City of Memphis

The moment you cross the Hernando DeSoto Bridge aka the M Bridge and realize you’re about to encounter the world’s biggest redneck disneyland (Bass Pro in the Pyramid), corrupted city government, and one of the most racially divided cities in America — this is Memphis.
Of course Memphis has its own beautiful elements despite the typical I-​40 chaos. Elvis Presley lived here, the historic elements of the city including the Stax Museum, blue and rock ‘n’ roll, Civil War; sports such as the Grizzles and MEMPHIS TIGERS; and major hubs that support the city’s economy like St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Autozone, and who can forget Fedex? FOOD! BBQ, BBQ, and RIBS, and oh did I mention BBQ?
We really do have a lot to offer here.
– Cheap living and a lively ambiance.
– Overton Square is bustling.
– The city is creating more green spaces and art spaces making Memphis a blossoming art scene for the talented.
– Downtown comes and goes — but for this visit — it was on the ups. Did we mention the Peabody Ducks?
Memphis is alright to me and that’s why this mid-​south Southern Belle is getting a 3 star rating.
