I agree on a lot of your points. However, I would say Memphis does have a lot to do if you know where to look.

Nashville might be solid blue, but the politics of the state is ran by it's suburbs. The worst republicans imaginable live in Franklin and Murfreesboro. And you can not avoid them if you live and work in Nashville. To make matters worst, the corporate democrats in Nashville just rubber stamp everything the republican's do as long as it benefits Nashville. I managed to last two years in Nashville. The culture is sick.
