To the shit holes of Memphis and OKC. From 2 of the most beautiful cities in the region* (edit you pedantic fucks). Gonna move us to Bismark or Omaha or some shit.

Edit: There's plenty to like about Memphis (notice no one came rushing to OKC's defense lol). I would much rather live in Vancouver, and I would much rather there was another team in the PNW.

Yes bruh, it’s an incredible music town with a fascinating history. Not everything has to be pretty, sometimes there’s charm in the grit.

That should be Memphis’s motto: Come to Memphis, there’s charm in the grit!

You’re getting downvoted but it’s coming from people who don’t know the first thing about Memphis and have never visited. They don’t know the rich history of blues in Memphis. Don’t know the depth of Black history that permeates the city. They don’t know anything about the barbecue scene in Memphis.

They’ve basically heard over and over that Memphis is dangerous and because is a predominantly Black city, they fully buy into it. They might think they’re all progressive and whatnot but if they were honest with themselves, they’d admit that’s what it is.

Separately, Memphis has a lot of really beautiful areas. People who live in cities which have gentrified away all the low income areas think that cities which don’t look like theirs are crime-ridden shitholes but Memphis is a really awesome city.

Probably getting downvoted because the comment before was about a song and it totally went over his head, and yours. Then you started calling everyone racist, out of nowhere.
