After I've traveled the world and seen the culture that the world has to offer, the city of Memphis, TN really made me feel the most at home. Their population of more than 670,000 definitely gives you the big city feel when you walk around the streets and talk to the people. Although, some may see this as a disadvantage to Memphis, however I found that I really enjoyed it. I was always given something to do to keep myself from being bored and the skyline was something to admire at night time.

The first thing I noticed when I visited Memphis was the large amount of FedEx trucks and planes that I saw around the city. I soon was told that Memphis is the FedEx capital of the world and the main headquarters are based in Memphis. This really says alot to me and everyone that visits about the local areas work ethic and strive for excellence.

One of the downfalls to this big city is the amount of crime that clutters the area. This is really one of the biggest negatives that any city can have and Memphis seems to lead the way on this statistic. Memphis was ranked 4th on the list of most dangerous cities in America. This really leaves a bad taste in the cities mouth. Not all of the members of this city are criminals but one should be aware that these people are out there and they are extremely dangerous.

All in all I love this city and the culture that comes along with it. The hard work ethic and big city feel added to my enjoyment of this city. Although, one must be aware that before entering Memphis that this city is very high on crime so one must always stay safe all times.

For two years I called Memphis home, and I loved my time there. As a fan of music, the jazz and country artists that regularly play venues there offer hours of cheap entertainment. And the cost of living in Memphis is relatively low when compared to other cities of similar size across the United States. The lively bar scene and southern charm make for a wonderful nightlife, which means Memphis is very popular with the younger crowd. There are also many fantastic restaurants in Memphis serving some of the best BBQ I've ever had!

The only drawback to living in Memphis is the widespread crime. Memphis is continually ranked toward the top of lists detailing crime rates in major U.S. cities. However, there is a certain risk that comes with living in any big city, and Memphis is no exception.

Overall, Memphis is a beautiful city with a lot to offer its residents. The warm summers and somewhat mild winters make for beautiful seasonal scenery, and the rich history of Memphis keeps it interesting. So take a walk down Beale Street, get lost in the halls of Graceland, and experience the joy of Memphis.
