Went to those sites and from what little I could tell it looks like you've gotten the boot (been banned) from all of them. Probably because of similar idiotic posts.

      <![CDATA[After wasting 15 or so years in Memphis, anybody would have to come to their senses and decide the city is not on the trajectory or ANY greatness in the next 25 damn years !<br>
<br>
<br>
I've read the crap, rah rah diatribes over at Smart City memphis, the CRAP over at places like City-Data, and even the stupid stuff stated on how Memphis is so great, over at even travel sites, like Travel Advisor..<br>
<br>
One idiot moderator was even cheerleading on both websites and many others !  you may have read this crap coming from a mod named Pearlbob ~<br>
<br>
look, Memphis has been screwing itself in nashville (comm) for years now, and the rest of the state of TN doesn't give a crap about Memphis - and that's the truth..get out a bit more around the nation, and you'll find out EXACTLY what people think and say about memphis when comaprisons are made to other cities <br>
<br>
Yep, FEDEX will NOT stay in Memphis...it doesn't have to in the first place !  heck, Fred Smith was quoted as saying that "memphis is not competitive"  ..and that's a FACT that he said that.

      <![CDATA[hey packrat, you're right, but aren't you the SAME guy on other sites such as friggen SMARTCITYMEMPHIS  arguing how great this dump was, and shouting down together with an idiot named URBANUT, a poster that was saying the SAME thing about the lack of attractiveness of Memphis' future growth ?    and most of the other posters on SMC also came online to SLAM the same guy who had the same assessement of Memphis, that you come to NOW ???<br>
<br>
<br>
strange stuff....I can't remember what the poster's name was but he used "anonymous" a lot...and maybe he name was also shekle ??<br>
<br>
if you're the same "packrat",  you sure have done a turnaround to the actual truth about Memphis no way being competitive in the next 10 years !   memphis will be left in the DUST<br>
<br>
and I agree, just get out while you can...unless you have another decade or so to WASTE  !<br>

      <![CDATA[Packrat,<br>
I suppose the folks in Germantown and Nashville could be sitting around planing how they can damage Memphis, but more likely they are sitting around planing how they can protect themselves from Memphis. I'm sure that as far as Memphis is concerned the folks in the suburbs would just as soon live and let live.

      <![CDATA[I was really talking about something more agricultural than the 70's. But I guess my point is that if what the mayor said in his state of the city address i.e that for the first time in modern history city property appraisals are going down, and at the same time some big bond payments are coming due, if that was accurate, Memphis is going to need all the friends they can get.

      <![CDATA[I wonder how Memphis would fare in an environment where, instead of Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett et al, Shelby County, outside of Memphis, was all in beans, cotton and cattle? Maybe fifty or sixty family owned farms or perhaps just a few corporate farmers.

I think you're right. Memphians need to quit trying to make a vocal minority of suburbanites like us and just focus on making the city better.

      <![CDATA[Each time I cross the bridge into Memphis after a business trip to my hometown of Dallas, I feel a huge sense of relief. The D/FW Metroplex is so vast, with strip malls and bank buildings seemingly sprouting up overnight, replete with a bit of jadedness from the citizens.<br>
<br>
A city like Dallas' accomplishments are many, but in my mind, the accomplishments of Memphis, though more modest, are infinitely more meaningful.
