The short answer – Memphis VS Raleigh
When I moved to Raleigh from Memphis, I had several Memphians who treated me as a traitor for leaving.
I love Memphis. I really do. But I love Raleigh too (even if they do their ribs funny). The attitude, the vibe is different here. There is a feeling of hope here, a feeling of possibility. It is not just me. This city dreams. Look at this:
Murders in 2006:
Raleigh: About 20
Memphis: About 200 (!)
Yes, Memphis is bigger, almost twice as big. But not 10 times as big.
