Memphis is far from Miserable

So, as you all may know, Memphis was just listed as the second most miserable city to live in by Forbes.

First of all, Memphis is not miserable. Have you been here? Yes, we have a high crime rate and no effective public transportation, but let's look at the positives here:

- Music just don't get much better then Memphis music
- What other city can you walk through downtown at 8 in the morning on a weekday and hear jazz, blues, and smell bbq?
- Memphis. Tiger. Basketball. Period.

And let's talk about the arts...in a time when most places are weeding out their symphonies, ballets, and operas, we have all of that and more! Did you go to Treemonisha or AbunDANCE? The arts scene in Memphis is hot, juicy, and sweet.

We just saw weekend packed with people in town for UPTA auditions, The International Blues Challenge, and much more.

Miserable? Forbes better check its list again.

And YOU, yes YOU, can get in on the action.

Bravo Memphis is helping you take advantage of all of this with amazing events each month across a variety of arts genres.

Let's show the rest of the country how non-miserable Memphis is.
