I know of a place where there are plentiful jobs, explosive growth, new money, prosperity, entertainment, homegrown culture, and vibrant community... and a contagiously positive CAN-DO mindset to go with it! <BR/><BR/>It's <I>NASHVILLE</I>! Whether you like Louis Vuitton and the Symphony, or Bass Pro Shops and CMT - Nashville's got you covered. Show King Willie who's the boss and make your move to any one of the thriving 13 counties that make up the NASHVILLE metro area. <BR/><BR/>Life is too short to spend every day dealing with the stresses and depression of living in Memphis. My hometown sho ain't what it used to be... so welcome to Middle Tennessee!</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-76581238452661004192008-09-02T20:50:00.000-05:002008-09-02T20:50:00.000-05:00Hey, I'm stuck in my chair and my hand just sudden...Hey,<BR/> I'm stuck in my chair and my hand just suddenly stopped working when I read that national post you made.<BR/> I can't click off of it, and my eyes, they are reading it against my will, I can't control my eyes!<BR/> AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!Zippy the giverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07670742278387967862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-78119573312330591742008-09-02T18:00:00.000-05:002008-09-02T18:00:00.000-05:00Anonymous 11:47 a.m.:We appreciate your comments, ...Anonymous 11:47 a.m.:<BR/><BR/>We appreciate your comments, but we actually are writing on national issues most of the time, because it's our intent to plug Memphis into more of a national conversation about what's working and what urban trends are taking place. We write on national political issues from time to time, because if you care about cities' futures, you better care about the next administration, because this one has been dismal for cities.Smart City Consultinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985783340016474051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-41403902629748549282008-09-02T14:32:00.000-05:002008-09-02T14:32:00.000-05:00One man crusade?

To win this one, reason and rightness isn't going to carry it, a cultivated atmosphere and a cultivated consensus are the only way. You're dead on about summits, too many of them here. I've seen so many, I've even instigated a few, you can never get a solution here. I'm done with it.<BR/> I'm outta here next chance I get.

The reaction to your last post served only to remind me of the number of folks on the lunatic fringe there are in Memphis. The problem of the lunatic fringe is a national and local problem. Keeping up with them is a problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-2873512927799805582008-09-02T11:47:00.000-05:002008-09-02T11:47:00.000-05:00SSM,please stick to local issues. you have much mo...SSM,<BR/><BR/>please stick to local issues. you have much more of an impact there than trying to keep up with the national media about national politics/commentary.<BR/><BR/>please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
