Now why would the rest of Tennesseans want to divorce themselves from Memphis...the trash can of the South? After all we are home to Graceland and Beale St as well as home to the Grizzlies now. Sure we are the highest crime city, the worst schools, the highest taxes, the most criminals in the state prisons, the most crooked politicals..i.e. FORDS.

BUT we do have Graceland as a redeming feature.

It's just that everytime I am there I feel like I should be looking for the US embassy in case the natives get restless. I still would like to know who the genius was that put the State Technical Institute, now known as SW State of something like that, in front of the federal prison. I will admit that Neelys' BBQ is better that most of what we have in Nashville

Memphis also has St.Jude Children's Hospital.

Hi Gail! Thanks for explaining why sticker wants to palm Memphis off to Alabama or Mississippi. ;-)

Hey, every state has a "Memphis". California has a couple. LOL
