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.

Totally agree Spartan J....grew up in in Det Sub. Spend lots of time in Memphis (and Nashville) as well as Det, GR, Sagnasty on business. Colliersville, Germantown and Beale St are great. The TN perceptions here on RCMB are out of whack. Clearly the posters here have not been to Nashville (or Memphis) lately.
Actually Michigan scares the hell out of me...angry people, s**ty weather, very down and out.
With that said go Green, go White!

You hit the nail on the head. What I find ironic, is the same people on here who are judging Memphis, complain when other people make similar judgments on Detroit.
Anyway, GO STATE. I do think the Memphis fanbase is severely underestimating the Spartans.
