It’s a wash. You pay Memphis property tax and Shelby county property tax

NOLA and it ain't close. Memphis is an absolute shithole. I'd move to Detroit before Memphis.

Nola is a better spot to visit.
Tn/Memphis is a much better spot to live. I have done both.

I like economic opportunity, so Memphis for me.

There are more fortune 500 companies in Memphis than in the entire state of Louisiana.

IN Memphis or NO?

Because if the burbs/metro is an option, Memphis without a doubt.

Are you too poor to afford a meal over $15 ? That would explain a lot

Having lived in both...neither.

One thing TN did NOT have that gives it an edge, or at least used to, been a long time...no state income tax except for bonds, stocks, interest from loans.

The tipping point would be that I’d probably have to associate with people from Marion and West Memphis.

Something weird about those folks, I couldn’t put a finger on it, but a no go.

Rendezvous BBQ was overrated, as well. I know, I should have gone to someplace else, blah, blah, blah.... but it seemed popular, and was in the heart of the city

I lived in Memphis for six years. Overall, I really enjoyed it. Very different experience from NOLA but at least the city has roads that are operable.

Neither.

I'd rather live in Nashville, Chattanooga or Knoxville over Memphis in terms of other cities in the state of TN fwiw.

The fact that the best city in Lousiana is in a tie with Memphis tells you all that you need to know about Louisiana. Sorry, not sorry baws.

Marion

What's wrong with folks from Marion? I know some really good people from there.

At any rate, it's where you catch Highway 64 to go to Greers Ferry.

That's all I know about it, really. Used to know a guy that owned a service station over there. Good guy.
