If you get a job offer in Little Rock or Memphis for $95K/Year, which city do you prefer? Why? Thanks

I have 3-year-old daughter and I am Asian. I need to get you advice for relocation purpose.

Little Rock. I'd rather be dodging more hobos than rocks and bullets.

Why? Could you give more detail?
Have you lived in Memphis before or just hear about it from media about its crime.

Hi J Arp,

Have you lived in Memphis before? Why do you prefer Little Rock over Memphis?

Memphis is the closest big city from my location. I've been there many many times throughout my life and it just seems to be getting worse. Now when I go there with my friends we always talk the person with the ugliest car to drive there in hopes that it doesn't get broken in to like some of our other friends' cars.

Its not like we're hanging out at the Crack Fortress either; we just go to the usual night life spots.

I've also gotten myself hopelessly lost in both cities, but I have only been scared in Memphis. I made a couple of wrong turns and then I notice all the street lights were not functioning (shot out maybe?), not a single porch light on, gentlemen standing on every corner staring us down. My friend that was with me has been through his fair share of very shady situations was noticeably anxious which didn't help my nerves. He was the one that locked the car doors and started to get low in his seat...

Maybe I just "lucked" out and picked the absolute worst spot to get lost.

I've never lived in Memphis and honestly I don't know much about it. AR is home and I can see the hills from where I am. I couldn't live over there on the flatland.

On the practical side though, Little Rock is a lot smaller, meaning you'd probably be dealing with less traffic and much easier commute. IMO, you don't lose a whole lot of urban amenities by choosing Little Rock over Memphis. Others may not agree with me and say I'm a fool for not wanting to be close to store A or restaurant B but I could honestly care less. Ok so you won't have an NBA team in Little Rock... again...that's something that doesn't come into the picture if I'm deciding where to live. If it was an NHL team..that would be different, lol!

Yeah, I've gone through both cities at 5:00pm and getting stuck on the 240 in Memphis was by far the most miserable rush hour experience.

I've lived in both Memphis and Little Rock.

Personally, I prefer Little Rock over Memphis because I like smaller cities. Memphis, however, is a good place with plenty of good people -- and I'm blessed to have been able to live there and get to know some wonderful people doing wonderful things for the world. Memphis is a big city and has big city problems, and many people who have not lived in a big city simply don't know how to handle that.
