I'll definitely agree with that... but at the same time the Colliseium has brought a major change to the opposing banks of the river... that used to be just a nasty area to look at, but now there's green grass and some landscaping. The GEC is also very nice looking, along with the north end of downtown with Capitol Hill and Bicentennial Park. I think it just says good things for Memphis if you thought it was nicer than Nashville. Knoxville is dirty, and boring downtown... the Old City is where the only decent clubs are outside of The Strip... and here in Birmingham? What a dump!

Memphis over the last few years, since the announcement of the FedEx Forum has exploded. They just opened the arena on Oct 1 or 2nd, I beleive, the first basketball game was on Oct 14th. With the grizzlies coming in the downtown development has exploded and has really cleaned up. Peabody Place is awsome and Beale street is a happening place again, not that I am part of a happening crowd with 3 kids, but all the kids seem to like it! If you haven't been to Memphis in the last year or longer, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
