I grew-up in Grosse Pointe, and still hold a very special spot in my heart for Detroit, but having said that, I know Detroit, and Memphis is no Detroit. Those who live in glass houses should not be throwing stones.

In all serviousness, the cost of living is great, very easy way of life. The housing market and economy is doing well. Good museums, a good zoo, all the facilities of a major city (an NBA team with Fed Ex Forum, Decent Airport, Great Hospitials). Downtown Memphis has an actual nightlife and things to do during the day, which Detroit can't even claim. The suburbs are very nice with good schools, great activities for kids and great shopping. My family is very happy living here. And hey, Memphis's mayor hasn't been indicted, yet. I am sure it is only a matter of time though.

I know its Tuesday but.....
