Very few people disagree with this assessment, even Louisianans.

I'll give you this BR is a hellhole....pretty much no one should want to live or go there.

However, there isn't a place in Tennessee that can match the food, entertainment, outdoor sports, and overall culture of the Lafayette/Acadiana area or NOLA. This includes Memphis and Nashville.

Nashville is pretty good if you like crap country music....for real country you have to go to Texas. Although I will say this the Grand Ole Opry is legit (still the best concerts I've seen there were Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen both TX boys)....the only other thing in Nashville is some shitty college bars, one above average to good brewery (Bearded Iris), and a bunch of average to below average breweries.

Memphis is a drug abusers paradise. Shoot up fentanyl at 12PM and get your narcan at 12:15PM....repeat every other hour.

I'm sure some will want to talk about the NOLA crime....Memphis crime basically cancels that out and smart people can figure out where to go in NOLA and not have to worry about crime at all.
