Memphis and Nashville

Two of the biggest cities in the entire Southeastern United States, and the biggest two cities in Tennessee

Based on my research and after visiting both cities recently, I’ve noticed that Nashville seems to be viewed as the city of Tennessee’s future and Memphis? Well, Memphis seems to be in the rear-view mirror more these days. I think that’s crazy. Memphis is one of the most unique cities in the country, and it’s a dang tragedy that folks are forgetting about its charm. So yeah, sure Nashville is amazing, but don’t sleep on Memphis, too. It has a lot that Nashville doesn’t, and the two cities definitely complement each other well.

Which is better? Memphis and Nashville? Let me know by screaming out your window or via messenger pigeon. Or, ya know, comment below…if you want me to actually get the message. Also, a lot of that footage you saw was filmed by my family and I so heck yeah. We were in both cities last spring and had a grand ol’ time. Thanks for watching!
