There are far greater shitholes than Memphis. Baltimore and Detroit are worse. I'd definitely live in Memphis over either of those.

Memphis has some very bad parts that are easily avoidable.

The good of Memphis, and there is a ton of good in Memphis, is not in those places.

It's what you make of it.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else than Midtown Memphis.

I lived in Mid-town when I was younger.

It was awesome as a single guy. Not the best place for kids though.

Well, that may be a bit of an embellishment. I live in BR but have been to Memphis many times and there are a lot of places I'd live over either of them

All the shitholes mentioned in this thread have one thing in common.

Controlled by Democrats.

Every city in the US larger than OKC voted blue in 2016.

Cities vote blue, good and bad cities alike. Hard to imagine.

So why did you not call the cops or beat the guy up?

The last time I went there I was at the gas station next to the airport and a man dragged a woman out a car and was beating the shite out of her.


The gas stations near the Memphis airport are some of the sketchiest I’ve used.

i stayed in several areas of the city last visit. Even out in the suburbs like German town. There just isn’t many redeeming qualities. You can sense it was once a great city but has had better days.

Both Baltimore and Detroit both have some redeeming qualities even if shite holes.

I drove through New Orleans once and it looked like the biggest shite hole I’d ever seen

However I’m a smart enough person to realize that there are nice areas that aren’t near where I was.

Too bad you’re not that smart.

Why is Memphis so terrible while Nashville booming? What is Nashville doing right that Memphis is not?
