So, how is it in Memphis, TN? Looking at going there on my next trip on my bucket list.

So, is it any locals that are from there, or currently residing there? How is it for Tourist and such. I keep hearing about how bad the crime is down there, so I’m just wondering if it’s worth a trip?

But, I don’t really want to do “touristy” stuff. I want to actually mingle with locals and such.

But nah for real. Memphis is a music Mecca. One of the preeminent homes of black music

Damn… I was actually considering popping up in Memphis for a couple of days so I was looking forward to some good responses in this thread. But damn. Doesn’t seem like I’ll be making it out that way.

Met Reverend Run in there one time

Nashville and Memphis couldn’t be any more different. I can’t see anyone cross-shopping those 2 cities.

I have love for Nashville, but it’s essentially a white woman’s Mecca at this point. Plenty of cowgirl boots, bachelorette day drinking parties and lululemon everywhere. Depending on where you go, the surge in popularity has kinda made it entirely way too touristy. Still a lot to see/do there, but you’re gonna have to wade through gobs of soon-to-be Karen’s and fake tough guy dude bros.

Memphis is black as hell. Way less touristy, although it does have that too. As a whole it’s less gentrified and feels more authentic. The Civil Rights Museum is a MUST. Beale St. is cool for what it is. Plenty of great food there.

But yeah, completely different vibes between Nashville and Memphis.

Went Nashville a few weeks ago. Great food, beautiful city, clean.

Lots of women

Had a blast
