Time has named a Tennessee city among the "World's Greatest Places of 2021."


The magazine says Memphis is in the middle of an "exciting evolution" and a top destination.


Between Elvis Presley's Graceland, music on Beale Street and iconic barbecue, the magazine says Memphis is not a spot to be missed.

The vast majority of Tennesseans would like to give Memphis to Arkansas or Mississippi.

This must be referring to all of the interstate shootings.

Time magazine loses more and more credit with each publication.

I grew up there. Can confirm, it’s a shithole. There are 3 better cities in Tennessee.

I travel to Memphis for work and can assuredly say that who ever awarded this did not step one foot in Memphis.

I've been to Memphis on a couple of occasions, it isn't all third world country like it sometimes sounds like. It isn't world class, either. This is most likely Time "doing it's part" by falsely propping up majority black cities.

It’s all just a clown show at this point. Period.

I live about a hour North of Memphis and you are always aware of where you are going there. Hell even the main mall there has had shootings recently. Since 2021 Memphis seems to have turned up the lever on crazy. So much that I don't feel comfortable bringing my family there.

We just take the kids over a weekend to Nashville or Hot Springs if we want to do something in a city for now.
