I honestly don't see the benefit, financially or socially for people to continue to live I Memphis.

Well, sorry to pop your theory but I was born and raised in Memphis and have lived in:

Memphis 18 yrs.
Nashville 2 yrs.
New Orleans 25 yrs.
Houston, on and off, 2 yrs.
Mason City IA--17 yrs

As far as ranking those cities as places I prefer, I would say New Orleans, Memphis, Houston, Nashville, and Mason City.

People have different tastes and I personally don't care much for white-bread suburban type cities. I like old style places like New Orleans and Memphis.

Oh, and btw, last time I checked, public transportation ridership in Memphis is about double what it is in Nashville, so the "usability problem" seems to be Nashville's.

I lived in Nashville for over 20 years and it is a nice city, but it is provincial and impoverished in spirit compared to Memphis.

Facts are facts, and have nothing to do with your percieved inferiority complex, or the neurosis you clearly suffer from.

As I said, facts...

Quote:MEMPHIS – State spending figures show Memphis has gotten more funding for transportation projects over the last four years than Nashville.

The Commercial Appeal reports the Tennessee Department of Transportation has obligated $664 million in Shelby County in that time period compared to $347 million that’s been committed in Davidson County.

But you keep on laughing, smart***

Believe me, I will.

It simply shows your ignorance....

Ignorance is you thinking you know more than I do in the field that my education and career are in. Like I previously said, these developments are nice for Memphis, but in the grand scheme of it all, I highly doubt they will spur any further development in the core. There are pockets here and there in Memphis that are prime for development, but the want isn't there for a more urban life style and the money sure isn't.

Continue to think that politicians in Memphis will facilitate public and private development that's worth talking about. Private developers don't only develop their city, the also look for development opportunities in other cities. The lack of that interest in Memphis isn't a fluke.

You love Nashville and continually talk about them so much, how about you see where the majority of the money developing that city right now is coming from. It was funny to see the Mayor and other homers bragging about how Memphis was the most affordable city to live in. That means your city is cheap because you don't have nice things. I said it in another thread, but I feel like saying it again, all of you native life long Memphians that have never lived somewhere else in another state should try it.

If you can make it there you can make it anywhere.

I have been gone for 11 years now and miss it every day. I like where we are, but this big old sprawling place does not have the funk and soul of Memphis. There is a feel to Memphis.

Saw the Kennedy Center tribute to Al Green tonight, brought a tear to my eye.

Keeps us from having to live in the same city with people like you. That seems like a plenty good reason all on its own.

Who mentioned the public transportation in Nashville? Fact: public transportation in the south is frowned upon by many people because they see the bus as a service to only be used by poor and black people. Who here rides the bus in Memphis? Crickets...

You're right. We'll continue this conversation when the crime rate, childhood poverty rate, schools, quality of life, general satisfaction, city government, infrastructure, etc. aren't all grouped among the worst in the nation.

He's just pissy because I debunked all his BS on page 1...my only issue with Nashville is their spending our tax dollars on themselves...but when you take a former Nashville mayor, and make him governor, that's what happens...I'm glad Haslam has kept his promise to Memphis.

You love Nashville and continually talk about them so much, how about you see where the majority of the money developing that city right now is coming from. It was funny to see the Mayor and other homers bragging about how Memphis was the most affordable city to live in. That means your city is cheap because you don't have nice things. I said it in another thread, but I feel like saying it again, all of you native life long Memphians that have never lived somewhere else in another state should try it. You'll be surprised what living in a nice city is like where you can actually use the public transportation.

I honestly don't see the benefit, financially or socially for people to continue to live I Memphis.

Keeps us from having to live in the same city with people like you. That seems like a plenty good reason all on its own.

Except he's right!
Try Collierville. We have civilized redneck folks out here

Ignorance is you thinking you know more than I do in the field that my education and career are in. Like I previously said, these developments are nice for Memphis, but in the grand scheme of it all, I highly doubt they will spur any further development in the core. There are pockets here and there in Memphis that are prime for development, but the want isn't there for a more urban life style and the money sure isn't.

Continue to think that politicians in Memphis will facilitate public and private development that's worth talking about. Private developers don't only develop their city, the also look for development opportunities in other cities. The lack of that interest in Memphis isn't a fluke.

I'm about to eat Lunch on Beale, and head on inside the Forum...ah, I love the ghetto in the afternoon!

You're funny. Our tax dollars on themselves...

Put up or shut up. People from Memphis love to ***** and complain and blame others for Memphis being run down. Maybe Memphis should elect a mayor worth a damn that could potentially have a political impact further than Canada Rd.

I'm just speaking in the truth. It hurts at times.

A billion dollars in projects is a lot of 'put up'

Catch up ain't "put up". Like I said, these are all nice for Memphis.

Spending money is one thing, producing something worth a damn is another. See Beale Street Landing, Fairgrounds proposal, etc. Since you love the comparison, look to the east. They know how to spend money and get results. There's a handful of other cities to look at as well if you get sick reading about Nashville.

That's too bad. Would you rather identify with Mississippi or Arkansas? Don't get me started on them...
