Memphis is way better than Nashville

Actually, it’s not. Nashville is safer than Memphis. In Nashville you can leave Bridgestone Arena and walk either way for multiple blocks and not have to worry about being shot or robbed. You go to Memphis, they pat you down and search you before entering Beal Street.

If it was in Memphis, where would you have it at? Fedx Forum? Have you ever seen the surrounding area around FedX Forum? It’s not great by any means. As a person that grew up in west Tennessee, Memphis is over rated, and it’s gotten worse over the years.
