Memphis

Umm...it's the largest city in the state of Tennessee, Elvis Presley sang about it a lot, Karen Black wrote a song about it that she sang in the movie "Nashville", and in the summertime it can get real hot and sticky.

Memphis is larger than Nashville?

I'm excited for this. I really loved his score for "The Toxic Avenger." Anyone know if Chad Kimball is transferring with the production? He seems to have been MIA for awhile.

No student tickets?

RippedMan,

Memphis is not larger than Nashville. Nashville is larger in size, city population, and metro area population. Nashville and Memphis are neck and neck with metro population, though. The 4 major cities of Tennessee in order of metro-area population are

1)Nashville

2)Memphis

3)Knoxville

4) Chattanooga


However, Chattanooga is slightly larger than Knoxville in size (I think, don't quote me on that). The Sevier County area (which is right outside of the Knox metro area and includes Pigeon Forge...which is where Dollywood is..., Gatlinburg, and Sevierville) is also a notable mention, but it's population is very low and 90% of the people you see there are tourists.


Gatlinburg, TN ^

Well, that should be enough information on Tennessee for ya.

There are some pretty areas of Memphis, but the Downtown area is just...woof...trouble. I live in Knoxville and I've been to all 4 of the major cities of Tennessee and I have to say that Nashville is my favorite.
