A city with the highest crime rate, highest infant mortality rate, and the most corrupt politicians in the US. Memphis is a city in major decline, with a decaying downtown and people fleeing the city in every way possible. 64% African-American population. Crime, corruption, poor schools everywhere. Not a place even Elvis would visit.
Memphis is like blighted urban and ghetto suburbanized and vandalized Mississippi.

City with sucky schools, an awesome park (Shelby Farms), and crime. The only good part of memphis that is non ghetto is east memphis (part of it), and Germantown, Cordova, and then further away there's Bartlett and Collierville. Downtown Memphis, hmm what to say about that. Well, I hardly go there because it's far from east memphis obviously, and there are too many panhandlers/homeless people down there. The river is pretty to look at I guess. Mud Island is fun. The Orpheum is a great place to see some broadway :) The rest of downtown I think is mostly for people 21 and up because all I ever see down there is places to drink and people getting drunk.

People have lots of road rage here in my opinion. It's always the rednecks driving the big ole' trucks that get on my tails. Which won't make me go faster...but, anyway.

Memphis summers are soooooo hot because of the humidity. The rest of the year is kinda bi-polar. One day it will be freezing, the next it will be hot. It does snow here during the winter at least 1-3 days. :)

Overall Memphis is an ok city, but honestly there's not really that much to do. To me there isn't anyway. There aren't any mountains or big lakes or anything. and it kinda sucks having to always stay in east memphis/germantown because the rest of the city is too dangerous :P
Oh i forgot to mention the zoo is awesome! :)
and Memphis City Schools Superintendant (sp?) Kriner Kash is well....let's just say everybody including all the teachers hate him.
Let's go to Memphis and melt in the heat!

1. Hater capital of North America. Second only to Iraq. The place where Dr. Martin Luther King was shot, but Elvis made a god.
2. Nearly everyone is a fat, loud, ignorant, racist, broke and irritating, self-riteous fake religious, bible thumping dipshit.
3. Produces shitty music compared to the music it used to in the past. Mostly terrible hip hop, and even worse punk rock, and even worse blues.
4. Education? What education. Easier for kids to sell crack for their mom and dreams of being a pimp.
5. Too easy to get cracked out and stay that way. The only place where people from surrounding states can collect welfare and food stamps to pay the car note.
6. All of the politicians there are dumbasses. Political issues- the statue in Forrest Park, what to do with the Pyramid, keeping Libertyland open, an easier way to get barbecue sauce out of a silk shirt.
7. Beale Street. Great place to party Thursday-Sunday. If it's not raining. Or no one got shot.
8. Mosquitoes. Church after church.
9. The place that I was forced to live by my parents.
10.The place that I'll be moving back to now that I've got my gun license.
Memphis. Just Memphis, man.

Memphis is a city in southwestern Tennessee. It has a high crime rate, high car theft rate, and lots of morons. The last one is actually the worse, however. The local hip-hop scene is overrun with monotony and redundancy. The city council is ran by a bunch of know nothing monkeys, and a lot people here are stuck in the past. They are pratically against progression. Hell, some even protested the Grizzlies, failing to realize that the team would rake major income. Welcome to Moronephis.

A city in southwest Tennessee (U.S.A.) known for its lack of culture, crooked government, and breakfast food. Everyone there is either pitch black or albino white trash, listens to either ghetto music with the word "nigga" repeated 40 times or banjo ska music, and either smells like shit or... smells like shit. The suburbs are oases in the cruel desert, with Germantown and Collierville having the fliest and most attractive people in the world. However, Arlington and Millington are just as bad as the inner city, except without black people to take out the white trash.
