F--- Memphis

[Boob-No-More]

Yeah since Portland is basically heaven on earth.

According to a new article in Forbes magazine, Memphis is the 2nd Most Miserable City in the US, trailing only lovely Stockton California.

So yeah, Portland is definitely heaven on earth by comparison.

Here's what the author had to say about Memphis, and their mighty Grizzlies:

"Memphis Blues

Sandwiched between Stockton and Chicago is Memphis, Tenn. The home of FedEx has an incredibly high rate of violent crimes, with only Detroit faring worse. The 1,218 violent crimes per 100,000 residents is more than twice the rate in the New York City metro area. The city's sales tax and rate of government employees committing crimes also fall within the 10 highest in the U.S. Pro sports has been a mess in Memphis in recent years as well. The city's lone major franchise, the Memphis Grizzlies, has lost 74% of its games during the past three years, the worst in the NBA."

Memphis did beat the Hornets last night, which puts the Blazers back in the 4 spot.

I don't hate Memphis, and i'm happy that they beat NO for us last night.

Yeah, but Concord's a shithole.

Ehh. Compared to the town I lived in for my high school years, anything's a huge upgrade.
