point in their history. Memphis continues to be stagnant and considered amongst the worst cities in the country.

Population 2,500-3,000

I'd say less than 5 murders in 15 years.

To claim that the other cities in the state are going through renaissances while Memphis is stagnant tells me you haven't been here in at least ten years.

Memphis is doing a ton of great things.

The people that say Memphis is a "shithole" have never been here.

I'm not all high on Memphis, but I'd rather live there than any of these cities, except for maybe Nashville, but it's nearly a toss up

Shreveport was at 24 (excluding 4 classified as justified) as of the end of June. Up from 17 at the same time in 2016.
