In all honesty, I love Memphis and have no desire to live anywhere else despite my list. This will always be home.
Love your new blog colors =) ANd I love hearing positive thoughts on Memphis. We like this city, too and don't even want to be in the suburbs. It sure has its downside with the crime and even some of the cultural aspects, but all in all it will always be home and there are so many little gems to be found here.
