There's a few good bands from Nashville. Diarrhea Planet, JEFF the brotherhood. But yeah. It's not that great of a music town to be honest. Unless, you like the corporate stuff.

The rural Tennessee isn't really the part you should worry about. It's suburban Tennessee. The suburb culture throughout the state is basically white supremacist.

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 i

No New Orleans, Detroit, or Memphis. I really wished they considered a majority African American community that has the capacity to grow. This is just going to increase inequality. Sad really. Let's hope for Atlanta.

We have issues with people dredging sand in Memphis on our Wolf river. Awful stuff. The philanthropic community has been working on buying up most of the land next through a conservancy. Memphis is built on a thin layer of clay on top of sa

We should move more research to lower cost cities like Memphis or Detroit that have affordable housing. In addition, we need to prioritize funding to our middle tier Universities. I don't understand how people expect us to subsides wag

Except the federal government pumps money into those AAU universities in research grants, therefore they are more prestigious and have better job prospects after you graduate. The system is stupid. But it won't change. You won't s

The federal government should pay Amazon to open an HQ in either Memphis, or New Orleans. Or let's say any metro area over 30% African American and over 1 million people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._

The health issues are a serious problem. I ended up in the hospital with stress induced gastritis one semester. I was lucky I dropped the course, for a W, before the deadline. This program is no joke, especially if you don't avoid cert

GT is aware of this thread, and emailed all the students in the program about it about an hour ago. I would assume it is him. He's very active on the unofficial Google Plus group for the program.

Yes. A top tier college will get you out in front of more employers. I did my undergrad at a lower tier state commuter school, and I got my master's at a top 10 school in CS. It's night and day difference in how recruiters will tr

It hurts on all levels of the income spectrum, from lower to upper middle class. It's real bad in Tennessee where our flagship public school is 389.9 miles away from what was our biggest city in Memphis. I am shifting in the opinion th

The Mother Jones case is completely different. Florida has anti-SLAPP laws, Idaho doesn't. Maybe Florida anti-SLAPP laws aren't good enough, I don't know. But it's a tough balance. Bollea's case was determine by a j

I'll be honest. It's hard for me to hate on Vancouver too much as I truly think Urban planning is difficult. I think people should move to lower costs cities if the situation makes sense for them. Vancouver might be at a disadvant
