So, does that mean things would be better if the corrupt officials weren't getting convicted? What kind of measurement is that?
All else being equal, I would rather the corrupt officials get convicted than not (as in Chicago or New Orleans).

Well, that's kind of like trying to polish a turd, isn't it?

You guys stop trying to make yourselves feel better for spending more time away from your kids. Lots of worst out there (guess I could spend another 10 seconds and find your city is the worst at something)

The Money Magazine one only allows you to "compare " Memphis to one of their top places to live.
There are tradeoffs with everything, I lived on the planet for five years. It certainly had its advantages with regard to the job. For ME that was about it. Others certainly enjoy it! We're all different.
I liken it to that "dysfunctional relationship", you don't realize how bad it really is, until you get away from it.

Left the planet this past summer after 6 years. It was great while the kids are growing, however we set a goal to only live there 5 years(took a year to sell). I could not wait to LEAVE!! The only nice thing to say about Memphis is there are some nice people around, however the constant crime is too much for me. Yes Gtown, and Cville have crime too!!

I love these threads. Here, someone else tell me how awesome Memphis is, then get upset when I tell you I don't really care for it.
