Memphis is better than Detroit.....

[xsubsailor]

...but just barely.  

Only one other county in America had a worse record at new business startups than Memphis and Shelby County between 2010 and 2014, a new study shows.

Economic Innovation Group reviewed U.S. Census data for the nation’s 3,135 counties and ranked Shelby County at 3,134. Detroit and Wayne County placed last.

Memphis is better because it's a smaller sh*thole.

Can we just give Memphis to Arkansas?

I doubt that they would take Memphis.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's another thread devoted to bagging on Memphis. We're a Delta city with a completely different history and culture than the rest of y'all and y'all don't like or understand us. That's cool. The feeling's mutual.

I stopped responding to these juvenile elementary school post. They're just meant to stir the pot, and will lead to someone getting banned.

Memphis is better because they don't have this going on (that I know of) http://biid.lsa.umich.edu/

Yet we have the cleanest natural water in the world here in Memphis. Just sayin.

Hell, I love it out there. The only problem with California is its voters. Other than that it is an amazing place.

We have that problem in Memphis so we are already used to terrible voters.  The other problem with cali is tourism.

I was born in Michigan.  If  Memphis had an a**hole, it would be better than Detroit

I had to work out of Detroit (aka, DeToilet) for a while. Of the two, I'd pick Memphis for sure.
