I meet a lot of people in Mountain City from Memphis. They all have the same reason for moving: "Mountain City is as far away from Memphis as you can get from Memphis and still be in Tennessee." It must be pretty rough.greybeard":1al2uf51 said:About the only place I would never live again is Memphis Tenn.
Have heard lots of that opinion of it, but haven't been there enough to have an actual perception. I would easily imagine it to be similar to Lexington or Louisville here. When I was a child my parents took me to a clinic in Memphis to see if their was anything that could be done for my hearing impairment. Now as an adult my wife and I have been through there several times, it's about a midway point to where she is originally from in Oklahoma. We talked to several folks who recommended that we stay on the outskirts of the eastern side. While there we went to a barbeque restaurant and then to the Bass Pro shop which was down close to the river. I was a little concerned about venturing that far at night not knowing the area but we made it ok.
