re: Living in Memphis

I’m guessing you were born and raised there. I have driven through Marion hundreds of times (my parents had a lake house in Greer’s Ferry growing up), and give me a fricking break. You’re being intellectually dishonest as frick if you think that is a remotely good location for a recently graduated 22 year old. It’s a hick town with the population of 12K. I know your town and the fact that your Tops BBQ has the single ugliest person in the country working for it (at least they were around 2012 and before), but tell me I don’t know it.

I grew up in a piece of shite town south of Memphis, and I’d never recommend a single guy in his early 20s to move there. Seriously do you think a girl who lives in Mud Island, Downtown, or Midtown is going to be remotely impressed by someone who lives in a hick town like Marion? They’ll have to sell themselves hardcore since it immediately puts off the impression that they’re poor to live across the river.

I’m brutally honest, because I know your town well and it’s fricking insane to propose that a 22 year old fresh out of college move there when he’s wanting to move into a city. You may as well be suggesting someone live in Winona or Wynne. You know this is true and you’re intellectually dishonest just because you like your home town and want people to move there.

I mean, Jesus Christ, moving to Marion after graduating single from Ole Miss. If he went up there and looked around for renting a house, and he had a comparable price for an apartment on Mud Island or Midtown, what the frick do you think a 22 year old horny male is going to choose? Even if it’s a 15 minute longer drive, he’ll take that over fricking Marion. No 22 single male would choose Marion over any attractive place in Memphis unless they were raised there AND married. You drive by the Zaxby’s with vacant fields as far as the eye can see, and chicks don’t want that future.

Final Edit: I know how awful West Memphis traffic can be at rush hour, so no I don’t believe you at all that it’s a shorter drive from midtown. Sure from Collierville... but I don’t see how it’s definitively worse than some parts of Germantown, and I would bet that someone can make it to downtown quicker from midtown at 8:00 in the morning than Marion.
