I wonder what Tennessee’s crime rating would be if Nashville and Memphis were not included.

The crime would be lower. But so would revenue. that’s the problem, you take one positive and you get a negative, but I don’t think Tennessee could survive without Nashville, and Memphis to a certain degree with tourism.

I was not impressed with Murfreesboro, either. I remember the "free breakfast" at the motel was a bowl of store brand corn flakes and instant no-name coffee with fake creamer. It was so bad it was funny.

Just take out Memphis and it drops to almost zero.

Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville. All three cities run by Dems and - at the risk of being called a racist, which I don't care - Memphis and Nashville have large black populations. Report that CNBC.

Nashville 24.3 percent black

Memphis - 61 percent black

Knoxville - 16 percent black

I read the Tennessee part of this story as I now reside in Tennessee. It seems the biggest complaint CNBC are the laws stating perverts must use the public bathrooms based on their birth sex.
